We all want energy that’s cheap, reliable, and clean — and nuclear could deliver all three. But Britain pays more to build nuclear power stations than almost anywhere else in the world. Why? Bureaucracy and legal blockages. Here’s what’s going wrong— and how we would fixĀ it 🧵

The Greens are the political mouthpiece for ruinous renewables. But they're also hypocrites because Adrian opposes the pylons required in his constituency to connect his beloved offshore wind to the grid.

Everyone dislikes people traffickers. But you know who I dislike even more? The human rights lawyers who go to Calais and hand out their numbers, sometimes on phones in waterproof pouches, for the illegals to call them on arrival. Once more. France. Is. A. Safe. Country.

Afghan migrants have brought as many as 22 "family members" to the UK after a judge declared "family" had no meaning and no legal or blood relationship was required. Just come over and bring the whole village. Judicial activism is absolutely out of control.

Average of eight 'family members'. One as high as 22. No need to actually be family. Tell me again that the judiciary are simply interpreting existing law, in a way that the people who wrote it would have in any way recognised.

Here’s the judge who made this ludicrous politicised ruling sharing a zoom seminar with Lady Hale, who famously issued politicised rulings in an attempt to overturn Brexit.

Untruth piled upon untruth. The so-called green energy strategy is NOT cutting bills Very few new jobs are being created, more are being destroyed by high energy costs — and the few new jobs are NOT ā€˜across the country.’ This morning wind accounts for only 15% of electricity

1. Wind and solar both keep me up at night, but for opposite reasons. Solar works and is winning the global race, Britain simply sits too far north to benefit. Britain is betting on wind instead, yet wind lacks the very traits that makes solar work.

3. So why not in Britain?  3a. Latitude penalty. At 50°N December PV output falls to about one sixth of a June day. The UK ranges from 50°N to 60°N. Cold winters means this collapse in generation comes exactly when we need the energy the most.

Really - have you ever seen such nonsense? £515k per bus of which £200k per bus was direct from UK taxpayers. Oxford's electric busses. The £82.5 million project to bring 159 electric buses to Oxford was funded through a collaboration between Oxfordshire County Council and bus

For the first time since records began, more small businesses now expect to shrink or shut down than grow. Business confidence is at rock bottom under Labour. Here’s why šŸ§µšŸ‘‡
