- The Conservatives built no nuclear reactors between 2010 and 2024Kemi Badenoch: “While Britain was redefining what a woman is, China was building five nuclear reactors.”
- Why we should be building solar farms instead of drilling for North Sea Gas: 1) Solar is quicker. 3 months to build solar farms vs. 1 year+ for gas drilling 2) Solar is 9 times cheaper than gas 3) Solar will actually lower bills. We don't have enough gas to affect energy prices
- It's irresponsible to borrow £130bn for an energy price freeze when we could get £75bn in windfall, wealth, and corporation taxes My head and shoulders on BBC Breakfast this morning
00:00 - Thank you for electing me to represent and serve you as your MP. We're starting from scratch. So please do bear with me as I hire staff, and all the rest. I did pick up my laptop yesterday. If you have casework or queries please e-mail me at: [email protected]
- "I'm not doing this country down, I'm doing your government down" My response to the Conservative MP, Heather Wheeler on BBC East Mids
00:00 - If you want our rivers to be clean, then @Feargal_Sharkey thinks you should vote Labour at this election
00:00 - "Isn't a bit entitled to claim your generation is done down?" No, not when 2.6 million kids are going hungry. And not when my generation can't afford to start families My head and torso on Sky News yesterday evening
00:00 - Wages ARE NOT growing at record rates. Take into account inflation, and they're barely growing at all. Take a step back, and wages are about £1,000 lower than they were in 2008. The British worker is poorer today than they were over a decade ago
UK wages rise at fastest rate since records began bbc.in/47KsJAb - Today, I will be voting to means-test the Winter Fuel Allowance. The poorest pensioners will get *more* money. Because: 1) Large increase in Pension Credit enrolment (£4,000) 2) Household Support Fund extended (£100) 3) State pension increase (worth around £1,300 by April)
- P.h.Done! My British-Indian parents are *very* happy that their son's a doctor If you ever need any economics or politics diagnosing, feel free to hit me up
- I fully support the proposed Mantle Solar Farm. Yes in My Constituency. Yes in My Backyard.
00:00 - Why Elections matter - New Labour Victory Edition: 1) After Labour won in 1997, about a million kids lifted out of poverty. Child hunger was unheard of 2) After the Conservatives won in 2010, a million kids pushed into poverty. Over 1.7 million kids going hungry today
- The UK bond rate is now back to where it was at beginning of the year The reporting on the rise over two weeks ago was *wild*
