A giant gas field has been discovered under Lincolnshire that could fuel the UK’s entire needs for a decade, reducing dependence on imports and generating tens of thousands of jobs. But Labour would prefer our impoverishment. Net zero madness..

@lukejcr Inflation is still way higher than when you took over. Shame about soaring unemployment, lack of investment, increasing exodus from the UK, destruction of family farms, damage to pensions and punishing the elderly. The most unpopular Government in British history. Appalling..

@daniellismore Popularity and the right politics does have benefits, you’re right. That’s why @reformparty_uk is also soaring in the polls..

@sikorskiradek @elonmusk The fact that you continue to defend indefensible is appalling. Why not just make it democratic, starting with the unelected EU Commission and its President?

This is absolutely true from @elonmusk The European Union is fundamentally undemocratic, and is run by power hungry unelected bureaucrats with zero accountability.
The European Union is not DEMOcracy – rule of the people – but rather BUREAUcracy – rule of the unelected bureaucrat!

@GunterFehlinger @KingCharlesUK Well Gunther, that’s what happens when you have a monarchy. And while King Charles is the head of the country, we are governed from Westminster, where MPs who are elected sit. Not quite the same as the EU though eh? Which citizens voted for Ursula? Who did she run against?

@GunterFehlinger @KingCharlesUK The UK is a constitutional monarchy, where the King serves as a symbolic head of state without political power. Elected officials in Parliament exercise sovereign authority, maintaining the UK's status as a representative democracy. This is fairly basic stuff you should know.

77 million Americans voted for Donald Trump for US president in 2024. Zero Europeans voted for @vonderleyen to be President of the European Commission. And yet the EU lectures the US about democracy and fines US entrepreneurs such as @elonmusk in order to suppress free speech.
@elonmusk The EU is run by three bodies: 1) European Council - democratically elected heads of governments of member states 2) Democratically elected European Parliament 3) European Commission, composed of commissioners appointed by democratic governments and confirmed by parliament

@lukejcr Ridiculous sellouts. https://t.co/7OZL8s1CB9
From 2014 until we left 92,400 Brits used the scheme to study abroad at inferior colleges. Over the same period 172,000 EU students came here to study at some of the best Unis in the world. And we are paying them £570m a year??! They should be paying us.

@lukejcr Parody account? Rising unemployment, anti business agenda, deterring investment, burdening employers with regulation, rising costs, stifling growth, and undermining confidence, leaving firms hiring less, cutting jobs, and weakening the economy nationwide for working families..
