Ed Miliband has just pledged £11.6 BILLION in overseas climate aid.
Yes, £11.6 BILLION.
While millions of British families are struggling with soaring energy bills, waiting weeks for a GP appointment, unable to find an NHS dentist and watching public services decline, Labour's Energy Secretary is promising to send billions abroad in the name of "global climate leadership."
As if that wasn't enough, he's also announced another £79 million for clean energy projects in Africa and small island states.
Meanwhile, back in Britain, Net Zero targets keep slipping, major energy projects are delayed, our grid is under increasing pressure and households are still footing the bill.
I was in Jersey last week. Their east coast is only 14 miles from France. 7 fewer than Calais to Dover.
And yet...I wondered...why don't they get dinghies full of young men coming across?
Because they intercept them, pick em up, lock em up, and return them to France...a safe country.
With the full backing of UK Border Force.
So why don't we do that?
Today marks 1,400 days, 46 months exactly since Nick Brown, Starmers former Chief Whip was suspended from the Labour party and we still haven't been told why
Trevor Phillips just tore apart Keir Starmer’s disastrous time in office.
“How did a man who won a landslide victory in 2024 become so disliked by so many people so quickly, that even his own party’s candidate in Makerfield promised to get rid of him?”
Phillips begins by noting that Starmer “lacks the common touch” and “he obviously made mistakes. The winter fuel debacle for example”.
In a scathing verdict, he went on to explain:
“I think what did for Starmer is he promised to put country before party and on every occasion he had the chance to keep his word, he broke it.”
“The country wanted the two child cap on benefits, the party hated it. The country said it was time to cut welfare and boost defence, the party said that was unconscionable. The country cheered when the Pakistani-heritage Home Secretary said she’d demand more from migrants before they’d be allowed to settle permanently. Party activists called her un-British and racist.”
“In each case the prime minister chose the party, blamed someone else for his change of heart, ministers, advisers, civil servants, and threw them under the nearest bus.”
A brutal but accurate takedown of a prime minister who betrayed the country he was elected to serve. Spot on, @TrevorPTweets 👏
Shelter security tootage from kennel 7, captured at 3:47 AM. His name is Teddy.
He's 8 weeks old. He was found in a cardboard box on the side of the highway with his siblings - he was the only one who survived.
When he arrived at the shelter, he wouldn't stop crying for his mother. A volunteer gave him an old donated teddy bear. He hasn't let go of it since.
Every night, the camera catches him doing the same thing - checking she's still there, nuzzling into her chest, licking her face. He thinks the bear is his mother.
Nobody has the heart to tell him otherwise.
If Teddy moved you, please share him.
Somewhere out there is the family he's bern waiting for…
@KevinCraigUK@Keir_Starmer@UKLabour He lied and lied and lied not a penny more on council tax he said that on live tv - I will reduce energy bills by £300 another lie I will not increase taxes on working people another lie and the biggie taking winter fuel payments pensioners he’s done and so are Liebour
January, 2025. Keir Starmer is asked why he and his "Safeguarding Minister" Jess Phillips do not support a national inquiry into grooming gangs.
Starmer claimed that the "basic problem" was already well known and then immediately pivoted to attacking the people who were calling for the national inquiry.
Starmer: They're spreading misinformation. They're jumping on the far right bandwagon. They're trying to incite violence. They're looking for attention.
Everything Starmer said in this video was in direct response to being asked why he doesn't want a national inquiry into grooming gangs.
