The government is making the UK look ridiculous with the debate over whether President Trump is allowed to speak to Parliament or not. Did they really plan a date one day after Parliament goes back into recess, to dodge a speech? Do they really think Labour MPs are so badly behaved they would turn up and heckle, or would be absent, running a juvenile protest against the elected choice of an ally’s electorate?
There are several things to do to put this right.
1 Ask the US President if he would like to speak to Parliament
2. If No, no further action.
3 If Yes book Westminster Hall or Royal Gallery for chosen date.
4. Invite MPs and peers, make it by ticket only. No need to recall Parliament. If enough want to come, job done.
5. If too many Lib/Lab/Green MPs and peers do not want to attend, place unused tickets with vetted applicants from senior civil servants and Parliamentary staff who have passes and clearance to be in the building.

The children in Westminster cannot be trusted to behave themselves in front of our main ally. Trump is governing for the American people as he was elected to do. Our uniparty is governing for the WEF and other unelected organisations.
Trump in his inimical way may very well tell them some home truths regarding defence and immigration. Our elected representatives would probably gave an attack of the vapours being confronted with the truth.
Off topic but very topical, yesterday we had the tv reporters breathlessly telling us about the Met Offuces latest scare report about climate change. Along comes Milibrain then assuring us that sea levels are rising dramatically around the UK. This phenomenon doesn’t appear to be affecting mainland Europe or Ireland so on my next cruise I must look out for the step in sea level the English Channel which will substantiate what he says.
Photos of Nab Tower and various light houses and the statue of Liberty from 109 years ago show remarkably similar high and low water marks to today.
Methinks someone is lying.

Not least in the MET Office:
“The UK Met Office recently declared an average daily maximum temperature of 22.3°C for June 2025 at Lowestoft: Monkton Avenue. But there is no weather station at Lowestoft and hasn’t been since 2010.”

July 15, 2025
Indeed evil and endless propaganda and duff predictions from the Met office are endlessly repeated by the dire BBC. Comparing temperatures at say Heathrow when it was a grass landing strip with now tells us rather little about any warming due to any increases due to manmade CO2.

It made me laugh that anyone can think that the sea is rising around the UK but not elsewhere. I live on the West Coast, and the land has been advancing for hundreds of years. There are castles in Wales that were built on the coast that are now miles inland.
Miliband also said that future generations won’t thank us if we don’t tackle climate change. I’m sure they won’t thank us for trashing the economy and turning the UK into a third-world country, which he is doing. The man is an idiot and needs to be removed from power.

Indeed, If the sea levels were rising would it not be obvious at the beaches where sand is still visible and measurable at high tide, and at the slipways in harbours.
Fully aware that we have tidal surges, so high tides are not at a constant level every day, but surely it is not beyond the simple knowledge of man to measure sea levels as such from a pier or harbour wall.
Yes you will always have exceptions due to weather conditions, the 1953 east coast tidal surge and build up being a prime example.
Have the Florida Key Islands got smaller in the last 50 years ? surely that would be noticeable to millions who go there given the highest point is only 16ft above sea level.

That does not mean that he should be permitted the immense honour of addressing our Parliament. A man who has expressed admiration for Vladimir Putin and has let down Ukraine should be nowhere near our fountain of freedom
July 15, 2025
Parliament has been ineffectual as a chamber representing the best interests of the populace for a good many years.
Issue after issue (hat tip to Lifelogic for the full list) of deep or grave concern to the voters/citizens of the UK has been sidestepped by the AWOL parliamentarians.
Thank goodness for the perceptive, courageous and outspoken independent individuals who are doing such a good job of keeping the issues alive and in the open, shaming Parliament and the increasingly irrelevant ‘mainstream media’.
Tousi TV is possibly going to have to close down or leave the country because of deliberate pressures (as well as threats to Tousi’s family), does this matter, or is ‘free speech’ just a historical/rhetorical phrase?

I expect Two-Tier is extremely concerned about non-attendance or disrespectful behaviour by the Student Union Marxists on the Labour benches – and he has a track record of ducking potentially awkward and embarrassing situations.
We, as a nation, should be outraged that “our” MPs cannot be trusted to behave respectfully towards the democratically elected President of our main ally. He won the Electoral College AND the popular vote, unlike Labour which “won” 411 Constituencies based on 33% of the vote and only 20% of the whole electorate since 40% didn’t bother to participate in the sham democracy we have in the UK. (And that’s before we get onto the percentage of the 33% who did vote Labour, who form part of the well-known postal-voting phenomenon called the Muslim Block Vote. Without that, it’s safe to assume that they would have considerably fewer MPs.)
Two-Tier isn’t sensible enough to do what you propose, Sir John. And I suspect that a large number of Senior Civil Servants couldn’t be trusted to attend, and behave appropriately, either.
Meanwhile, Lammy has just dug the black hole even bigger by giving £70 million of taxpayers money to that poverty-stricken nation, Singapore, towards the Net Zero SCAM. Singapore contributes just 0.15% of global carbon emissions (even less than our 1%) ….. so it’s obviously vital that it is reduced with OUR money.
July 15, 2025
Per capita the richest country in earth. And we are giving it aid. Why don’t we just slap it across the face with a wet fish?

