What do you get if you cross “Energy Security” and “Net Zero”. (Anagram)… ?
“Green Century Seize Tory”
RT @10DowningStreet: The Rt Hon Grant Shapps @grantshapps
has been appointed Secretary of State in the newly created Department of Energy Security and Net Zero.

Here you will find the people who run the Pensions Regulator.
http://www.thepensionsregulator.gov.uk/en/about-us/the-board#407dc27e794a4191bf0fb3ffc67ac24c
They are the ones who allowed UK pensions to invest £1.6trillion in dodgy derivatives and turned a blind eye.
They are supposed to effective at "dealing with risk".
Who is scrutinising them?

For all those who claim Liz Truss crashed the pound. Looks like Rishi’s strategy was short-lived. We are at the same levels now against the Euro as we were during Truss’ leadership in Sept/Oct.
Her low tax growth strategy and supply side reform is the ONLY sensible strategy.

As seen here from the Bank of England’s pensions report - over 80% of its own staff pension fund of £5billion was invested in dodgy LDI’s.
Perhaps the reason they were too slow to increase interest rates.
Please can a financial journalist investigate!

Liz Truss had the right strategy:
Low tax
Pro-growth
Pro-aspiration
Pro-work
Bonfire of EU rules
Supply side reforms
Pro-fracking
Pro-small business
Follow these plans and we stand a chance going forward.

You read ⬇️ in The Times.
Net Zero renewable energy suppliers seeking £30billion in subsidies!
Renewable energy is NOT CHEAP. It cannot survive without subsidy. We should scrap net zero until they’ve worked out how to make it profitable.
This idiocy is killing us!

Remind me… when did you register “Ready 4 Rishi”?
RT @TalkTV: "I resigned [as Chancellor] thinking and believing that would be the last senior job I had in politics".
Rishi Sunak on how he thought his career as a Cabinet Minister was over when he lost the Conservative leadership race.

The downfall of @trussliz was a stitch up by the establishment and Rishi fans. She challenged the orthodoxy and they didn’t like it.
It’s nonsense that she spooked the markets. They were spooked by the BoE not putting up interest fast enough like the Fed & LDI scandal.
RT @julianHjessop: Good example of the 'zombie statistics' still being trotted out against Liz Truss (I have others)... 👇
(£65bn was the amount that the #BoE said it was willing to commit to stab…

So Dominic Raab is being accused of shouting the word ‘bullshit’ in a meeting and that is the bullying claim against him.
This is BULLSHIT with a capital B.
If staff can’t handle being told something they propose is ‘bullshit’, they need to man-up or get another job.

Very helpful explanation.
RT @JTVChannel: Labour MP @KimJohnsonMP called Israel's government "fascist" and then apologised after @Keir_Starmer's team clearly spoke to her.
How do the British Jewish community feel about this?
Ollie responds.

ON THE SPOT FINES FOR WOODBURNERS
Let’s hope they don’t start fining fish smokers next!
Another idiotic policy from the Tories.
Drax power station burns wood pellets shipped across the Atlantic. Is there no end to the hypocrisy and derangement when it comes to net zero.

Wow - what an extraordinary interview!
Anyone who wants to understand about fracking and why we should be doing it needs to watch this ⬇️
Sunak has been outrageous. How can the PM make up Gov policy on the hoof when Parliament voted for fracking and it’s his Party’s policy??
RT @CAR26_ORG: .@LoisPerry26's full interview with Cuadrilla boss Francis Egan about #Fracking. His first interview in a year.
Egan doesn't rule out legal action against the Government.

Here is the extract from House of Lords Report…
“The Measures which could dissuade private vehicle use” …. “Reduced speeds”
The people behind these rules are grinding our country to a halt.
RT @LanceForman: Oh dear. They want 20 mph everywhere.
This is NOT about road safety. A House of Lords report in Nov explains that the purpose of this slow speed limit is to put people off driving so we can achieved net zero faster 😡
Do you support 20mph limits? If not…

Hunt “The best tax cut I can give people is to halve inflation”…
1. Sunak caused inflation by printing £500bn to pay for unnecessary lockdowns
2. It’s not your job to control inflation. It’s the Bank of Eng and they failed
3. Even if halved, it will be more than double 2021!

THE FAILURE OF LOGIC IN HUNT’S ECONOMY SPEECH
Hunts says he will reduce corporate taxes to boost growth.
“But not yet” because he has to be responsible.
Surely it’s best to boost growth asap.
The earlier growth will help us reduce debt faster.
Not doing so is irresponsible.

Madness!
We almost ran out of electricity yesterday because of our mental obsession with net zero.
We have enough shale gas under our feet for 300 years.
Why are our idiotic politicians punishing us like this, not only risking outages but also making it 10 times too expensive?
