I'm stunned that random Reform UK Ltd councillor wasn't asked about fracking.
The hypocrisy of those Reform frauds is extraordinary.

This pro-fossil fuel rant by Annabel Denham is just economic doo-doo.

This random Reform UK Ltd councillor would prefer that Lincolnshire were torn up by fracking.
Will he be asked about his party/company's fracking policy?

Anabel Denham is a complete slave to the elites.
I get the feeling that she won't be happy until the richest people in this country are paying zero tax.

My first question to this farmer would be: Are you affected by this inheritance tax?
But I suspect he won't be asked that question.

Former IEA, current Telegraph propagandist Annabel Denham knows that Brexit has choked the UK economy, but she has to keep up the pretence that Brexit is great.

The same Elise Stefanik who hauled college presidents over the coals for alleged antisemitism.
Every single one of those MAGA people are frauds.

By the way, JD Vance must really despise his wife and kids.
I doubt those MAGA goblins didn't racially abuse Asians.

If those 'Young Republicans' (up to 40 years old) were pro-Palestine campus students, what would that hypocrite JD Vance be saying?

Those very same 18-year-olds will go out on the lash, as soon as they can, and we have a far bigger problem with alcohol abuse.

The Green Party's drug policy is completely sensible.
You will never stop a certain section of society wanting to take drugs.
It's better to remove those people from illegality.
