Some of you have asked about this Bill. It is a private members Bill which is unlikely to pass unless the government backed it. There is no indication they are about to.
It is a Bill with huge financial, economic and social consequences. It instructs government to speed up the UK ās already rapid rundown of CO 2. It aims to make that much more difficult to do by requiring the UK to reduce not Ā just the CO 2 generated in the UK but also all the CO 2 produced abroad making and transporting imports into the UK.
I have been very critical of UK net zero policies which are based on shutting down UK oil, gas and industrial production to stop UK CO 2 generation, only to import products and energy from abroad ignoring the CO 2 produced there. It is absurd self harm resulting Ā in more world CO 2.
This Bill is even more harm, as the UK would have to make major cuts in consumption of energy and goods to comply. It would be a major hit to living standards. It is difficult to see how the UK could comply. Buying more Chinese battery cars would not help as plenty of CO 2 is spilled in their making, whilst we would need more Ā gas power stations when the wind is not blowing to recharge the cars.
The Bill also says it will end the nature crisis, the alleged run down of wild animals and plants. Wilding large extra areas of our country would force us to import more food with more CO 2 in its production and transport. There is no mention of the need to end migration of people to curb the erosion of nature by overdevelopment.
This so called CAN bill should be canned.
January 21, 2025
Good morning.
Irrespective of the aforementioned chances of this Bill being law one has to ask, “How is it that someone has reached a position in this country whereby such a thing could happen ?”
I seem to remember that our current Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero was the one that pretty much kicked all this off with his Climate Change Act. So indeed, such things can happen.
Today we have a US President that will not be swayed by such nonsense as we have seen, and a Europe hell bent on self destruction. The gulf between old and new worlds has never looked wider and the gap seems only to be growing.
January 21, 2025
It is astonishing there are MPs who think the measures contained in this Bill are a good idea. No wonder this country is in a mess.
January 21, 2025
@David Andrews +1. I read that 192 MPs support the Bill. Could any of them stand before a public meeting of their constituents, explain what this Bill would do to our living standards and not get completely mauled and derided? That’s why they don’t do it.
It’s appalling that these MPs are referred to as “Honourable”. Apart from the Greens, who are dangerous and deluded but at least had the guts to stand for election with this proposal, the rest are an utter disgrace.
January 21, 2025
It is more astonishing that the number of MPs supporting the bill runs into the hundreds. Shows how the Westminster sheeple ‘think’. A mess indeed.
January 21, 2025
It will be telling who votes for it; will Milibrain? Free voting so it’ll be interesting who takes part.
January 21, 2025
I listened to Donald’s speech yesterday. He effectively shot down all the climate nonesense much to the chagrin of the BBC reporters. It is rumoured that many staff are on suicide watch after he had the temerity to put Americans first
And we have Caroline Lucus. It’s time to buy some popcorn whilst watching the entire climate scam crumble.
January 21, 2025
I see Thieves is going to give the go ahead for new runways at Heathrow, Gatwick and Luton.
She’s well aware that the next CCA 5 year plan is to close all regional airports so her ideas will be quashed with judicial review. There may be a chink of light coming from the darkness of Nut Zero as the full implications begin to emerge.
Full ahead Donald.
January 21, 2025
The Donald has just stopped āwork from homeā.
January 21, 2025
@David Andrews
But how many MP’s could you name that served their electorate and the Country, before personal ego and a higher power in foreign lands.
January 21, 2025
Why is there so much hate of Great Britain?
Until a few years ago we were world leaders in industry- but politics seem to favour China now! What mistake did we make
January 21, 2025
Which member has proposed it? Which party do they belong to? Can parties other than the governing party introduce bills?
The idea of accounting for CO2 produced by imported goods and services seems sensible – if you allow CO2 levels to be a driver of policy.
January 21, 2025
@Mike Wilson. The Conservative Woman website ran a piece on this yesterday. The embedded video gives some background about the sponsoring MP. It’s shocking that people with such shallow thinking can get elected, and really shows our democracy is in deep trouble.
