Wales's green energy should benefit Wales, not London's coffers. It's time to take control.
It really grinds my gears, the hypocrisy of it all. We have some of the best natural resources in Europe for generating clean, renewable energy – miles of coastline for offshore wind, big tidal ranges, hydro opportunities in the mountains.
Solar panels on every new house – make it happen!
We need to mandate solar panels on all new housing developments. This isn't just about hitting green targets; it's about long-term cost savings for families and boosting our energy independence. Right now, energy bills are a massive worry
A Balanced Energy Approach is Needed
As a long-time advocate for sensible policy, I am dismayed by the prevailing approach to energy production, which often prioritises ideology over pragmatism. The notion that we can abruptly transition to a fully green energy system is not o
Mandate a minimum vote share for parties to gain seats.
Seeing the results from Scotland makes you wonder about the effectiveness of our electoral system. It seems parties can win seats with a relatively small percentage of the vote, which doesn't always reflect broad public support. This can le
Energy and Bills: regulate market with a public owned option
Energy should be simple. You use it, you pay a fair price, and you don’t feel like you’ve just received bad medical news. Right now, it’s not. Bills confuse people, loyalty is punished, and too many households are one cold evening away fro
Common Sense Energy Policy: Security, Affordability, and a Realistic Approach to the Environment
The current obsession with abstract Net Zero targets, detached from economic reality, is a disservice to the nation. While I agree that environmental stewardship is important, it cannot come at the expense of working families and the viabil
Stop Kicking Pubs: Let's Build Homes and Services That Work for Real People
They talk about housing and services, and yeah, people are struggling. I hear it every day at the pub, especially from folks worried about their kids not being able to afford to live anywhere decent. It's not about people moving in, it's ab
Scotland's Energy Future: Time to Cut the Cord with Westminster's Mess
We need to establish a publicly owned Scottish National Energy Company to manage our renewable resources and ensure the profits benefit Scotland directly. For too long, our wind and tidal power potential has been exploited by companies base
Britain First? We Need Britain Working Together.
It’s understandable that people are feeling squeezed. I hear it too, from parents and grandparents in the village, worried about their children and grandchildren finding affordable homes and secure jobs. The feeling that the system isn’t wo
Defence First. Stop Funding Foreign Wars.
Heard some chatter about prioritising our own. Fair enough. But who are ‘our own’? Is it just the folks in civvy street worrying about bills, or does it include the blokes still in uniform, or those who’ve served and are now struggling? Bec
Why are we still paying polluters to get rich off our energy bills?
How much sense does it actually make that energy companies are being handed massive subsidies while ordinary families are struggling to heat their homes? It feels like we're rewarding the very people who are making the climate crisis worse.
Investing in Britain, Not Blaming Newcomers
It’s understandable that people are worried about their living standards. The cost of living crisis is real, and many are feeling the squeeze. But pointing the finger at immigrants is a simplistic and frankly lazy solution that ignores the
Let's get solar working for everyone, not just the roof-owners
I get the frustration about subsidies, especially when energy bills are so high. Seeing all those expensive solar arrays on some houses does make you wonder where the taxpayer money is going, particularly when you think about small business
Scrap the green tax on energy bills
I think we should get rid of the green tax on energy bills because it's just another way for the government to take our money and redistribute it to their favourite projects. This tax is supposed to fund renewable energy initiatives but fro
Scrap the green nonsense and drill for oil
I'm sick of paying through the nose for my heating bills just so some politician can feel good about themselves and their so-called green credentials. It's all well and good talking about saving the planet but when you're struggling to make
Enough of this green nonsense, what about keeping the lights on?
Barnaby and I were out on our walk yesterday morning, same as always, and saw young Tom down at the village pub looking absolutely furious. His gas boiler packed in on Monday, and he's been quoted nearly £15,000 for a heat pump and all the
Enough already with these insane energy bills for small businesses!
It's ridiculous. Every quarter I'm bracing myself for the new energy bill and it feels like a gamble with my businesses. We've absorbed so much cost over the last few years, from ingredients to wages, and the energy price hikes have been a
Energy Security: Common Sense Over Climate Alarmism
It’s utterly exhausting listening to these endless debates about Net Zero as if it’s some sort of religious commandment. Honestly, the obsession with hitting arbitrary targets seems to eclipse any real concern for what working families are
Enough is enough! Energy price caps need a serious rethink, not just tinkering.
Saw young Kev from down the road yesterday, stressed to the eyeballs. He runs that little bakery on the corner, been there ten years, always gets his morning roll from me. Said his electricity bill doubled, nearly put him out of business. H
Stop moaning, start building: Homes people can actually afford and afford to heat
This lot talk about underinvestment, I talk about actually getting things built. My lads and I spend our lives fixing shoddy work because councils and developers cut corners on building regs. It’s not underinvestment, it’s rubbish standards
