There will be no UK ETS after CBAM the ETS will be the same as CBAM rates, if UK energy had a different carbon tax then they would have to pay tariffs on exports to EU

The best thing today with the Ricky Jones verdict is the sheer hypocrisy of the left wing accounts on here. The very same accounts claiming that Lucy Connolly deserved her sentence are now defending him. Not one has came out saying he should have been jailed for what he said

Please share far and wide. It's important the public understand the truth about what renewables are really costing them.
💰The Cost of Renewables Megathread💰 The popular narrative in UK politics, and subsequently social media, is that renewables are cheap and drive bills down while gas is the problem driving prices up. This is propaganda designed to make you buy in.

In the UK, the Labour Party has said it will block any further use of North Sea oil and gas. So let's run the numbers and see what difference that will make to the temperature. independent.co.uk/news/uk/ri…

Who cares how many days you work as long as the hours are done,many companies for years have done it. The problem comes when you try and reduce hours worked by 20% as Labour proposed, how do you staff the likes of the NHS on same money with 20% less hours worked?

Doesn’t matter if you are a Boris fan or not IF this (yet another) party went ahead and IF he was in attendance then his time is up, it would be yet another sign of the complete contempt that the political elite have for the serfs

Took my daughter to the pantomime tonight in Glasgow, Christmas week and every bar and restaurant we walked past was empty. Feel sorry for all the business owners who were relying on Christmas to bail them out of financial difficulty, can see a lot going to the wall
