🚨 YOU LITERALLY HAVE TO READ THIS TO BELIEVE IT.

If you own a home, have a pension, or plan to leave an inheritance, Andy Burnham's leaked economic plans should terrify you. 🤡

He is planning to scrap the capital gains tax "uplift on death," meaning grieving families will be hit with double tax bills on inherited family homes.

Begbies Chartered Accountants confirmed this double levy will hit grieving families with an effective 62% tax rate!

But it gets even worse.

Burnham wants to replace council tax with a new annual property tax of 0.48% of your home's value.

If you live in an average £553,000 house, you will be forced to pay £2,654 every single year just for the privilege of living in your own home!

They want to tax you while you live, tax you when you die, and tax your children for mourning you.

In 1995, 77.1% of global primary energy was provided by fossil fuels.

As of 2024 (the latest data I could find), 76.4% still comes from fossil fuels.

That's a whopping *sarc* 0.7 percentage point drop in 30 years.

Governments have spent TRILLIONS of taxpayer dollars on “green” energy projects, and while growth in renewables has been enormous (particularly solar), it has barely made a dent in the global energy mix (note, these figures are based on the substitution method for fair cross-comparison, so it slightly lowers fossil fuels) because coal, oil, and natural gas consumption continue to increase year after year.

If eco nuts like you actually wanted to “decarbonize” the economy, then a deregulation of and transition to nuclear fission would achieve that far faster.

UK Climate Change Committee recommendations to the UK government: Absolutely ridiculous.

Port Talbot’s blast furnaces are closed. 2,000 workers have paid the price.

The political class calls it climate progress.

But if steel is made in India instead of Britain, emissions haven’t disappeared they’ve just been outsourced.

UK gets poorer. The climate gets no benefit.

🚨NEW: Did you see the BBC helicopter that followed Andy Burnham's train from Manchester to London?

Well, I've submitted a Freedom of Information request to find out how much licence fee payers' money was *WASTED* on this blatant state-sponsored propaganda!

@DSWildBloom86 Brings back so many memories.

@JPBWFarm @JamesMelville This is absolutely appalling. This should never be allowed to happen.

The 1976 UK heatwave was one of the most intense, prolonged periods of high temperatures in British history, lasting from 23 June to 27 August 1976. But no one blamed cow farts and the weather maps certainly didn’t look like a volcano had erupted over Britain.

[Dr. Matthew M. Wielicki @MatthewWielicki]

The UK just “smashed” its May temperature record… but here’s the part the Met Office conveniently leaves out:
The PREVIOUS record was set in 1922.

That’s 104 years ago.

Long before SUVs, private jets, or modern CO₂ emissions. Heathrow Airport didn’t even exist yet. The area was literally farmland and small villages.

So if a 1922 heatwave could produce nearly identical temperatures in a world with ~130 ppm less CO₂, maybe, just maybe, natural variability plays a much bigger role than the panic merchants admit.

[Concerned Citizen @BGatesIsaPyscho]

Meanwhile in 1990

- No Maps plastered in Hellish Red or even Black
- No Headlines every 10 minutes stating the World is on fire
- Nobody saying to stay inside because of the Sun
- No relentless Climate Change Hoax Scam Propaganda

Just the normal Weather on a reasonably hot day.

We are a volunteer-run, community club. Countless hours are spent by volunteers to provide a safe & welcoming environment for all at Whitchurch Hospital.

To have repeatedly suffered such a pattern of vandalism over the years is incredibly disheartening for all at WHCC. (3/3)

[Whitchurch Heath CC 🏏 @wh_cc]

We are absolutely devastated and lost for words. The matter has been reported to South Wales Police, but that does not undo the damage that continues to be caused to our club and facilities. (2/3).

[Whitchurch Heath CC 🏏 @wh_cc]

Enough is enough.

Vandalism has struck again at our ground. This time, our scoreboard has been set on fire in broad daylight this afternoon and both of our rollers have been severely damaged. (1/3).