January 21, 2025
Not really sensible as we know CO2 plant, tree and crop food is not even a significant problem indeed a net good on balance. Even a doubling of atmospheric CO2 would not cause any significant warming as the sensible Prof. William Happer and many others illustrate. So many other variables, the existing CO2 captures much of the relevant frequencies so more make little difference. It is not even the most significant so called āgreenhouseā gas water vapour is. There is no climate emergency and yet Theresa Mayās vastly expensive net zero bill was just nodded through and Edās climate change bill is only voted against by a tiny handful of MPs. So deluded are our mainly scientifically ignorant, group think MPs.
Trump has it right on Energy, Climate realism, EDI and all the woke lunacy. the economy, the net harm Covid Vaccines and their sick joke regulationā¦Alas Starmer has almost everything wrong, even more wrong than the Con-Socialist did for 14 years. Kemi is better than Sunak but is still largely wrong
January 21, 2025
Carbon accounting should be prohibited. It allows us to offset our carbon production t other countries and appear like a good global citizen when we are not.
Carbon is either bad or it is not, if it is bad then we shouldn’t be allowing others to produce it on our behalf.
The weather has always changed, an man has changes with it. There are now too mnay of us tgo change quickly enough.
January 21, 2025
It was previously proposed by the Greens under the name of the Climate and Ecology bill. Now reintroduced by LibDem MP Roz Savage in this parliament, and of course supported by all Berkahire and South Oxon LibDems including Clive Jones.
January 21, 2025
Have a guess which party. Correct – the LibDems. The bill also would set up a citizen’s assembly to set policy. You can guess which citizens would be involved. I suppose as they basically agree with all of Labour’s policies they can only provide “opposition” by complaining they don’t go far enough. I see Trump has withdrawn from the Paris climate accord so whatever UK does is entirely irrelevant other than to provide the rest of the world with a good laugh.
January 21, 2025
And the USA is out of the WHO!
January 21, 2025
Ros Savage a LibDim (Law Oxford) she sounds like an interesting but perhaps confused lass but not one I would really want to see in parliament making decisions for me.
In 2003, she became a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and took part in an Anglo-American expedition that discovered Inca ruins in the Andean cloudforests near Machu Picchu, Peru. She then spent an additional three months in Peru, travelling solo and researching her first book, Three Peaks in Peru.
January 21, 2025
It is a logical solution to the creative accounting of our current Net Zero policy of shipping CO2 emmissions elsewhere and importing finished goods.
Of course, the resulting pre-industrial, pre-agarian society would be incapable of supporting a welfare state or current population levels. Not a Garden of Eden unless Adam & Eve were cave dwellers. It’s back to being hunter-gathers I’m afriad. I’ll tell the wife to buy some old fur coats on eBay and start sharpening a few pointy sticks just in case!
January 21, 2025
But not hunter gatherers with fire at their disposal, as that would produce carbon dioxide.
January 21, 2025
I pray that while the Donald is slaying the very obvious dragons that plague life and progress in the USA, it may assist the demise of the bloodline that has drifted across the Atlantic and is very obviously infecting the culture and essential function of the UK.
The Reform Party and this diary should vigourously continue beating and putting up the dragons of the UK body politic for systematic lancing. I find it ironic that the UK, who sowed the seeds of democracy in the USA ,are about to recieve the return of it from a newly enlightened and motivated USA.
January 21, 2025
I emailed “my” MP, Edward Morello, LibDem, about this dangerous nonsense of a Bill. He hasn’t replied. But then since the LibDems are virtue-signalling Eco Extremists and the Bill is proposed by one of his colleagues, I expect he will support it.
There’s nothing either responsible or sensible about the LibDems.
January 21, 2025
@donna. I emailed mine too, another Lib Dem (I think the first non-Tory MP in living memory), Jess Brown-Fuller. No reply yet.
At the last election I tried to persuade my daughter not to vote for candidates supporting Net Zero. She is not “green”, takes 4 or 5 foreign breaks per year, and would happily do more if she could. I pointed out that most of the candidates would try to make flying more expensive or downright unaffordable. I believe I lost the argument and she voted for the (anything-but-Conservative) Libdem because her view of Reform was tainted by watching too much BBC.
