RT by @john4brexit: 💥 flash UK #PMI composite output index (manufacturing and services) rose again in January to 52.5 (December 52.1), a 7-month high... 👍
Touch and go whether the UK avoided a technical '#recession' in the second half of last year, but 2024 already looking a lot brighter 🤓

The Independent Business Network report of two years ago (the true path to net zero) concluded that we needed oil, gas including from fracking to bridge the gap until nuclear. Wind only as a marginal strategic backup . Anything else will lead to reduced living standards and national insecurity.

RT by @john4brexit: "More than 47,000 UK businesses on brink of collapse"... 🫤
Many are jumping on this as a #recession indicator, but there are about 5.5 million businesses in the UK (incl. 4.1 million with no employees), so 47,000 would be less than 1% of the total.

RT by @john4brexit: ANDREW NEIL: 'UK industry has been paying prices for electricity 60 to 80 per cent higher than French or German industry: £113 per megawatt hour in the UK versus £61 in France and Germany.
In the first two decades of this century, British electricity prices doubled, even when the price of the natural gas generating much of it was falling (before Russia's invasion of Ukraine) because of the extra cost of renewables essential to the Net Zero strategy.
So it's hardly surprising our industry has struggled to compete, especially when you realise that industrial energy prices in India and China are just one third of even Europe's lower energy prices.
Port Talbot is merely the latest victim of Net Zero. Other steelworks have already fallen by the wayside. Our last aluminium smelter at Lochaber in Scotland is only kept afloat by vast taxpayer subsidies. Scotland's last oil refinery, at Grangemouth, was recently scheduled for closure.
The irony is that decimating our heavy industry does not, in fact, reduce global CO2 emissions. It is reckoned that converting Port Talbot to greener electric arc production will cut our CO2 emissions by 1.5 per cent. '

RT by @john4brexit: "Analysis reveals 80% of North Sea oil is exported"
Lots of bad takes off the back of this... 🙄
Most of the UK's oil exports are to the EU. The increased supply therefore lowers the common price across Europe, which benefits UK consumers and businesses too.
Some is also reimported to the UK once it has been refined.
Energy security in the UK and the rest of Europe is increased by relying less on supply from the rest of the world - especially Russia and OPEC.
North Sea production is also relatively environmentally friendly.
And the UK still gets the jobs and tax revenues - regardless of where the oil is sold.

RT by @john4brexit: A YouGov poll in The Times says only 35% of Tories trust Sunak on the immigration issue against 54% who trust Reform’s Nigel Farage.
Easy to give a 👍 to Farage as he’s not in office but gives his views from a TV studio. More jaw jaw than war war.
But what the Tories do trust is his instinct on the issue.
Under his watch I don’t believe a piece of filth called Khairi Saadallah would have been allowed to spend years in our country.
In fact under Farage he would never have been allowed to come here in the first place.
Saadallah arrived in 2013 from Libya. He was a member of Ansar al-Sharia, the anti-Western death cult which had killed a US ambassador.
As a Jihardist he had been trained to kill. There then followed years of violent behaviour, drugs, and convictions for assault. But he was never deported. Why?
While in jail for the he spends time with a radical preacher. Fifteen days after leaving he goes to a park in Forbury Gardens, Reading, where three male friends are enjoying a summer evening.
Shouting Allahu Akbar he murders all three by stabbing each of them just once in the neck. He had been trained to kill back in Libya.
All three were members of the LGBT community and when arrested Saadallah referred to them as “wrong uns” so you might think their sexuality had something to do with a Muslim murderer.
The police, in their evidence, tried hard not to make that link.
He is now serving at our expense a whole life sentence and the pain of his actions were replayed at the inquest of the three this week.
The families spoke movingly about their loss and the great people they were.
My question is how did a drug taking, violent criminal with Jihardist background spend seven years here without somebody, anybody, saying we should kick him out?
Apparently the Home Office thought Libya too dangerous for him. A park in Reading proved too dangerous for three f…

One of the biggest jumps was in #Germany, mainly due to adverse base effects in energy prices.
But perhaps most strikingly, the UK now seems to be tracking #France!
