@Johnmcternan Hi John, how do Ed Miliband’s policies as CX in the UK affect the global temperature?

[Centre Right Liberty @CtRLiberty]

@ryanleeball @Telegraph If solar and wind doesn’t give us reliable power in the summer, especially for air conditioning and appliances, what’s the point of doubling down on them then? Gas is the only thing keeping our grid reliable

[Centre Right Liberty @CtRLiberty]

@BareLeft Unions literally exist to represent their members. Including those in good, high paying, market based oil & gas jobs. Why are you on the left when you’re happy destroying good jobs?

[Centre Right Liberty @CtRLiberty]

@leninology That is the definition of living beyond our means. Public spending especially on welfare, is too high, forcing us to borrow more at higher gilt rates. If a new PM wants to spend more on defence and infrastructure, they’re going to have to cut welfare

[Centre Right Liberty @CtRLiberty]

Red on red attacks. This was inevitable when far left net zero hysteria finally comes into contact with business and worker reality

[Ashok Kumar @comrade_kumar_]

Union bureaucrats push blairite prime minister to appoint a rightwing chancellor who will hurt the working class

[Centre Right Liberty @CtRLiberty]

@MattZeitlin What is the pro-union argument for not allowing drilling in the North Sea and exploiting our own oil & gas resources? There are 000’s of high paid, highly skilled union jobs at risk or not viable now because of Miliband’s policies

[Centre Right Liberty @CtRLiberty]

@timleunig The patronising approach restarts. Tim you know nothing about energy and industry. We already tax externalities associated with petrol, diesel etc in fuel duty; we have road tax for others. Potentially road tax should be higher for EVs given their weight causes road damage

[Centre Right Liberty @CtRLiberty]

- Heavily tax oil & gas companies, destroying viable businesses
- Force them to close, eliminating 1000s of market viable jobs
- Offer underwhelming advice to find new jobs in lower paid, subsidised sectors
- Claim jobs growth

[Department for Energy Security and Net Zero @energygovuk]

We're expanding the Oil and Gas Transition Training Fund with new UK and Scottish gov funding.

Over 1,000 more current and former oil and gas workers in Scotland will be able to access careers advice and training to move into jobs in clean energy and other growth sectors.

@DanielaGabor How do Ed Miliband’s UK policies change the weather? How does they benefit union members?

[Centre Right Liberty @CtRLiberty]

@timleunig Why is a mandate even needed if EVs are supposedly viable and cheaper to run? Why control and regulate what car companies can make? Surely better to force them to compete in the market for sales

[Centre Right Liberty @CtRLiberty]

@alex_callinicos @stefanstern How will Ed Miliband’s policies for the UK change the weather globally?

[Centre Right Liberty @CtRLiberty]

@huwjordan @MatthewBrownLab Unions aren’t an entity themselves, they represent their members. Under Ed Miliband’s reign as energy secretary they’ve seen oil and gas and heavy industry jobs cut, higher energy prices and doubling down on a net zero policy that makes the uk less competitive in manufacturing

[Centre Right Liberty @CtRLiberty]

@7Kiwi @mikegardner_wb There’s a risk that these levies are just added to the suite of things covered under progressive general taxation. Energy costs masked, higher earners punished and the Net Zero clean power plan remains

[Centre Right Liberty @CtRLiberty]

@UnityNewsNet Must be trolling

[Centre Right Liberty @CtRLiberty]

We’re only one more briefing away from Burnham committing to pass a law that residents in the Norf will get a vote on anything proposed to be built in London, and a promise that the same will be built in the Norf

[Sam Bowman @s8mb]

It’s time for London to stop freeloading on the North!

[Centre Right Liberty @CtRLiberty]

@leviathan_rots I’ve been using AI to get to this, basically asking Grok which areas in / outside London, meet characteristics: income, demographics, vibes, architecture, train links, housing costs etc. It regularly throws up the usual Richmond, Chiswick, Wimbledon etc

“For the shirkers not the workers” is an apt way to describe this Labour govt. The only winners have been welfare recipients

[Allison Pearson @AllisonPearson]

When Labour was elected, remember Andrew Marr said the country could look forward to a period of calm and competence. Grown ups were in charge.

When it was obvious we were in for a nightmare of Socialist tax and spend.

Within weeks, the Government had given huge public sector pay rises.

Then the Rachel from Accounts raids on business began to pay for millions on benefits…leading to thousands of closures, a collapse in hospitality and a big rise in unemployment.

Labour: for the shirkers not the workers.

@baylissbaghdad I agree officials in the Treasury will give more discerning advice, but ultimately the Chancellor has the final say. On major energy issues like Clean Power 2030, North Sea drilling, carbon taxes etc Miliband will be hard to stop from No11. But markets could keep him honest
