Superyacht and private jet tax could raise £2bn a year.
Richest 0.1 per cent in Britain emit 22 times more pollution from transport than low earners, and 12 times more than average.
Polluter must pay.
Also need wealth taxes, higher VAT on luxury goods.

According to PQ answer I got just now, the Home Office won't work out how many people who claim asylum & then cease contact & disappear (logged as "Withdrawn applications") have actually left the country, because there'd be a "disproportionate cost" to work this out.
Totally mad
The Dem administrative state is flying millions of future voters directly into swing states. They are being sent to cities and towns throughout Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Arizona.
Given that this is a sure path to permanent one-party rule, it is a very smart strategy.
🔴 The appointment of 12 Labour “cronies” to the Civil Service under Sir Keir Starmer must be fully investigated, the Tories have demanded https://t.co/yTF6v83c91
'The good news for Sir Keir Starmer is that he's finally found a head of Border Command. The bad news for Sir Keir Starmer is that the bloke he's picked has just told him that his plan to smash the gangs wont work...'

In no way should waves of young foreign men illegally entering our country on an almost daily basis be normalised - this is NOT normal.
It is dangerous, it is reckless, it is INSANE.
Tearing communities apart, undermining public services and endangering British people.
Enough.
“Keir Starmer racked up a taxpayer-funded expenses bill of nearly £250,000 as head of the Crown Prosecution Service - including a chauffeur-driven car, first and business class flights and hotel stays around the world.”

For millionth time, it’s energy storage that’s the issue.
Basic Physics.
If you cannot store it for when you most need it (in the dark in winter) it matters not one jot how much you can produce during the day.
Batteries will never be enough for circa 70 million people in the UK.
We are heading for blackouts.
How do I know?
Just last winter they introduced a scheme to PAY people to NOT use electricity as the demand was too high.
And that’s before we are all supposed to be charging electric cars plus using air source heat pumps and making steel from electricity instead of coal.
📍Dublin
Hundreds of foreign military-aged men are loitering around our capital city.
Why are they here? What benefit are they providing to Ireland?
Ireland’s culture is being eroded daily, it must stop immediately 🇮🇪

U.K. inflation is going up thanks to a big rise in the managed price of energy and large inflation busting public sector wage settlements. Service sector inflation is still too high. The Bank should stop the bond sales, not cut rates.
Balsa wood is used as a key component in wind turbine blades. The Amazon rainforest – the lungs of the Earth, is being plundered to supply balsa wood for wind turbines - with a devastating impact on the indigenous peoples of the Ecuadorian Amazon. How is this ‘saving the planet’?
Another inconvenient truth about net zero. Just look at the massive levels of metal extraction (which destroys landscapes) required to fulfill a phase out of fossil fuels (and how many years it will take to produce the required metals). Net zero is a scam that keeps on scamming.
