Reaching net zero by 2050 β€˜cheaper for UK than one fossil fuel crisis’ Climate change committee finds move to renewable energy would also bring health, economic and security benefits

What Nigel Farage and Reform UK ignore about net zero ⬇️

🚨 Reaching the UK’s net zero target by 2050 will cost less than a single oil shock.

πŸ’° And it will bring health, economic and security benefits.

The HoL is bloated, even after the Heriditaries go. We should sack the lot and then get them to reapply for their jobs, submitting CVs explaining exactly what they have done to benefit the country and the people.

CVs to be assessed by a panel of lay people with expert support.

Reform Ltd is offering financial inducements in the form of cheap fuel (which is actually not cheap).
Interestingly, this is a tactic the Taliban uses, but it’s against the rules here.
Presumably the Electoral Commission has noticed? @uklabourparty.bsky.social

Farage standing in front of petrol forecourt sign 
25P OFF
WITH FARAGE 
REFORM UK 


All this fawning over Donald Trump - where has it got Nigel Farage?

Farage standing in front of petrol forecourt sign 25P OFF WITH FARAGE REFORM UK All this fawning over Donald Trump - where has it got Nigel Farage?

Today, he is back in the rainy old UK, standing on a petrol forecourt in his faux-toff outfit, whingeing about Rachel Reeves putting fuel duty up by a few pennies - a tax that has been frozen since 2011. Besides, his mate Donald has done more in the past week to put up the price of petrol, with his continued bombing of Iran, than the chancellor.
Tell that to White Van Man, Nigel.

β€œFarage… helped fool everyone about Brexit - which he wants to renegotiate, naturally. Surely the British people can't take this absurd man seriously again? After all, even Trump doesn't.”

Beyond time to boot Farage and his stale band of Tories off the stage.

The Labour government has delivered this in the last 6-12 months. Their actions speak louder than your words.

Most Reform members believe non-white UK citizens born abroad should be forced or encouraged to leave, poll finds Nigel Farage’s attempts to appeal to centre-ground voters may cause tension in his party, according to Hope Not Hate

This party is considered credible opposition.

Farage labelled 'sore loser' as he announces plans to restrict who can vote in elections Nigel Farage has announced plans for new rules restricting who can vote in UK elections, in the wake of Reform's by-election defeat.

After their Gorton and Denton defeat, Reform have announced plans to massively restrict postal voting and only allow British citizens to vote.

Changes to energy price cap between 1 April and 30 June 2026 Changes to the maximum amount energy suppliers can charge people on default tariffs for each unit of energy and the daily standing charge from 1 April to 30 June 2026.

Fortunately, Ofgem set the price cap last week and so energy prices are now fixed until the end of June www.ofgem.gov.uk/news/changes...
