Several times I've replied to Starmer tweets complaining about him talking about "my government" rather than "His Majesty's Government". This isn't pedantry. The fact that the government is "His Majesty's Government" makes clear to everyone that the government's role is one of

We give foreign aid to countries with nuclear weapons and space programs by the way.

@_HenryBolton There's one main issue: it was the media and Boris's own MPs that hounded him out of No.10. Starmer leads over the most unpopular, stand-for-nothing group of politicians this country has ever seen. They know that his resignation would be the beginning of the end for them and

NEW: Hinkley Point C will be the most expensive nuclear power station ever built. More than £700m will be spent on 'fish protection measures' due to inflexible envrionmental rules. The Nuclear Regulatory Taskforce, last year, put forward a plan to change those regulations to cut

This is the Laffer Curve in real life. Rachel Reeves hiked Capital Gains Tax, and CGT receipts fell by £1.4 billion. Higher tax. Less revenue. Investors aren't stupid. When taxes get too high, people change their behaviour: they delay sales, move money, or leave the country.

Because of the Falklands, South Georgia and the British Antarctic Territories, the United Kingdom is responsible for 25% of the world's penguins. This is evident in their behaviour.

In a Sunday Times analysis of the predictions of 26 major economic forecasters of the UK, the Office for Budget Responsibility came joint last with a rating of 1 out of 10. That’s right. Joint last. Yet it’s on OBR forecasts that UK Budgets are constructed. And Chancellor Reeves

From April 1, listed places of worship will have to bear the full cost of VAT on repairs. This brings to an end a system that has operated successfully for 20+ years. Local people will have to raise money not just to repair roofs and towers but to pay a 20% tax to the Government.

Things aren't much better in the rest of England, where housing starts & completions have more or less stalled. Despite a slight bounce in 2024, new starts remain stuck as low as during the pandemic dip, and almost as low as the post-2008 dip.

You’ve just agreed to pay almost twice the current cost of gas power for that wind energy. Until 2045. And that’s before we accountant for expensive new transmission, backup and storage necessitated by reliance on that offshore wind power.

The Telegraph: 'About 180 of the UK’s 280 fields are set to close by 2030 and the offshore sector is losing 1,000 jobs a month. In the last 12 months, Britain spent £20.6bn buying oil and gas from Norway. It means the UK’s reliance on imports is growing fast. Government

Dear Labour You literally don’t understand why construction companies aren’t building masses of houses! And why they won’t do what you tell them. Let me help you. ▪️There aren’t enough builders, bricks, or cement. Businesses forecast years in advance for developments. They
