Today marks the start of partridge shooting in the UK. Each year, tens of millions of birds are factory-farmed, released, and gunned down — all perfectly legal, with government backing. Most people have no idea this is happening, let alone the scale of killing.

Wind turbines only last 10–15 years” is pure FUD propaganda. That’s a design life, not a death sentence. Denmark just extended its 2000-built Middelgrunden offshore wind farm to 2050—50 years! Like bridges, turbines last decades with proper care. The myth is dead. Wind lives on. 🌬️⚡ #EnergyTransition

It's 3 years today since Shell was given the go-ahead to drill for new gas at Jackdaw field. It was later ruled unlawful, but self-styled "green" chancellor Rachel Reeves made clear she doesn't care 👇

There is an alternative to Government welfare cuts - a 2% tax on wealth. There is no shortage of money here, we just need a fairer approach to tax - take more from the few not the many.
