The UK should cut its carbon taxes. Instead the government wants to join the EU's ETS which is even higher than the UK's ETS.
This will wipe out even more UK manufacturers.

[Colin Brazier @ColinBrazierTV]

This was the week when the BBC finally had to acknowledge, grudgingly, reluctantly, with teeth gritted, that there is such a thing out there - in the Britain beyond London - which amounts to a form of anti-white racism.

My Friday latest monologue @OutpostStudios

@montie @KemiBadenoch Kemi said she wanted to talk to Henry’s family first. Are you saying this was wrong? Seriously? You’ve lost it.

[Dan Neidle @DanNeidle]

UK tax has gone up significantly over the last 25 years

But the tax paid by the average UK worker has not

This apparent miracle was achieved by taxing “other people”: higher earners, capital, property, banks, etc

The strategy has run out of road

A 🧵 on what happens next.

@JChimirie66677 @LozGreatley @Chiararealini_ As with much wrong today, Blair is to blame.

[Matt Ridley @mattwridley]

Please watch this video.

Nobody, has come up with a better response to the terrible death of Henry Nowak than @KemiBadenoch. Not Starmer, Farage or anybody else.

Her track record on this issue is admirable and brave.

This is what a true leader looks like.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

I knew what I was getting into when I entered this debate and compared to what others have suffered, I've got off lightly. Even so, it continues to astound that Kemi Badenoch remains the only UK political leader offering unequivocal solidarity to women defending their rights.

Henry Nowak was an 18 year-old student on a night out in Southampton.

He was brutally stabbed with a 21cm ceremonial knife carried by a Sikh man.

The footage released last night is deeply distressing and has shocked us all.

As Henry lay bleeding out on the ground, the police arrested him on an accusation of a racial slur.

When he told officers that he could not breathe and that he had been stabbed, an officer can be heard saying “I don’t think you have, mate”.

Rather than attempt to save this young man’s life, the police were more interested in an accusation of racism.

The last thing Henry heard was being read his rights as he was arrested.

When the police are more concerned with an allegation about words potentially said than the fact that a young man has suffered a fatal knife wound, the extent of the mess our police are in is laid bare.

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary have some serious questions to answer.

[Peter Bleksley @PeterBleksley]

It will be a very long time before you read a more important post than this…
RIP Henry.

[Anthony Cole @ACLondon]

@SandyofSuffolk He seems determined to prove you wrong.

[Anthony Cole @ACLondon]

A new form of racism. A bureaucratic racism. An actually institutionalised racism. A racism so thoroughly laundered through the language of progress and inclusion that the people enforcing it genuinely believe they are on the right side of history.

[Konstantin Kisin @KonstantinKisin]

Britain had a moment of silence for George Floyd. Our politicians kneeled en masse to show their outrage at his killing. "I can't breathe" became a slogan.

George Floyd died on the other side of the world. He wasn't British.

Henry Nowak *was* British and his treatment by the police was shocking and negligent in the extreme. Yet there is no minute of silence. There is no coordinated public campaign. There is no kneeling at sporting events.

And we all know why.

During the summer of BLM, some people said "All Lives Matter". This was treated as the highest form of racism and anyone who said this was immediately cancelled. Why? Because the people in charge don't actually think all lives matter in the same way.

They have created a racial hierarchy of victimhood where a career criminal who died through mistreatment by police in a foreign country with 0 evidence of racism like George Floyd is automatically sanctified because of the colour of his skin.

And Henry Nowak, a British man, one of ours, is automatically dismissed and ignored because of the colour of his.

This is the ugly fruit of so-called "anti-racism", an obsession with race that has created a two-tier society which treats people differently because of the colour of their skin.

This needs to stop.

@DPJHodges @lukerobertblack I think they’re worried about losing to Burnham.

[Anthony Cole @ACLondon]

@freddimbleby @christiancalgie He’s obviously been receiving letters.

@ZiaYusufUK You are misquoting her, and you know it. Cheap, disgusting politics. You are very clearly not suitable for Government.

[Maurice Cousins @MDC12345678]

Theresa May put Net Zero into law to salvage her legacy.

She did so without a proper cost benefit analysis, while brushing aside her own Chancellor’s warning that the policy could cost more than £1 trillion. She pushed it through without proper parliamentary scrutiny and without seeking a mandate from the British electorate.

In doing so, she - along with Boris Johnson - did immense harm to the country. She left Britain more exposed to energy shocks, from Ukraine to Iran, while locking us into a policy framework that has raised energy costs and accelerated deindustrialisation amongst energy intensive industries.

Now she has reduced herself to acting as a megaphone for Green Blob advocacy campaigns, uncritically laundering their lobbying lines as independent economic analysis.

On the substance, the report she relies on does not prove anything like the claim she makes.

In short, ECIU/CBI Economics count everything they can attach to Net Zero, call the total "growth", then use that number to imply an industrial renaissance.

But, as @RianCFFWhitton previously noted on the 2025 study, how many people would seriously believe that the weekly shop of an SSE employee should count as evidence of Net Zero’s economic strength?

That is effectively what happens when they add induced employee spending to direct activity, then present the total as the value of the Net Zero economy.

Nowhere do the authors acknowledge the real industrial value Net Zero is destroying, from steel and petrochemicals to fertilisers.

[Anthony Cole @ACLondon]

@theresa_may @mgshanks Net zero is causing deindustrialisation and poverty. And it’s not changing the weather. Open your eyes.

[Anthony Cole @ACLondon]

@Madz_Grant @RHilton77 Yep, there’s obviously a serious cultural problem in @HantsPolice.

[Anthony Cole @ACLondon]

@MrHarryCole He’s impressive. From a UK perspective, it’s striking how Hilton focuses on policy rather than just the slogan-filled, easy answer ‘vibes’ we get from too many UK politicians. It might just work.

[Anthony Cole @ACLondon]

@LibDems @BenMaguireMP Illiterate. Joining the EU customs union would choke off what little growth we have.

[Anthony Cole @ACLondon]

@DonnaJonesMayor @HantsPolice must be held accountable for the appalling actions of its officers. What is the culture and training that led officers to behave so badly? A clean out is needed. Senior heads must roll.
