Trump - the king of fake news and hypocrite extraordinaire - has the gall to welcome someone else’s resignation… we’re talking about a man convicted of rape and of tax fraud - who did not resign and never would. Incredible. And btw, I resent his interference in our media and our country.

Our airlines are subsidy junkies - £20 billion a year in tax free gifts from the public, which drives the price of flying to ridiculously low levels - they may make an average $10 per customer, but average figures can be very misleading - they make massive annual profits. buff.ly/F5X9Zej

The headline to this one is - Daily Mail owner seeks to dodge tax. It’s not really a shocking story, it’s not like we would expect anything better.

It can’t make any sense to tax electric car drivers for not burning fossil fuels while allowing people that fly to pay no tax for burning fossil fuels. The answer is simple, extend the charging per mile to the airline industry. Fair, climate effective and tax raising - all at the same time.

I was in Shoreditch earlier today at the Economic Consumer Conference, it was informative and inspiring, lovely audience, great questions....what more could you want...:)

So this year will be the third hottest year on records - stretching back 176 years…big deal - but the first and second hottest years in that 176 year period are last year and the one before. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

It's what the silent majority want...

Rachel Reeves announced she had a plan to deal with the rich people that might try to leave the country. You don't need that unless you're having a wealth tax.

Has Piers Morgan been abducted by aliens and returned all Woke…? Here he is - in tune with the public on net zero (we want it but worry about the speed and cost). His new book is titled Woke is Dead - I say it’s not Piers, it lives on in you…:). And that’s a compliment.

Something that is never factored into the published cost of nuclear energy, a near century long clean up. We pay for this. Current bill, £120 billion and climbing. Sizewell C will be just more of the same. Expensive power and a toxic legacy for thousands of years. buff.ly/fvUNHbs

Love this story, billionaire, tax exile, petrolhead kills more people than he employs, is how it reads to me. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Big, bold promises are easy in opposition, not so easy to deliver - Farage is finding this out now. £90 billion of tax cuts have just gone up in smoke - that’s a massive number and shows how massively out of touch with reality - Reform actually are.

New Yorkers rejected the Billionaire Bros in this race - both Trump and Musk weighed in with their views. They also rejected the racist slurs and Muslim tropes. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Good idea from Rachel Reeves…why not, energy is not a luxury. We need to make VAT more progressive actually. We have an official definition of energy poverty. In contrast there is no such thing as flying poverty - because it is a luxury. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

From vegan sea gulls to stunning football, the exit tax that gives a budget clue, poisonous tap water and privatisation - what did it ever do for us? Musk rants nonsense on hobbits and immigration…and Reform (bless them) bumping into reality. This week's podcast live now: linktr.ee/zerocarbonista

The Green Gold Rush is happening in the most unlikely place right now - Trump’s America. While Trump is busy ending tax credits and generally making green energy projects harder to build - he seems to have caused an actual boom in activity. buff.ly/l7FD2Hf

Reform were elected barely six months ago and promised to cut costs and cut taxes. They’ve failed to do either and now, one by one, the council’s they run are planning tax increases. Half a dozen have already announced the maximum allowable 5%. buff.ly/cbwu0vy

Tax breaks have worked well for O’Leary and Ryanair - you can see why he would recommend them for the whole economy - but someone has to pay for them. The lack of VAT and fuel duty gifts nearly £20B a year from other tax payers to Britain’s airline industry. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

The perfect answer to the question - what if people with money leave to avoid tax - tax them on the way out. More importantly - does this mean some kind of wealth tax is coming in the budget - I mean you don’t need an exit tax if you don’t have a wealth tax….do you? buff.ly/kYo7BAo

We’ve been calling for better price control on the Network Operators - for years now. Their public accounts show vast levels of profit, at 40% it’s the highest in our entire economy, higher than banks and venture capitalists…... publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm5901/cm...

The green industrial revolution is the economic opportunity of the century. If you want to make money and create jobs, the green economy is where it’s at. Ed gets it.