@Donna. Please stop! I almost choked on my breakfast when I saw your comment on £70m to Singapore.
I’ve just looked it up and am flabbergasted that Labour can take our money and give it to Singapore. They are one of the top 5 wealthiest countries per capita in the world, we are ranked at about 30th. Why would we “invest” in green energy transitioning in Singapore, which contributes about 0.1% of man-made CO2, when we contribute about 10 times more of the gas?
This shows us that our politicians rob us, and they’re also fools and/or corrupt.
July 15, 2025
Donna:
Agreed.
You are correct to say : “And I suspect that a large number of Senior Civil Servants couldn’t be trusted to attend, and behave appropriately, either.” A majority of Civil Servants, particularly at the top, are even further to the left than the Labour Party. If a party to the right, such as Reform, ever get elected they will need to sack many civil servants to be able to govern. For instance, how could they expect to have a functional Home Office defending our borders and stopping the invasion of unidentified illegal migrants when these departments have for years been actively pursuing a policy of encouragement with free accomodation in 4 star hotels (now also houses), free health care, free mobile phones, £40/week pocket money, free clothing, free entertainment, free travel, free legal fees and the freedom to roam our streets (even outside schools) and take black market jobs undercutting our indigenous population? And why do we offer so much when the French do not despite also being members of the ECHR?

Two Tier is Probably worried Trump will say he puts America first because that’s what the voters wanted, they also wanted immigration controlled, Nato to pay their full whack, Trade deals to be made more equal, government costs slashed/lowered, Energy costs lowered, net Zero scrapped, manufacturing bough back in house, the comparison with our Prime Minister is Stark indeed. !!

Sir John
Emmanuel Macron is in the same club as our 2 Tier Kier Starmer a dictator suppressing his people, fighting the people. Donald Trump is POTUS where sovereignty, democracy and free-speech is defended, regardless of personal, very personal belief sets.
The UK Parliament is majority controlled by a single one party the Uniparty, that don’t like freedoms of any description, they haven’t got the dignity or even the politeness to be open to alternative opinions, they are dedicated to suppressing them. To them the USA is a threat it shows that individuals, those not part of the Socialist WEF collective can and do thrive without having a Politburo dictating how you think.

Whilst I would regard anything that supports the transition from ICE to EV’s here, many would prefer Milibands’ £3750 support for buying one be spent instead on more charging points. Or repairing the 20% of them which are defective on any one day.
Sunak’s administration scrapped their subsidy for buying an EV because the dealers kept most of it.
July 15, 2025
SG
Why should anyone get a taxpayer subsidy for buying any sort of car ?
I see nothing is going to be done to modify the taxpayer funded Motorbility scheme scam, under which 20% of all new cars are purchased.
Once again more complication at the taxpayers expense.
July 15, 2025
To rig the market and coerce people into the wrong types vehicles less suitable for them with tax payer bribes. Tax them an extra £billion and hand £650k back as EV bribes the rest doubtless wasted on admin. of collection and distribution.

