Tradesmen are being shafted by an epidemic of tool theft. It’s destroying their livelihoods. We must have their backs.


So why is Ed Milliwatt bankrupting the country with his harebrained schemes?

A timely reminder that a record amount of CO2 was produced last year. China burnt more coal in 2024 than Britain did in its entire 250 year coal burning history.



Cleared out the greenhouse tomato plants today. A few ripe toms some not so ripe.

The man who puts more tax on new gas boilers. Spends billions on a hole in the ground.

Not content with flying to COP once, Ed Miliband is going TWICE. He’s flying back to Brazil for part 2! Meaning in under a week he’s clocked up 24,000 miles and about 10 tonnes of carbon emissions. Shh… he’s saving the planet 🤡

Labour hate wildlife

This dire government is so set on the destruction of British nature that it refuses point blank to listen to any arguments in its support We are going to have to fight for every field, every wood, every bat and every newt 💪 theguardian.com/politics/2025/…

Some dodgy timelines here.

A reminder that at 11:00 am tomorrow (Armistice Day / Remembrance Day), the nation and the Commonwealth will observe a two-minute silence to remember the fallen. Well, except David Lammy. He prefers to observe the two minute silence at 11:11...

The fact that this political ghoul has been lobbying for digital ID for years should be a strong enough argument for everyone to say no.

When the pm has racked up more air miles in just fifteen months than any of his predecessors this century and his zealot climate minister takes separate 6000 mile flights for a climate change summit you have to ignore their lectures on the climate & focus on their rank hypocrisy.

Government is pouring £22bn into a hole-in-the-ground carbon capture scheme that is untested, and benefits oil and gas giants. Meanwhile, @RachelReevesMP says she has to raise our taxes. We should all be demanding that the carbon capture scheme is scrapped. It's equivalent to…

This is a sight seen all over Britain, every day. Abandoned sandbags, cones and A-frames. What hope have we of getting motorists not to litter, if third rate quangos like @NationalHways allow their contractors to dump stuff everywhere without any sanctions?

It can’t make any sense to tax electric car drivers for not burning fossil fuels while allowing people that fly to pay no tax for burning fossil fuels. The answer is simple, extend the charging per mile to the airline industry. Fair, climate effective and tax raising - all at the…

The manifesto painted us into a corner that we should never have been painted into. But having made the commitment we have to stand by it. I just think the credibility of any Chancellor who breaks such a fundamental pledge will disappear. Graham Stringer.

This interview shows that Ed Miliband is putting his net zero zealotry and economic illiteracy ahead of economic and energy security. Shockingly delusional and ignorant. Ed Miliband has spaffed away £30bn of public money on carbon capture machines, banned new North Sea oil & gas…

Rachel Reeves is not “plotting a stealth tax”. Rachel is a dead woman walking. Behold her sunken eye sockets. She’s not in charge of anything. No 10 is doing the Budget. Rachel’s only function is to be Starmer’s sacrificial lamb.
