Amazing bit of 2019 footage this.

Frei doing a great job of trying to hold Farage to account as he and Nathan Gill go walkabout.

And I suspect Farage will come to regret his quip at the end about Russians if it does the rounds again.
Nathan’s mate Nigel sure did seem to want to brush it all away when questioned by Matt Frei back in 2019.

This is an important one, folks. The question isn't how ID cards would improve efficiency under a humane and sensible government, it's how they would be misused by, say, Nigel Farage to target brown people or queer people or disabled people or just white migrants like me who are a little weird.
One of the unexpected things I've learned from my advocacy for trans people is how malignant parts of the State can be, how it can misuse data for positively evil purposes. It's taught me people can't be safe with a digital ID card and so I've signed this. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...
Petition: Do not introduce Digital ID cards
We demand that the UK Government immediately commits to not introducing a digital ID cards. There are reports that this is being looked at.

I’m in Norway right now. When I told folks here that back home in the UK people say heat pumps don’t work in cold weather they just laughed out loud.

There's space for five names in the submission boxes.

Let's go with:

Exxon Mobil
BP
Shell
Equinor

At last, those companies will get the recognition they deserve.

Pls retweet!

Improvised aircon using our air to water heatpump

Had a shower and made sure that the exhaust air from the heatpump is directed into the house through the correctly angled patio doors. Genius

Well done Labour

Anyone who thought you represented real change now despises you.

Anyone who didn’t, still won’t.

People who weren’t that convinced but hoped for the best are out of patience.

You’ve managed to turn off everyone.

Quite the achievement!

What a month April was for energy production from our solar panels

They generated 661kWh, that’s more than in any month last year

Coupled with battery our total energy bill was -£27. Yep we got paid 😀

Everything is electric; induction cooker, heat pump and 1000 miles in the EV
