My interview with @mattforde, first released on 25 November, talking mainly about my #spinalstroke #spinalcordinjury and recovery earlier this year, and a little bit of what’s been happening since https://t.co/D7mQQniPzU

65 Labour peers didn't turn up. One even joined the exodus to live in Dubai. That's why you lost the vote, Angela. You can't even get your own Lords to vote for this dreadful Bill.

The next Conservative government will ditch the ban on petrol cars

I met with @ClaireCoutinho to exchange insights on energy prices and security. I reiterated to MP Coutinho that high energy costs in the UK are the chief obstacle to economic investment and growth, which will make it difficult for UK companies to be competitive.  I appreciate her

Imagine if everything in life was as good as gold. It’s easy to invest in, could help grow your wealth, and protect it too. A timeless asset that stands strong when others may not.

🚨This is a bombshell moment. A must-read report from the grid operator forecasts rushing to Net Zero as Ed Miliband is doing makes our energy system £350 billion more expensive than going slower. That’s equivalent to 0.4% of GDP every single year from now to 2050 or £500 per

A 78 per cent tax rate on UK oil and gas is not a strategy. It is economic vandalism. Mark my words, when investment leaves, jobs go with it. And when production falls, we end up at the mercy of foreign suppliers who do not share our values, our standards or our interests.

Oh, and with regards to Norway, there are many things to consider when emulating their approach. Like, continuing to encourage new #oilandgas production. Like, retaining status as an independent coastal state, OUTSIDE of the #commonfisheriespolicy #CFP by remaining outside EU.

So basically, nationalise energy in an independent Scotland? Will that go for ALL energy systems or only new projects? Any analysis on what that would do for future investment? And, without any new nuclear, what will serve as base load in an otherwise weather-based power system?

😴 I was nodding off but did FM take credit for Scotland getting into World Cup at one point? Lots of comparisons with Norway, but is he remembering that Norway are not members of EU? 🤔 Reminds me of the 2019 GE campaign when apparently a vote for SNP meant, “Stop Brexit!” 🤪

This is astonishing. A staggering level of incompetence. The Prime Minister doesn’t understand how the windfall tax works. 200,000 jobs are on the line in the oil and gas industry because he hasn’t bothered to understand how damaging the EPL is for investment.

The PM doesn't understand the Energy Profits Levy. Following his TV comments, my NE Scotland neighbour @AndrewBowie_MP & I have written to the PM saying that, by his own logic, the EPL must end. ❌There is no windfall. ❌So why are #OilandGas companies paying a windfall tax?

Sir Ian Wood is someone @UKLabour should take seriously. I also agree with @StephenFlynnSNP - as I said earlier - this is a good opportunity for @GBEgovuk to step up and show us what benefit they can bring to the NE Scotland economy. https://t.co/6y54VAZrG4

A good chunk of the 10,000 jobs (predicted in NE 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 according to @GBEgovuk) could be supported by @AcornProject_UK But, as always, PACE is very much if the essence! https://t.co/koWBnM97ID

🚨Tonight, there will be a vote on the Family Farm and Family Business Taxes. Labour MPs have the chance to stand up for our farmers and family businesses and vote AGAINST this tax. If you are from a Labour constituency, please contact your MP urgently with your concerns and

The Chancellor was told, SO MANY TIMES that keeping the Energy Profits Levy would cost jobs. But of course, she knew better. There will be more to come.

Great intervention from @HarrietCross_MP Minister's response not as clever as he thinks. @UKLabour INCREASED duration (and rate) of #windfalltax #EPL As for the low price trigger? That would be the #EnergySecurity Investment Mechanism introduced by previous @Conservatives Govt!

“Scott Barr, UK business unit managing director of @Harbourenergy, laid blame for the reduction firmly at the door of UK fiscal policy after Chancellor @RachelReevesMP refused to reform the North Sea energy profits levy (#EPL) in last week’s budget.” #oilandgas #windfalltax

Yes, #UKCS is a mature, declining basin but warnings that #northsea #naturalgas production is, “plummeting much faster than expected”, is due to @UKLabour ideological POLICY against 🇬🇧 #oilandgas production, not GEOLOGY! 👇

I’m actually more concerned that organisations like @FoEScot have WELCOMED announcements made yesterday with regards to #oilandgas

This latest front page of @pressjournal is NOT overstating the matter. The fact that organisations like @FoEScot are ‘happy’, should be a red flag.

Watch this. Gas is no longer the problem. Ed Miliband is the problem.