January 21, 2025
As we live in a country where you have to be very careful what you say, Iād ban the BBC. Censorship should cut both ways.
January 21, 2025
I have already banned the bbc and no longer watch their output as is pure communism . I believe At 80 I have more intelligence and can think for myself!
January 21, 2025
Iāll email him too. Oddly, he is āmyā MP. Why you ask? Because there was no Reform candidate and I would put up with anything to avoid another Tory government. Have you considered standing for Reform next election?
January 22, 2025
Yes it was unfortunate there was no Reform candidate. I spoiled my ballot by writing “Reform Party” on it. I refused to vote for the lockdown supporting, jab-enthusiast and all-round LibCON, Chris Loder.
The Reform West Dorset Branch is now up and running and I’ll be getting involved but not in a senior capacity.
January 21, 2025
It seems our MP Clive Jones supports it.
January 21, 2025
A green siege economy is still a siege economy, whatever its professed colour.
Welcome to a hideous blend of Cuba, Venezuela and Myanmar.
January 21, 2025
It is alarming that so many MPs have such global ignorance of the science of CO2
January 21, 2025
I had not known about this damaging nonsense but see it reported (as at July 2024) that 158 MPs back the Bill, including the muppet who sits for my constituency.
Cannot AI etc. be developed to provide that only those favouring this CAN nonsense have its provisions applied to them? So, for example, such persons would be barred from buying all products the Bill seeks to ban, leaving the rest of us to live a post Stone Age life.
January 21, 2025
The writers and supporters of this bill have obviously not thought through the consequences of its implementation. No medical drugs, fertilisers, let alone hydrocarbon fuel. Food production halved – when we only produce half the food we need anyway – and an expensive plant based diet for everyone. The flight of industry, collapse in jobs: all consequences within five years. The resulting civil unrest will be kept in check by a very heavy handed police force.
I used to worry that the country is becoming like Venezuela. If this bill becomes law we will envy the luxurious lifestyle of the North Koreans.
Needless to say, the cuddly but increasingly irrational Lib Dems are supporters, including Wokinghamās new MP, Clive Jones.
January 21, 2025
I believe I have the most sensible and practicable solution to the climate debate. First, we acknowledge that the NZ2050 claim is a complete invention. No-one in the climate body has produced any reliable evidence that net zero needs to happen by 2050 at all. Second, we invest solely in nuclear energy and transition as and when new nuclear power stations are built. If that takes 50 years to complete so be it. Third, we export surplus nuclear produced energy to the rest of the world to part-offset some of the costs. I suggest this as non-renewables will run out eventually so we do need a long-term renewable British energy source. We just dont need to do this by 2050 nor to satisfy the net zero fabrications either.
January 21, 2025
Cheaper and quicker to drill, baby, drill – we have the liquid gold under our feet!
January 21, 2025
Thatās what I was implying. Use our fossil fuels until the extra nuclear power stations are built (however long that takes)
January 21, 2025
Interesting – nuclear surely in one form or another.
Unfortunately, in their wisdom, our expertise and capacity in nuclear fission was traded away to the French. Constant leaching of expertise on every level.
That is why nuclear projects have to be done by the French, and why telecoms have to be out sourced to Chinese or other foreign bidder etc. etc….
January 21, 2025
Praise to our PM for his analysis of the Southport tragedy and the necessary steps to try to correct its genesis. The problem for the UK is that Southport was only one small part of the problems we face. The glaring ommission is that there was no recognition of the cancer of grooming/ rape gangs known to be operating throughout the UK, and in desperate need of a national enquiry with teeth to deal with institutional failure.
January 21, 2025
Starmer didn’t ‘analyse’ the Southport child murders, or tragedy as you call it. He tried to hide the background of the perpetrator, which had been set out to him in a meeting with the Home Secretary a day or so after it occurred. He then attempted to muzzle an MP’s freedom to ask questions in the HoC, and called criminals people who took to the streets to protest about his handling of the affair.
