The UK continues to export quite a bit of electricity to France ( 2.8 GW) and is even burning coal ( 0.6GW) to help us do it.

Steve Bray has spent six years screaming abuse through a loudhailer at me and many others as often as he saw us for the ‘crime’ of trying to fulfil the democratic decision of the UK to leave the EU. This action by the police to stop his violent protest is very welcome 👏👏👏 https://twitter.com/lbc/status/1541754410392555521
A large group of police surrounded Stop Brexit Man Steve Bray and seized his speaker under a new law banning ‘noisy protests’ https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/police-swoop-stop-brexit-mans-speaker-under-new-law-banning-noisy-protest/

What’s up?
Well, food costs. By 10%.
1. Axe the carbon tax
2. End inflationary deficits
3. Remove gatekeepers so more truckers can deliver food

Club spies tell me @PennyMordaunt got a standing ovation from #marginal MPs at the Carlton this evening. Reassured the anxious over core values: party was like McCartney at #Glastonbury. "We were OK with a few new tunes, but what we really want is the old familiar favourites."

I think I've narrowed it down to 5 who roughly fit all the requirements:
- Tom Randall (Maj 679)
- Gary Sambrook (1640)
- Andy Carter (2010)
- Darren Henry (5331)
- Simon Fell (5789)
imo, we might see 2 of these defect and maybe a third, but 6 sounds nigh on impossible https://twitter.com/Quinby__/status/1540999286036504586

I have commented on the excellent report "An Unsafe Bill" by @iealondon @MissVHewson @matthewlesh.
The Government's Online Safety Bill is fundamentally flawed. The Govt should slim it down, move fast with the uncontroversial aspects, & junk the rest.

You couldn't make it up. The EU have granted China equivalence and access to its financial markets in a number of key areas. Yet, the bloc continues to refuse the UK regulatory equivalence despite our rules being broadly in line with theirs. EU's vindictive nature is boundless.

Italy remains a major industrial player in the EU: even during the Covid-19 crisis, 🇮🇹 recorded the EU's second highest industrial production after Germany, and exported significantly more goods than it imported.

When will everyone finally admit that the cost of living crisis is down to Lockdowns, the printing of money to pay for Lockdowns & the supply chain issues caused by them here and around the world ?
Inflation was at a 30 year high way before Ukraine.

Brad sending a lot of love to art historians.
For 2 years, large parts of the economy were shut down. The majority of people went along with this. But now we have a global cost of living crisis and almost everyone is concerned about this. The lesson to learn is this: The cost of living crisis is a cost of lockdown crisis.
Brilliant that the Chancellor @rishisunak accepted my invitation to come to Aberdeenshire and speak to the Oil and Gas Industry today!
Only the @Conservatives are standing up for our region, supporting jobs and investing in the future.
A great pleasure to welcome Chancellor @RishiSunak to West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine today!
A great friend to Scotland and the North East. 👍🇬🇧
Boris has suggested that Britain should start mining and burning its own coal again instead of importing it from abroad. If the PM would lift his crazy shale gas moratorium, Britain could actually make use of its domestic resources!

Fracking would be much cheaper and much less CO2 intensive.

Completely wrong by @peston here. "Crying wolf" is precisely what Sunak is doing here.
Inflation increases tax revenues and reduces the real value of spending on public services and public sector pay. The public finances are not the problem. https://twitter.com/Peston/status/1539879132422717440
inflation (RPI) in its calculations of the monthly interest bill. Little wonder the Chancellor says “rising inflation and increasing debt interest costs pose a challenge for the public finances, as they do for family budgets”. He’s not crying wolf. To put that in some kind of…
