Britain is in an Energy Emergency.
But the Government is FAILING TO ACT. They have no plan, no idea what to do, and they’re leaving us exposed.
So today we’re launching The LFG Emergency Energy Bill to SAVE OUR INDUSTRIES and GET BILLS DOWN
Here’s how it would get bills down IMMEDIATELY:
1️⃣ SCRAP all levies on energy bills. These stealth taxes on the British people are unnecessarily hiking up their bills by hundreds of pounds.
2️⃣ REOPEN THE NORTH SEA, and directly deploy the tax revenue generated to GET BILLS DOWN.
3️⃣ Stop new CfD contracts and launch an investigation into the system that signed them off. Last year, billpayers paid £1.5 billion for big renewable corporations to THROW ENERGY AWAY. By 2030, it’ll be £8 billion. The existing settlement is a national scandal.
4️⃣ Scrap Clean Power 2030 targets. These needless constraints have pushed civil servants to procure wind at any cost – and at huge expense to the British people.
5️⃣ DITCH the duties of energy regulators, NESO and Ofgem, towards Net Zero goals, so their only focus is to MINIMISE ENERGY COSTS, subject to security of supply.
6️⃣ Hold auctions for connecting to the grid, and directly deploy the revenue generated to GET BILLS DOWN
Our Emergency Energy Bill has cross-party support. It is ready to PASS IMMEDIATELY. It does what governments for the past 20 years didn’t – it takes RADICAL ACTION to SAVE OUR INDUSTRIES and GET BILLS DOWN.
There’s no excuse. Last week, the US suspended access to some of the world’s leading frontier AI models. Britain is vulnerable - and our energy prices are strangling our national security. We cannot afford to be at the mercy of other countries or events beyond our control any longer.
The Government needs to GET BILLS DOWN NOW or explain why they’re still letting this emergency destroy our future.
Force Westminster to ACT. Send our Bill to your local MP and sign our letter to the Prime Minister and Ed Miliband. GET BILLS DOWN, NOW!

Westminster has this absurd obsession with "Comms".
On the brink of collapse of his government Starmer said "people don't need spreadsheets, they need stories". They thought they were doing well - they just needed better tweets.
No, gov didn't deliver.
Time to wake up!
Why is Britain in decline?
It's NOT a "communications problem".
It's an ACTION problem.
👉 Economic growth has been STAGNANT for 20 years.
👉 Energy prices are amongst the HIGHEST in the developed world.
👉 Infrastructure is 65% more expensive than in France & Germany.
👉 We RATION water & energy supplies EVERY YEAR.
👉 Nearly 4 MILLION young adults still live at home with their parents.
Now, JOBS are moving abroad & industries are COLLAPSING.
Government after government has FAILED to take the RADICAL ACTION REQUIRED to rescue Britain.
No more excuses. No more delays.
We will only rescue Britain if we ACT 🚀

Three ideas to END Britain's GROWTH EMERGENCY.
1⃣ JUST BUILD STUFF
Parliament CAN pass legislation in ONE DAY.
Like the Victorians once did, the Government must PASS specialised acts that BUILDS major infrastructure IMMEDIATELY.
No reviews. No consultations. No excuses.
2⃣ GET BILLS DOWN
👉 SCRAP levies on energy bills.
👉 Deploy tax revenue from the North Sea to get bills DOWN.
👉 Stop paying Big Renewable Corporations BILLIONS to turn their turbines OFF.
👉 SCRAP Clean Power 2030 targets.
👉 Implement ALL 47 recommendations from the Fingleton Review.
3⃣ SCRAP STAMP DUTY ON SHARES
20 years ago, companies raised £51 BILLION on the London Stock Exchange.
In 2025, they managed LESS THAN 0.5%.
In the global IPO league table, we have dropped BELOW Mexico, Spain & Turkey.
Every time a person buys a share, they pay a tax. This is a BARRIER to investment.
The Government must END THIS TAX.
No excuses. No distractions. The Government must take RADICAL ACTION to RESCUE BRITAIN.

“It’s a not communications problem, it’s an action problem”.
Lawrence Newport, founder of the Looking for Growth, rejects the idea “that Keir Starmer didn’t speak enough about hope” was his main problem.

"I really do not favour another election... what the country needs is results."
Lawrence Newport, founder of Looking for Growth, tells #Newsnight that the UK requires "profound change" and "strong leadership" as PM Andy Burnham plays down the idea of an early election.

In 2000, Madrid wanted to expand their airport.
Six year later, they opened two new runways and a terminal.
Meanwhile...
2016: The Government supports building a third runway at Heathrow
2026: "Yeah maybe we just like won't do it anymore we don't know."
No more excuses. The runway would create 100,000 DIRECT JOBS.
The Government must END THE DELAYS & GET IT DONE.

GOOD NEWS FOR OXFORD.
Oxford United can FINALLY build their new stadium.
Or can they?
The club still faces the possibility of ANOTHER LEGAL CHALLENGE.
BLOCKERS could still take this to the Court of Appeal.
Let’s stop wasting time and GET BUILDING. 👷♂️
Oxford United can confirm, following an oral renewal hearing earlier today, that a High Court Judge has refused permission for a judicial review relating to the planning permission for the Club’s proposed new stadium.
Having heard submissions from Counsel for each of Friends of Stratfield Brake (the Claimant), Cherwell District Council, Oxfordshire County Council and Oxford United, the Judge concluded that the grounds of challenge were unarguable.

Is this acceptable?
Rebuilding an 18m wide railway bridge cost £237,000,000.
And it’s taken…
1,258 days.
That’s LONGER than it took to BUILD the Eiffel Tower.
EXCLUDING HS2, rail costs 79% MORE to build in Britain than other countries.
The delays must END.
FIX planning, SAVE money & BUILD infrastructure.
Who’s with us?
My latest for @spectator on the avoidable mistakes and unlearnt lessons that explain how it can take three years and cost £237m to upgrade a single railway bridge.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe is right.
Britain's ASTRONOMICAL energy prices are taking jobs.
3 chemical plants & 4,000 high-skilled jobs are AT RISK in Hull.
Industries are MOVING abroad.
The Government must take RADICAL ACTION IMMEDIATELY to END the Energy Emergency.
Do you agree?
“Factories will be shut because energy costs are too high.”
In the age of vibe politics, it’s easy to dismiss the opinion of an abrasive billionaire tax exile.
But if you swap Jim Ratcliffe for Mick Lynch , millions of people would sit up and listen.
This is de-industrialisation. This is job destruction. And it's happening on a Labour government's watch.
People like Bridget Phillipson want to invalidate Jim Ratcliffe’s points on energy policy simply because of who he is.
It’s fine if you think he’s a tosser.
But he’s right.
Address his points please.