Government should mandate that EVs are fitted with automatic fire suppressant devices as standard prior to being supplied. I realise this may be challenging as only total submergence is effective in extinguishing such fires.
With regards to Millibands speech in Parliament yesterday, the Hansard record is more revealing than media ‘soundbites’; I commend it to all with more than a passing interest. It surely cannot be the best we can expect for the nation.
July 15, 2025
The problem is it is very hard to suppress a fire in a car battery. This as all the fuel for the fire is in the battery. So excluding the Oxygen does not really help much it keeps going until the fuel runs out.
July 15, 2025
Would you describe an effective fire suppressant to deal with an EV fire?
July 16, 2025
The OP indicated it – you submerge the battery in water to cool it and starve of oxygen.
July 16, 2025
So it would need to be another very large water filled radiator, heavy and complex.
July 16, 2025
@MT so it would seem – but no larger than a car so a flat bed lorry and not very complex – just a water tank.
Alternatively you use solid state batteries and don’t have the fire risk.
July 15, 2025
EV fires need a different approach to ICE fires but according to Thatcham Research covering 2018-20, cited by Arup, 0.001% of plug in hybrids and 0.003% of (extended) EVs were the subject of fire claims. This compares to the 0.007% of petrol and 0.011% of diesel vehicles – so ICE vehicles appear 2-4 times proportionately more likely to be involved in a fire.
So why wouldn’t you advocate the same for all vehicles – ICE as well as EV ?
July 15, 2025
Battery electric car demand rose 39.1% to 47,354 units in June 2025. New petrol registrations declined -4.2% and diesel volumes were flat (+0.2%), meaning their combined share of the market is now just over half (51.6%), with total EV registrations (92,571) achieving a 48.5% market share (Source; SMMT)
A lack of government purchase and charging incentives, combined with fiscal disincentives such as the newly applied VED Expensive Car Supplement (ECS) – which is estimated to impose an effective fine of more than £360 million on BEVs bought from April in this year alone – are acting as a brake on BEV demand. The EV industry has reaffirmed this, citing fiscal incentives for private BEV sales as the biggest single action needed to boost BEV demand, economic growth and the UK’s automotive manufacturing base – a key objective of government’s new industrial strategy.
Amending the ECS to remove the majority of BEVs from its scope and cutting VAT on new BEVs and especially public charging would boost demand significantly. This would also help deliver a vibrant domestic market, allowing the UK to become a leader not just in decarbonisation, but in affordability especially as cheap Chinese EV’s are now starting to appear
Reply Battery car sales below 25% against target of 28% despite big subsidies and plugs. Mainly fleetv and Motability purchases. Individuals still strongly in favour of petrol or hybrid.
July 15, 2025
Indeed government to spend/waste £650 million of tax payers money to bribe people into buying premature EV technology that is less convenient for them, cost more, depreciated more rapidly, weight more so more tyre wear, cost more to insure, take hours to refill, hard to recycle and causes far more CO2 emissions than keeping your old car!
So I am force to subsidise other people’s EV cars, education, trains, buses, energy… government rigged & damaged markets everywhere you care to look.
July 15, 2025
LL :
Please also add that they’re dangerous. EV fires cannot be extinguished and they emit toxic fumes. Inevitably there will be a large loss of life and infrastructure damage when an ev catches fire in a tunnel (Dartford?), a bridge or an underground car park or ferry.
July 15, 2025
Indeed – EV scooters already banned on tubes and trains. What about all those bike, scooters, disabled buggies charging in high rise flats?
July 15, 2025
Some government Miliband propaganda on his £650m market rigging debunked:-
new £650 million grant will slash electric car prices, saving UK households up to £3,750 when they upgrade or switch to electric
(we all pay higher taxes to bribe other people to buy inferior, more expensive and shorter lived vehicles)
car manufacturers to apply through the Electric Car Grant – speeding up access and cutting costs for drivers and businesses
(Overall it increases costs in taxes for drivers and businesses more taxes and some of these come back for some people less admin costs to buy less practical cars)
comes as more than 380,000 zero emission cars were registered last year, delivering the government’s Plan for Change to kickstart economic growth and put more money in working people’s pockets
(Zero Emission vehicles do not exist they are emissions (mainly) elsewhere vehicles (tyre particulates higher and are at the vehicle rest at power stations or in manufacture). Over all emissions including manufacture of EV and CO2 generally higher on an EV over its life!)
July 15, 2025
To reply:- individuals also sensible favour just keeping their old cars going which is also a sensible option despite the governments attempts to tax and force them off the road.
July 15, 2025
My son currently has a hybrid BMW company car. When it’s replaced he has no choice but to switch to fully electric. He doesn’t have a charger at his home so he has the choice of paying a premium to hang around and charge it in a local car park … and having to get there and back, adding to the congestion on the local roads.
OR, he can drive 30 miles to the Office and back (unnecessarily, since he’s based at home) and charge it for free there. He’ll be doing that … unnecessarily adding to the congestion on the M25 between J10 and J15 several times a week. And that, in turn, is going to lower his productivity since he’s a regional territory manager for a major international company and his territory is nowhere near J15 of the M4.
The whole thing is an economy-wrecking nonsense.
July 15, 2025
So these company EVs come with ‘free fuel’ too. Wow!
July 16, 2025

I suppose that is nothing to do with Manufacturers no longer shipping as many ICE vehicles SG?
My favourite brand stopped making their only pure ICE vehicles earlier this year and whilst they are still available – you have to take what’s left in dealers stock. Fortunately, my lovely girl is low mileage and will hopefully last me a long time to come.
PS I’m still driving for “free” on the £10K I saved by not buying the equivalent EV. That’s going to pay for a lot of petrol ! 🙂
July 15, 2025

Correct. It is because the ice from the last ice age, which ended about 11,000 years ago, and which was weighing down the north of GB (Scotland) has melted. As a consequence Scotland is rising and the south of England is falling. This is still happening today and why for many northern latitude countries the sea level is actually falling not rising!

12 criminals were smuggled, in plain sight, into the UK yesterday on the 14th July from France…
July 15, 2025
gc:
They’re not “smuggled” but willingly collected by our Border Force vessels in mid Channel. It has been suggested that refusing to take these illegal migrants in mid Channel or towing them back to France is not an option. However, it is quite clear that the French navy, who accompany the illegal migrant boats to mid Channel (giving them lifejackets and collecting these back at hand-over) have contacted our Border Force well in advance to come and collect just as the boats are leaving French shores. What would happen if we simply refused at that point to send our Border Force boat to collect these illegal migrants? Would the French navy just abandon them in mid Channel or immediately escort them back to France to keep them safe from drowing? I would suggest that the current high numbers are because we are willingly collecting the migrants in mid Channel at the express orders of the French navy. We should instead leave them safe in the capable hands of the French navy.

“Did they really plan a date one day after Parliament goes back into recess, to dodge a speech?”
I had the same thought when I heard the excuse. Yes, they evidently did. An utter disgrace.