Farage had the opportunity to do the right thing, the kind of thing responsible leaders might do….but instead he insisted it was all fine. Ugly language he said - too true that. With an ugly sentiment behind it. Racism. You know what makes me mad Nige, all them white faces in Reform pics..:)

Lucy Powell is Labour’s new Deputy Leader and I think that’s a good thing. I don't buy the right wing narrative that this represents some kind of party split - they might want to think that - but it’s a bit desperate…..:) @lucympowell.bsky.social

Warning. Viewer discretion is advised. Bacon is back in the news - for being poisonous. Who knew? - literally the WHO knew. They list Bacon alongside Tobacco as a grade one Carcinogen……it doesn't even have a health warning on packets.

Refugee Action lobbying no 10 to be better. Our GigaPoll shows the majority of Brits are not anti immigration they just want it under control. Refugees get caught up in the general immigration rhetoric and their need for a refuge gets overlooked. gigapoll.co.uk www.refugee-action.org.uk/what-we-do/

It's great to be able to help people, the feedback so far has been awesome, truly worthwhile, all clubs should do this. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

The people of Wales chose hope over hate and Reform got rejected. Britain is a nation of people at ease with itself - all races and religions, our Giga Poll showed that. There’s a lesson for Labour here…we don’t have to be Reform to beat Reform. The public wants better.

Caption competition time….. Mine - ‘Boris Johnson after drying his hair with a lavatory hand dryer….:)’.....What’s yours? But more seriously, he makes a good point - trying to out Farage Farage is a mugs game...:) buff.ly/ZPjHCPn

This is Casino Capitalism in action. The cost of fossil fuels is not linked to the cost of producing them - it’s a roller coaster of speculation, fear and market manipulation. We pay the price while companies like Shell always win and win big. buff.ly/Q12hhC7

Tony Blair has form, we invaded Iraq on his false claims - let’s not abandon green energy coz he says anything about it at all.

This is the reality, these are the facts, green energy brings bills down. Farage, Badenoch and now Blair - stop (fossil fuel) gaslighting us for your own gain. Green energy is a vital national interest. buff.ly/XSp4GdA

Good plan. It’s a very socialist move, (and) recognises the failure of the market based approach in energy..:) buff.ly/cmseyTH

Why is Blair saying things that are clearly counterfactual? Until we break the link, green energy can't do its job.

It’s not about being a donor - I'm a campaigner and environmentalist first… my views are based on caring what happens in our country. I want to see social justice; a wealth tax and an end to the two child benefit cap and lower energy bills - and I want us to beat Reform without becoming Reform.

Best Manager we ever had, IMO.

Fab study, delivers truth to the lies of the right wing. Its fossil fuels driving bills up and green drives them down, you paying attention Tony, Nigel, Kemi.....? buff.ly/uvJ952M

Been saying this for years, Bacon and Tobacco are both class one carcinogens - but one is kept behind roller shutters, in unbranded packets covered in hideous pictures of diseased organs - the other sits in supermarket fridges, presented as food - safe you would assume to eat. buff.ly/AOF6Okf

New study shows the meat and dairy industry rivals the fossil fuel industry for planet killing methane emissions - our diet is driving the climate crisis but when it comes to action - it’s the Cow in the Room. buff.ly/G4ZMlV5

California’s just done something historic – they’ve banned ultra-processed food from school meals. Or they will have in ten years time. It’s a great initiative but could have been delivered in six months - we know what UPF is all we have to do is take it off the menu…. buff.ly/DGcqkdc.

Oil and Gas Lobby tells Farage his anti green energy drive is a mistake. Love it. www.desmog.com/2025/09/30/o...

FGR 2-1 Boreham Wood....:)

Match Day at The New Lawn....:)

Tony Blair and the false counter narrative we need to defeat. High energy bills are caused by fossil fuels - solved by green energy. Farage, Badenoch and Blair all have it wrong.

Congratulations to Lucy Powell. Labour’s new Deputy Leader. Lucy will be a strong independent voice at the heart of this Labour Government. Looking forward to what comes next.

Fossil fuels are the new dodgy dossier. www.lbc.co.uk/article/foss...

In your dreams Nige. The public voted for hope not hate, they see you.

@greenpartyzack is right about Farage - he’s in this for himself, power at all costs. He’s the bloke more than any other that brought us Brexit and all the lies that came with - we’re still counting that cost now. His next trick is Nexit…..our exit from Net Zero.