If you want to see what the face of totalitarianism looks like in this country… it’s wearing those thick-rimmed black glasses.
January 21, 2025
Turns out the Government was guilty of spreading āmisinformationā, for which they demand custodial sentences.
We need criminal trials of those who spread misinformation with all the power of the state deployed, and also used said power to pervert the course of justice by jailing those who told the truth!
January 22, 2025
Two-Tier stood at the No.10 podium yesterday and blatantly lied to the British people – again – about the legality and consequences of him or the police releasing some limited information about the individual they had charged with murder.
There is nothing to prevent the release of limited information as long as it doesn’t prejudice the outcome of a prosecution.
As for not prejudicing the outcome of a prosecution, he had absolutely no concern about prejudicing the outcome of prosecutions against those involved in the protests (they weren’t riots) by branding them all Faaaah Rite thugs and criminals …. before they were even charged with an offence.
January 21, 2025
Garbage in equals garbage out. How can our MPs be so ignorant as to introduce this bill, and if the media is to be believed, over 150 of them support it?
With this kind of thinking, the UK is condemned to four years of decline and damage. It seems we have a government that actively dislikes the UK and its people! Sadly, until the conservatives wake up to the absolute nonsense of Net Zero and grasp the fact that CO2 is a beneficial gas, they have no hope.
When vast sums of money are involved and serious damage to the UK economy, how can our MPs not do some simple research into the subject? Do they never think to read a book on the subject? Does it not occur to them that Chinese, Indian and several other significant CO2 emitters just ignore the West’s obsession with it?
January 21, 2025
Absolutely it should be canned!
January 21, 2025
The ābillā will be a good barometer of how the commons and the parties are thinking, especially as the USA are about to kick the, net-zero & the paris agreement, can down the road
January 21, 2025
Oh those cans have NOT been kicked down the road, they have been crushed and recycled.
Itās OVER.
January 21, 2025
Surely there are better things Parliament should spend its time on.
January 21, 2025
Itās not impossible this Bill will pass. Almost a third of members support it. The second reading is on Friday, when many MPs will have left for their constituencies.

Two extract from the bill:
ā2 Duty of the Secretary of State: climate and nature strategy:
3 (d) ensuring the end of the exploration, extraction, export and import of
fossil fuels by the United Kingdom as rapidly as possible;ā
[Interesting did not use just the phrase āend the use of fossil fuelsā]
3(e) ensuring that steps taken under the strategy to mitigate emissions in
the United Kingdom and overseas minimise damage to ecosystems,
food and water availability, and human health, as far as possibleā
Iām not convinced that this bill is any worse than PM Mayās Net Zero by 2050 legislation. The addition of undefined and indeterminate terms such āas rapidly as possibleā and āas far as possibleā appear less onerous than the existing legislation where carbon budgets are set by climate activists, the tax-payer funded CCC, and the country is taken to court by another set of climate activists, also part funded by the taxpayer, if they consider these budgets are not being met. This is then decided by high court judges with no consideration if the measures required are practical or possible or how it will affect the health, prosperity or security of the nation.

Life and future is being stolen from us and future generation by those that want a world in their own personal image. While all the time neglecting the fact a future has to be funded and enforcing society back to the āstone ageā denies the ability to move forwarded. All these schemes give the appearance of either someone is working for UK.plcās competitors or they just hate everyone that donāt share their views.
I am reminded of a book āThe Abuse of Powerā written by someone that is the architect of the UKās pain on nearly every level. They didnāt even comprehend the word āserveā just dictate. Policies our Politicos follow to this day
January 21, 2025
I agree that this Bill is very dangerous, building on the crazy Net Zero policies from which we already suffer. The worrying sign is that it is supported by so many MPs across all parties, including two Conservatives. Don’t they realise this nation is already being damaged by such policies?
January 21, 2025
Parliament, the Civil Service, all institutions, quangos and regulators seem awash with PPE graduates all falling for the 3 greatest scams in the UK today.
