I’d like to know all your opinions in the comments? I’ve just paid £1.70 a litre for diesel. Why are we not opening up our gas and oil field in the North Sea? Surely by opening these and sourcing from our own reserves, we will bring our prices of fuel down, energy costs down, create jobs, bring revenue and tax into the UK economy that can be spent on the roads, the NHS, UK services and schools. We continue to source our fuel from abroad and it makes no sense to me! We should be backing our UK manufacturing and not let it go abroad! We live in very uncertain times especially what’s going on in the Middle East. Love to hear your opinion, let’s back Britain 🇬🇧 - Bosh ❤️
Labour's latest attack ad on me.
I've never claimed to be a political mastermind, I'm just a normal working class bloke born in a Labour stronghold to two decent Labour supporting working class parents in a tough coal mining village.
I'm not an expert at anything I was pretty good at👇
Getting up at 4.30am every morning for years to go and do a shift down the pit.
Bringing up two children as a single parent for 17 years.
Coping with being made redundant and having my house repossessed.
Volunteering at Citizens Advice and helping people in my community.
Working 3 jobs at the same time on minimum wage.
Working with homeless care leavers in Ashfield.
Raising over 100k for good causes and charities.
Giving away my pay rises to local good causes.
Helping set up and promote our own local mental health charity.
Giving thousands of pounds of my own money to local good causes.
I am exactly the type of person that Labour should represent but they don't.
They sneer and snigger at people from my community which is one of the reasons they are turning to Reform.
Well sneer at your peril as the silent majority have the loudest voices at the ballot box.
So Labour is correct in that I'm not an expert on anything but that's because I've been busy living a real life with real challenges.
Something they will never understand.
Super proud of @jackplaysgolf4 this week - playing at the North of England U14’s. Not the finest on his first 2 rounds on a tough course but today he smashed it 73 ! Keep going Baldy - next week The Reid waits you. You got this !! ⛳️⛳️⛳️
Glastonbury and the BBC are inciting murder and terrorist violence against Jewish people. This so-called festival and the taxpayer funded BBC should pull the plug on this shameful event now and hold their heads in utter shame. https://t.co/Y3BEhGxw74
Well done @jackplaysgolf4@tigerline1970 could not be more proud of you. Keep working hard - who knows what you can achieve. 4
birdies to finish .. get in 🤩⛳️

Great day today welcoming @pannalgolfclub juniors to play in a pre season friendly. Pannal were the winners today and we look forward to the return match soon.
Really pleased with my win today at YSGA - West Yorkshire U16’s at @HowleyGC - it was an interesting round but I really enjoyed it and to get a win at the end was brilliant. Thanks to all the organisers it was a great event.
On Sunday @SandMoorGC juniors welcomed @TheBradfordGC juniors for a pre-season friendly. It was a fantastic match played in great spirit and a draw seemed a fair result. Looking forward to visiting Bradford in May. Making friends and growing the game is so important
When the devil tells you who he is.
Believe him.
Not a single one of these monsters or their baying crowd of fanatical supporters should be allowed within a thousand miles of the UK.

Anyone with proper business experience knows the impact that is coming in April from Labour's job tax - sadly, that does not therefore include the Chancellor or the Business Secretary.
There is real fear across the business community, a crisis is coming and almost all politicians have stopped talking about it.
A lot of focus on the hike in NI, but not enough on the threshold change which is just as damaging. Going from a £9,100 threshold to £5,000 is brutal - it will drag countless lower paid employees into the tax for businesses.
Those devising and implementing these rules, politicians and civil servants, do NOT understand how businesses operate.
We all know about the experience, or lack of it, from Reeves and Reynolds.
There are 306 'senior civil servants' in the Department for Business/Trade. How many have a directorship on Companies House? ONE.
ONE out of 306 has current experience. Just one.
These people do NOT understand what they are doing to business owners. They just don't know or care. Their cosy jobs and pensions are safe.
These aren't city fat cats they're attacking. It's normal, ordinary, decent men and women who are trying to find their way and provide for their families.
These changes WILL result in less investment, fewer pay rises, and a weaker economy. That impacts EVERYONE.
Tax is ALREADY punishing. What's Labour's response? Hike it up even further.
I listen to them in Parliament - Reeves, Reynolds and the other drones. It's worse up close. They don't know what they are talking about. Honestly, it's so bad.
I challenge Reeves/Reynolds to run a small business for just one week, in this climate. Let's see how they get on making these decisions. They can't deceive the cold hard numbers.
We should be hacking tax down - right across the board. Income, dividend, corporation.
Business is all about incentives. The five golden rules - what's in it for me? Anyone who thinks otherwise is deluded.
What does Government need to do for business? Slash tax, cut burdensome regulation and get the hell out of our way.
