Given the continuing inability of Iran and the US to re open sea lanes for commerce, what plans does the UK government have to help secure reliable supplies of fertiliser and oil products? Why no plans to produce more at home?

Honoured to introduce my Bill in the Lords to remove the Irish Sea border, restore democratic accountability in N Ireland and deliver Brexit across the whole of the U.K.

Another British industrial asset falls into foreign ownership - and the Labour government won’t lift a finger.

Everything is for sale…

💥✍️ "When The Facts Change" Post

"Leading economists" finally admit the UK is on course for an IMF bailout ....

Where have they been for the past 12/18 months !?!!

If our careerist, complacent "economics establishment" had started speaking out earlier, clearly warning of the dangers of ever rising borrowing and spending, the UK might now be in a much stronger position ...

Instead, we are on the brink of a proper fiscal meltdown ...

An important article 👇 from @NigelDoddsDUP about his EU Withdrawal Bill, which gets First Reading in the Lords today.

It would provide for the dismantling of the pernicious Windsor Framework in Northern Ireland, and its replacement by mutual enforcement arrangements, so that *all* of us in the UK would set our own laws, and so that the necessary reforms to our economic life could be accomplished without leaving Northern Ireland behind.

Of course this government has no intention of doing this. As Lord Dodds notes, they are proceeding with the European Partnership Bill which will start the process of giving further powers to Brussels.

But it is important to show there is an alternative, a feasible and practical one. Once this government is gone, I hope its successor can get things back on the right track and restore full democracy to all our country.

Conventional wisdom says that leaving the European Union has harmed the British economy.

Listen to almost any Brexit debate – over the airwaves or on the professional conference circuit – and it’s invariably taken for granted being outside the EU has done serious economic damage.

Now we're in June, and as the 23rd approaches – the ten-year anniversary of that hotly-contested, era-defining referendum – this message will be rammed home again and again.

But it simply isn’t true.

She wasn’t just the wife and leader she was the treasurer! She signed off the sums.

Did he buy her that brass neck as well?!

Why do apparently intelligent people still praise Blair, who, while not starting stupid wars, breaking up the country, wrecking th constitution and politicisng the judiciary, savagely taxed the striving classes, deepened our debt and scrapped much of the Navy? https://t.co/MBV3HMtuEX via @DailyMail

How the bloody hell can reservoirs be running dry after one nice week of weather? It hadn't stopped raining for 8 months before that.

[John Redwood @johnredwood]

When is the government going to remove the blocks to get some new reservoirs built? If we have more hot days and more people living here we will need plenty of extra water. The government and Regulator have the powers to fix this. Would also add to growth and jobs.

[Daniel Hannan @DanielJHannan]

So does @MarkJCarney want Canada to accept all American regulations, join a customs union with its southern neighbour and cede sovereignty to the US Supreme Court? The relative sizes of the economies involved are comparable. Why is it different?

Every year they wheel Calder out to tell us there are massive queues at Dover because we left the EU.

What he ignores is that he’s was stood at the same spot years before we left telling us there were massive queues because it’s a bank holiday weekend.

Whatever Rejoiners may dream, Britain will never go back into the EU Ardent Europhiles like Burnham, Starmer, and Streeting are the Jacobites of today. They champion a lost cause that they know cannot win https://t.co/sIt7JF5dsd

[John Redwood @johnredwood]

The UK has tariff free trade with the EU. We import far too much from them. We already run a huge deficit. We need a big move to make and grow more at home to cut the import costs to give us more national security of supply. More trade with them means more imports.

[John Redwood @johnredwood]

Delaying putting fuel duty up for a few months does not cut the cost of living or make petrol cheaper. The government should cut the tax rate as it is ripping motorists off with more VAT on fuel at current high prices.

[Craig Murray @CraigMurrayOrg]

Sky News just did an extended piece on the UK being the world's largest importer of jet fuel, with zero production capacity.

They managed not to mention the closure 2 years ago of the Grangemouth oil refinery which produced jet fuel.