Firstly that anthropogenic emissions of CO2 are an existential threat to the planet, secondly that the UKās rush to decarbonise will save the planet and every other country will follow our lead and thirdly that wind and solar are cheaper than fossil fuels and nuclear for reliable electricity generation.
I can see that a PPE degree will not help these graduates to recognise the first scam although watching Tom Shulaās āMissing Linkā presentation on the Tom Nelson YT channel would help. But it appears that the philosophy part of the degree does not assist with the second scam and you have to believe that the economics teaching must be very poor for them to believe the third scam. I suppose the course is 99% about politics.
January 21, 2025
Sir John
In the summer of 2024 450 UK citizens were convicted for being involved in the riots. All receiving various sentences down to getting 4 weeks in jail for being offensive language and 15 months in jail for social media comments.
When police searched his home after the Southport murders, they discovered a cache of weapons, including a machete, as well as books and documents about war and terrorism.
At the time the authorities denied there was any terrorist involvement or intent with the murders, and people were charged for suggesting there had been.
Then yesterday the attacker who murdered 3 and was charged with attempted murder and injured 10 others pleaded guilty as charged. The attacker was also convicted of terrorist offenses. It is also know the man was on the terrorist watch list.
TTK was awarded his title due to his handling of the situation, one law for those show dissent about his rule and another for those he supports.
In the round it would appear the protestors were right all along, the denial by TTKās gang and follows had to have been at the root of what followed.
Will there no be pardons for those whose suggestions have been proved, correct?
How impartial will any enquiry be, it is observed that those choosing to hold the inquiry and could be implicated also get to choose who will head it up and its terms of reference.
January 21, 2025
Co2 is 0.04% of Earths atmosphere, a trace gas. It’s impossible for it to have the magical properties attributed to it by the Green zealots.
January 21, 2025
+1
January 21, 2025
@Old Albion – the weird of weird bits some just donāt get, you cannot increase CO2 its fixed all you can do is move it around. The Planet has the same amount that it has had for millions of years, in a 100, or a 1000 years it will still be the same amount
January 21, 2025
Agreed – it is farcical that anyone should try to speed up netzero as it is already doing excessive damage all round.
More fantasy and outright lies.
I see they are still airing adverts to save polar bears when all the evidence points to the fact that they are thriving, more so than for a very very long time.
So why do they persist with the lies and innuendos – nobody challenges them, but destroying our way of life will not make any difference to the planet or wildlife.
This bill has to be stopped, but I fear it does have government support. MPs opposing were reduced on the latest reading. HMG would love this to go through for a variety of reasons.
January 22, 2025
āSuccessfulā Private Membersā Bills previously enacted into law tend to enable either protection or freedom for specific groups of people. In hindsight, although well-intended, some of those may have caused worse to grow in the long term.
January 21, 2025
This āClimate & Natureā Bill is another reminder that there must be hundreds of thousands of people working in Parliament, the Civil Service, institutions, quangos, regulators and foreign funded climate activist “think tanks” and “charities” working solely on the decarbonisation of the UK in order to meet our Net Zero by 2050 legal obligation.
Not only is this a complete waste of resources, manpower and lost opportunity but they spend their days discussing how to make our lives more expensive and more difficult. For instance, I have just watched an Energy Security and Net Zero Select Committee meeting dated 04/12/2024 where it was discussed how to make gas more expensive so that heat pumps could appear to be the cheapest form of heating.
If the next incoming Parliament cancels this enormous waste of time, money and effort they will automatically have an economic boom on their hands like we’ve never seen before.
But it won’t happen if the country continues to vote for the Uniparty.
January 21, 2025
… not sure how this Bill would enhance US-UK relations …
January 21, 2025
I spent Monday late afternoon watching events in the US. I returned to the TV later to watch President Trump at the celebratory event at the Capital One Stadium. I had an unexpectely large big smile on my face when he announced and signed Executive Orders to withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accords and the WHO. The latter will be in real trouble, as its budget will lose the $1,4bn that Biden gave it last year. I suspect US funding for the UN will also be cut back, and not before time.
