I've waited seven years for this moment.

Running out of MPs? Bizarre. Would be quite funny if appointed him Brexit minister. What’s next. Theresa May, Boris and Truss back too? Whole cabinet of old PMs would be quite funny.
@bbclaurak Of course there’s impact to net zero. Something’s got to give. And costs are current costs and it’s EXACTLY the absence of strong policy that will derail and delay cost parity so that people DONT have to pay more in future.
@bbclaurak Great interview and not letting him get away with his spins to get out of questions. Wish you had counter some of the net zero nonsense about target not changing and the costs of 15,20k etc. both untrue.
Great that twitter has this counter information right below the tweet. Which basically says non of these are part of net zero plans. It’s a deliberate attempt to mislead on what net zero means for people.
We will never impose unnecessary and heavy-handed measures on you, the British people.
We will still meet our international commitments and hit Net Zero by 2050.
@darrengrimes It’s true. Hence over 90% of cars aren’t affected by ulez ie. most londoners. It’s the remaining highly polluting that needs to go. Also poorest don’t have a car anyways but is impacted by pollution. So it’s all pretty fair however you spin it.
‘You also have to respect the GDPR regulations. They were both broken, very clearly, by the boss of NatWest.’- nice to see farage see the use of EU regulation when convenient. https://t.co/foLjAJ3PcB
ICYMI: Former Chancellor Philip Hammond tells @AndrewMarr9 that the government should ease immigration rules to help tackle inflation and avoid sending the country into recession.
@JamesMelville Acid rain and ozone issues gone because of regulations for tackling those issues. Ice caps ARE disappearing. Look at the data. Bizarre points.
@JuliaHB1 Precisely. Hence it was all lies to claim / predict food prices would fall with brexit. Just like claiming more money for nhs etc. which is all dependent on economy and global factors.
🔥 In Oct 2016, David Davis, the then Brexit secretary, told the House of Commons that “there will be no downside to Brexit at all, and considerable upsides”.
Well, today the "Davis Downside Dossier" - which records Brexit downsides - just passed 1,000:

UK is Europe’s most gas addicted country
Heat pumps installed:
🇫🇷 3.1m
🇳🇴 1.3m
🇬🇧 280k
If UK had installed as many heat pumps as Estonia, domestic gas prices would be 34% lower than last year
Gas imports 19% lower
💚 Time for a retrofit revolution!

Wow. After introducing his guest as “a particularly distinguished professor of economics at Kings college London” Jacob Rees-Mogg squirms as he’s told some hard truths about the damage of Brexit. Watch in disbelief at what comes next
