Love to see that link. Denmark is 80% renewable as they made a serious attempt to stop being reliable on fossil fuels after the Suez crisis. We’re about 43% reliant on renewables so are infinitely harder hit. I suspect that if Denmark has been hit hardest in the EU they’re undoubtedly still...

Spain has halved VAT on energy bills and used an extraordinary profit tax from energy companies to cap prices to consumers. We’ve got an over 10% NI rise, a loan of our own money, no cut to VAT on energy bills and continued tax cuts to energy companies while they’re paying record dividends...

And they’ve cut taxes to working people not raised them as a result. They’re also in the scheme that your boyfriend unnecessarily pulled out off because brexit means brexit so they still buy gas better than us and thus are facing a lower escalation than we are. I suspect if you are half as...

Then there’s also this that got lost in the partygate noise. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/eu-regional-deveopment-funds-cut-brexit-levelling-up-b2004944.html?amp Significant for a few reasons. Firstly it was a 2019 GE pledge by the Tories to at minimum match this EU funding so...

Levelling up clearly means stitching up the plebs. Basically the general public are now subsidising the profits of banks and lining the pockets of their shareholders.

The excellent Dan Hodges

I was speaking to one I know today and he claimed that on the NHS website it says that the vaccine doesn’t work after six weeks. Turns out he thinks the word efficacy means stop working. Tried explaining that it means the point that the vaccine becomes effective, even tried to show the...

It’s all going swimmingly. That will show them remoaners

Actually, you might be right. It was so long ago.

I think you’ve got to look at when Maggie was ousted. Kinnock was smashing her in the polls, they got rid, Major come in with some new manager bounce and a good election campaign smashed Kinnock in the next GE defying the odds and the opinion polls in the most unlikely of victories. I suspect...

I think that’s possibly the most likely scenario. I just think any assumption that he’d win a vote of no confidence is misplaced. Regardless of whether that’s next week or after the May local elections. I think that once the opportunity is there he’s fucked. When the Spartans, ERG, CRG or...

That’s a massive gamble for the Conservatives. Vote to save him and he’s safe for another 12 months, another 12 months of sleaze and lies, another 12 months of Dominic Cummings releasing small cut after small cut, another 12 months of decreasing trust in a Tory government under Boris’ control...

Apparently another letter of no confidence going in at 5pm specifically on the point of the Jimmy Savile slur. A lie too far.

Yeah but Fullfact is probably run by a bunch of socialists lesbian libtard metropolitan liberal elite types so take that with a pinch of salt. Checks notes. Nope. Set up and run by Tories in the Blair/Brown years to hold a labour government to account. Everyone is gunning for Boris.

Full version is even funnier

Been tuning in and out of LBC all day and the thing I was struck by was the number of callers who consider themselves traditional Tories having voted Tory for decades (some even party members) saying that they’re essentially Tories without a party and most of them also saying that they didn’t...

He only broke them in a limited and specific way though so… Plus no one told him that it was against the rules to be truthful so… Plus it didn’t really impact anyone so…

So are you suggesting that everyone who has been fined for breaking lockdown rules should be compensated? You should also try saying that to someone who has loved ones that died during lockdown regardless of what and then obeyed the rules. You’re actually a bit of c**t for even contemplating...

I’ll be honest. I don’t believe he was as ill as was made out and I don’t believe that he was the illest person in ICU or even the illest person on any Covid ward in that hospital. He was in ICU because of who he was not because of ill he was. Either way and whatever you believe he learned the...