Is this the beginning of the end of the ill-conceived rush to Net Zero ?
If The Donald gets half of his policies up and running over the next four years, and the US economy is growing, it seems likely that Mr Vance will become the 48th, and possibly 49th POTUS. That will surely seal the fate of the UN and the climate change lobby.
President Trump’s policy of “drill, baby, drill!” will undoubtedly have a huge effect on the Western World. When countries like ours are able to buy oil and gas from the US at much lower prices, voters and their employers will be asking themselves, why are our energy costs so high? Miliband and Co should be very frightened because they
simply have no credible answers. The result is likely to be new Western Governments severely reigning back on all aspects of the misguided rush to Net Zero.
With US manufacturers no longer having any legal requirement to build EVs, even cheaper energy, and a booming export industry for oil and gas, the US economy will undoubtedly be booming within four years while, without a change in course, European economies is will be in recession.
By 2029, the difference between the US and UK economies, and our respective standards of living, are likely to be greater than at any time since the early 1950s. That will surely be the opportunity for a Reform-led government to win a working majority.
I hope so, but, if Ann and I were 20 years younger, we would not wait: we would already be making plans to sell up and move to a nice rural town in the US Mid-West where we would move the business we had before we retired.

China āconcernedā over Trumpās withdrawal from climate agreement
āClimate change is a common challenge faced by all of humanity, and no country can remain unaffected or solve the problem on its own,ā foreign ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said.
By 2019 the nation(China) was emitting more greenhouse gases than the entire developed world combined, according to research by the Rhodium Group.
As of July 2024, China had 1,161 operational coal power plants. The country added 47.4 Gigawatts (GW) of new coal power in 2023, more than double the amount added by the rest of the world combined.
PM May, then Johnson, Sunak and now Starmer(with his millipead) is enhancing China as a premier CO2 producer by closing UK facilities Energy and Industry instead to rely on China. Not only that we have an energy department that is focused on absorbing more industrial out put from China while denying the UK and its people a right to exists.
It would appear this private members bill is another lets help China bill, there is no lets help the Planet and only lets destroy the UK
January 21, 2025
I haven’t got a ‘downer’ on China – just think its a Nation looking after its and its peoples interest. While in the UK we have two tier everything with Politicos having personal interests in personal ego and self-esteem that discount the needs of the County and its People.
January 21, 2025
šš¤£Chinaās only chance of beating the West economically depends on our hamstringing ourselves. China has never subscribed to any of this nonsense itself, but was enjoying us making complete fools of ourselves.
January 21, 2025
Ian B :
As Trump declared at his inauguration ceremony:
“The United States will not sabotage our own industries while China pollutes with impunity.ā
Not the view, however, of our āmake Britain payā Parliaments, PMs, Civil Service and Uniparty.
Not that CO2, the gas of life, is a pollutant of course.
January 21, 2025
The bill will doubtless be dropped using some variation of arcane Parliamentary procedure. But I do not put it beyond the present government ministers to do a deal with its proponents, promising to incorporate key aspects of the bill into other forthcoming legislation in exchange for withdrawing the bill as it stands.
The bill as drafted is full of imprecision and contradiction that makes it quite unsuited to reach the statute book. Turned over to Bryony Worthington and Jonathan Brearley for redrafting you could end up with something as dangerous as the Climate Change Act, promoted by Miliband. Perhaps now that Trump has formally notified the IPCC that the US is withdrawing from the Paris Agreement, and will be following that up with other policies designed to promote cheap energy and a successful US economy more politicians will speak out against the CAN follies. There will be a lot of noise from those who seek to impose it on us for the same reason. They should get met with a very public raspberry.
January 21, 2025
This Bill is extremely dangerous. I keep reading it will pass.
