@VShred_ Enough carbs is..... zero

[Ray @Ray59325969]

@Advocacy_tech @OneManCircus87 @ProfTimNoakes @zoeharcombe Yes Prof Knoakes found that but says you only need the carbs during prolonged exercise. I think something like 10 g per hour
Have a listen very interesting

[Ray @Ray59325969]

@Advocacy_tech @OneManCircus87 Don't think that's true. Read @ProfTimNoakes recent paper on exercise using fat for energy. There is also a podcast with @zoeharcombe

@selectatreks @andrewnjiraini @Marion436842126 And of course we can see the huge reduction in CVD deaths since statins were introduced. There's bound to be research showing as statin use increased deaths decreased.

@DrNadolsky And that's based on ....?

@MohammedAlo @alexleaf @ProfTimNoakes Agree, but do we understand why some do and others do not ?

@Robert52117917 @Ryanair Landed 11 am. Santander 16.50. Almost 7 hours.

[Ray @Ray59325969]

@Ryanair flight to Santander diverted to Santiago. 1 hour wait for a bus then 5 hour journey. Bilbao airport open and 1 hour from Santander. Why not land at Bilbao ?

@RealUnsweetDee @christianprice @AlpacaAurelius Wrong. Most of your cholesterol does not come directly from food.

[Ray @Ray59325969]

@BilltheCatGuy1 @AlpacaAurelius Why vegetables ?

@AlpacaAurelius Why fruit ?

@DrNeilStone @DrNeilStone Neil give me your assessment of Vioxx and how many died

[James Melville 🚜 @JamesMelville]

As someone who has been a lifelong old school liberal and left of centre, it’s pretty obvious that Keir Starmer and the Labour government are not on my wavelength. Instead, they are authoritarian, hypocritical and using sanctimonious fake virtue to try and mask some pretty appalling optics even within their first 8 months of being in government.

The removal of winter fuel allowance for millions of pensioners and cutting welfare for the disabled are huge symbolisms of this. No previous Labour government would have ever have considered punishing pensioners and the disabled like this. So while Starmer repeatedly wangs on about “fixing the foundations” of the economy, how is it economically fair and indeed morally viable to cut £1.6bn by abolishing the winter fuel allowance for millions of pensioners, save £5bn by punishing the disabled and yet spaff £22bn on carbon capture machine or spend £3bn a year to Ukraine for “as long as it takes”?

This Labour government has already shown itself to be completely devoid of vision and empathy towards the mood of the British people. The country is rotting (largely due to the 14 years of appalling neglect and nefarious policies from the Tory government). The new Labour government had a chance to create a national conversation with the people and really listen and act accordingly to their many valid concerns. Tragically, they didn’t. Instead, they have indulged in the politics of punishment, austerity and misery and communicated by a po-faced Prime Minister who comes across as a modern day equivalent to the pompous, authoritarian Malvolio from Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night.

The Labour government is already drowning in backdated hypocrisy of broken promises and bare-faced duplicity combined with an angry divide and rule self-righteousness that only loses friends and alienates voters. And that’s why they are plummeting in the approval polls.

Keir Starmer is hammering pensioners, farmers and the disabled, while he is trousering north of £750,000 in donations and £100,000 in freebies. It’s disgusting and deeply hypocritical.

He promised to clean up the mess in politics and be a Prime Minister with integrity, yet he’s claiming grotesque amounts of freebies, and in that dreadful po-faced manner of his, savagely cutting the winter fuel allowance from millions of pensioners, removing the welfare safety net from the disabled and putting the future of farmers at risk whilst repeatedly sanctimoniously lecturing to the public like we are all naughty schoolchildren.

Labour has tragically abandoned its “for the working people” traditions. “The Labour Party” in name has become an oxymoron. It is no longer committed to its original mission of improving living conditions and the opportunities of working people in Britain, standing against greedy corporations and the military-industrial complex, whilst protecting freedom of speech. Instead, it is the exact opposite - it’s in thrall to greedy corporatism. The over inflated payments to net zero based (largely overseas) corporations is a prime example of this.

To bookend where I began this post, as I often say, I haven’t left the left, but sadly this Labour government have left me. They aren’t anywhere near the values of the liberal left that used to serve Labour and their core voters well.

John Smith (former Labour Party Leader) once said, “People in Britain today are angry: not just disappointed, not just disillusioned, but angry. They are angry at the state of Britain; angry at the total absence of leadership; angry at the absence of vision; angry at the hypocrisy and double standards; and they are angry at the incessant incompetence of a Government they no longer respect and increasingly despise.”

And tragically, his words of wisdom (aimed back then against the Tory government) could equally apply to Keir Starmer’s government of today.

@chris_sutton73 thought you and Scott Arfield worked very well today. Looking forward now to 606. You were a very good player and now a very good broadcaster and I'm a Rangers fan.

@zoeharcombe But the cult won't see it. It will be because we didn't build more windmills and solar. Or battery storage .....
