🚨Labour and Lib Dem MPs just voted to INCREASE the cost of energy, food, shipping, housing, heating and holidays by voting for Ed Miliband’s new Net Zero target.
One of the reasons I asked to stay in this brief was my time in the Department and seeing how badly we were making decisions about climate and energy.
There’s simply no scrutiny or proper analysis of what these targets are doing to jobs, the cost of living or to the competitiveness of our industry.
The Minister bringing it forward refused to take a single intervention. She did not answer a single question. I’m sorry, but that is simply not good enough.
MP after MP cited bogus figures or praised the Climate Change Committee’s analysis without being even slightly troubled that their cost of offshore wind was wrong by a factor of three.
Get the cost of energy wrong and all your other assumptions about the cost of living and the economy will be wrong too.
I am proud Kemi Badenoch and I have changed our party’s position. We are the only party who have said we should measure the offshoring of emissions.
We are the only party who have a plan to make electricity cheaper without costing the taxpayer a penny. We are the only party with a fully costed plan to axe the Carbon Tax which is replacing clean British industry with dirtier foreign imports.
This debate shows why Parliament is not working. Poor analysis let off the hook by poor scrutiny.
So-called impact assessments which are written to be as impenetrable as possible, and which MPs show no interest in reading or questioning.
We need fewer virtue signalling MPs and many more who can read modelling assumptions.
Kemi Badenoch just annihilated David Lammy, telling Labour to wake up from la-la land as their psychodrama consumes Westminster.
On the day Starmer resigns, Britain faces grave threats, yet Labour still won’t get serious about defence spending.
At least Kemi has our back.
@JuliaHB1 …. None more so than all the u-turns, especially the one on welfare! Remember Rachel’s tears?? At every turn they go completely against the common sense of public opinion & needs.
@JuliaHB1 I don’t think there will any stability in the UK until we have a general election & a new government. The population have seen enough of this Labour 2024 protest vote government. So many terrible decisions in such a short time have been so damaging!
@JuliaHB1 So the noise coming out of the cabinet meeting is that they want to retain some sort of stability!? This shower of a government have been instrumental in causing so much instability amongst the population! All they are doing is naval gazing & scrambling to save their free meals
@lukejcr You were always on borrowed time, Luke, a protest vote for change from a Tory govt that had defeated itself. Poor turn out & a vote for the least bad, perhaps? It has taken less than 2 years, many, many knew within the 1st weeks & from previous Labour Govts. Lab = Disaster 4 UK
@BBCWorld Tanker? What tanker? Where, when?? Did you see it? No, I didn’t!!!…. It’s like a script from Black Adder or the like! Hm! Well, we couldn’t do anything about it as we got no serviceable boats! Not even inflatables? 🤔Aircraft, perhaps? No fuel, sorry! 😰Missiles? No!
The Olympic Committee (IOC) doesn’t want you to see this.
So, here it is: a helmet honoring Ukrainian Olympic athletes killed defending their country against the barbarian russian invasion that is now entering its fifth year.
The Olympic Games have always been Political Games.
In 2022 Olympics, China asked putin to wait until its Games were over before invading Ukraine. So let’s stop the hypocrisy.
@iocmedia@heraskevych
🧵The best response to the bogus decision by the IOC @Olympics to ban the helmet of @heraskevych and silence the memory of Ukrainian athletes murdered by russia, is to see their faces, learn their names and share it with the world!
They want it gone, we’ll show it everywhere!🇺🇦