January 21, 2025
This article:
https://www.briefingsforbritain.co.uk/the-only-reset-uk-trade-needs/
offers some interesting information, such as:
“However exports in several sectors have fallen since Brexit and are unlikely to rebound as the goods being exported before 2021 were always re-exports of goods produced outside the UK or were goods made predominately with imported ingredients. I have highlighted these sectors with dashed lines in the graph below. The most obvious example is the UKās pre-Brexit āexportsā of tropical fruit and nuts. The UK cannot grow tropical fruit or tropical nuts, these were always imported from Commonwealth countries and then a proportion of the shipment was reexported to the EU but miscounted as a UK export by Intrastat. Alignment with EU SPS regulations will not turn re-exported mangos and bananas into UK exports.”
And also argues:
“The Government does not need to reset the UKās relationship with the EU but it does need to reset its attitude towards fossil fuels. The world will continue to need cheap reliable fuel well into the 2050s. Running down our oil and gas production and our oil-related export industries while importing oil and gas from the US or Qatar is economic suicide.”
January 21, 2025
Thanks to a poster above that referred to conservativewoman.co.uk piece on this I could look up a little more about it. Have I understood this correctly: this bill doesn’t intend to reduce imports with heavy Co2 emissions but only restricts what the UK can produce in our own territory. So we can still import Beef from Ireland, and it wouldn’t affect our farming emissions targets! We can buy in fuels from Norway at ever larger amounts but as long as we don’t drill for our own or manufacture ourselves these Net Zero fans will be content!
What do these MPs presenting and signing up for this say ‘significant restraint’ across all sectors involves in detail?
Did they confirm it means car use drastically reduced. Consumption of meat and dairy curtailed and fertiliser drastically reduced. Heavy goods vehicle mileage cut in half (have they told the Industry that is investing right now)? Half UK airports to be shut. Gas boilers banned by 2028, Use of construction materials, mortar, steel, plastics and cement halved? Using recycled materials instead!
These university students at UKFires are sending us downhill fast without a brake.
We read today that Rayner is fast-tracking development and Khan wants to build on park land, yet this act insists that any development that threatens nature must prioritise the protection of nature.
Governments can’t achieve this without severely restricting the public’s freedoms.
January 21, 2025
How many MPās have installed air source heat pumps? How many MPās drive battery EVās? How many MPās if they have done the upgrades then used their own money?
Donāt forget it is the, this UK Parliament that insists, and has made Laws to order everyone in the Country to comply with their egotistical diktats
How many Government building have air sourced heating? How many Government vehicles are battery EVās?
Is this were we all say āI thought soā. A two tier country run by two tier egotists
January 21, 2025
What does the rest of the world think of once Great Britain now in self-destruct mode?
The USA has already elected their saviour but where is our new Mrs Thatcher?
Starmer? What, J Corbyn Mk II? No way.
January 21, 2025
I agree with your views on this proposed Bill. The biggest threat to nature in this country is the over population by humans and no one is willing to deal with it. When a lot of people coming here do not intend to work for a living this adds nothing to the country. At least wildlife provides valuable eco-system help to enrich the soil and add to the working of the earth so that crops can be grown for human consumption.
January 21, 2025
The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero: that is an oxymoron. Although the previous Tory equivalent Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy had as its primary objective the Net Zero lunacy by increasing energy costs for industry destroying our competitiveness so they made it far easier for Miliband and Labour to continue with the deliberate destruction of the UK economy. The Chinese will continue to manufacture heat pumps for export as they will continue to export other products manufactured using energy generated by coal.
January 21, 2025
As a critic of Trump, and compared to his last time in office, I have to give him fair dues: 1) He’s now a lot calmer / more normal 2) Talking a lot more sense.
He’s clearly been listening to some sensible people and learned from his mistakes. So kudos so far to Trump. He gives me more hope.
(I have GREAT respect for people who can listen to others and learn from their mistakes – so so far, he’s earned my respect to a degree. Let’s hope he carries on like this because the world (economy, security, culture in general) might just become a better place).

Also Kudos to Trump over Putin. He’s challenged Putin in a very sensible way. I was not expecting that. I think Trump has ditched some of his unhinged advisers and following more his intuition and the advice of more sensible people. Good news. Let’s hope continues like this.
