It's currently possible, within the #EU, to a minimum of 5%.

There are active plans to reduce this minimum to 0%.

Spain has done it already.

Here is part of an email, received just today, from Energía XXI (formerly Endesa), a major Spanish domestic energy provider, proving that this is the case, and is being acted on right now.

I am sure your Castilian is up to it.
@JuliaHB1 .@JuliaHB1

In case you do not have Castilian, the part I have highlighted says:

"The reduction of VAT from 21% to 10% for power supplies less than or equal to 10kW •is being extended•."

Would you like to correct your tweet?

@Tobias_Ellwood Mr Ellwood, I don't remember you sounding off when statues of Lenin, Saddam, various al-Assads, Hoxha, etc were toppled.

Oh, and here's a picture of UK REME engineers dismantling a Saddam statue on behalf of grateful locals.

Selective memory and concern on your part, perhaps?
@Tobias_Ellwood You would do well, as a non-lawyer, to read this well-argued piece by @barristersecret.

And then to reflect on your position on the matter.

@Tobias_Ellwood @BarristerSecret Please note:

Juries. Cannot. And. Do. Not. Set. Precedents. Ever.

Only the High Court can set a 'precedent'.

What I think you mean is: 'I don't like this verdict'.

And anti-slavery activism is not a C21 phenomenon, either.

As I say, this tweet is therefore unworthy of you.

@BorisJohnson has LIED at #PMQs at least twice today:

VAT on energy bills:



Denied saying inflation fears were unfounded. And yet he said it on 05/12/21:



How long are you going to let him cheapen democracy?
@CommonsSpeaker @BorisJohnson For more precision, @CommonsSpeaker, VAT on domestic fuel bills could have been reduced to 5% if the UK had remained in the #EU.

But, of course, Johnson does not even want to go that far.

If you want to speak of "raw abuse", or "lowering the tone", look at what the Johnson cabal is doing to the UK, its standards, and its democracy.

Your criticism is misguided, and aimed at the wrong perpetrators.

And your patronising last sentence should have been beneath you.
.@MichaelLCrick

You don't get to defeat the Johnson Gang by standing aside and wagging your finger like some ineffectual headmaster.

And that's what we're after: getting shot of them.

Perhaps you are not bothered either way?
@MichaelLCrick Additionally, it's not a "kick in the teeth" for Hoyle. Who knows better than you, it seems, that what cannot be said in the Chamber can indeed be said outside.

So, in case there is any doubt: in my view also, Johnson is a coward, and a liar.

We are now 13 DAYS away from many Brits in ES having to sit a driving test.

Despite having had a full UK licence for nearly 40 years.

Because THERE ARE NO exchange appointments at DGT.

Are you and FCDO doing something about this?

@BremainInSpain @Suewilson91
@HughElliottUK @BremainInSpain @Suewilson91 Each online appointment request comes back with "El horario de atención al cliente está completo para los próximos días. Inténtelo más tarde."

And a DGT official told me there are no appts, because of a "lack of agreement" between UK and ES.

There needs to be action here, now.
@HughElliottUK @BremainInSpain @Suewilson91 I have screengrabbed & timestamped each failed online cita application, for later proof. An example from today.

But this is not good enough. Brexit has imposed costs & strains on Brits in EU. This one is unnecessary.

An extension. Or mutual recognition of DLs.

Now, please.

@BorisJohnson repeated the lie in #PMQs that, if we had remained in EMA, "we would have been unable to deliver the vaccine rollout at all".

The UK was in transition period when the vaccine rollout started. EU rules applied.

You did not intervene.

Why not?
@CommonsSpeaker @BorisJohnson If, Mr Speaker, you cannot intervene to insist that the PM corrects the grossest of lies, then what is your rôle?

What are you for?

How far does parliamentary democracy have to slide into the dung heap before you find your courage, and act?
@CommonsSpeaker @BorisJohnson Channel 4 Fact Check points out that "Brexit did not speed up UK vaccine authorisation".

So, are you going to bring Johnson back to correct the record? When?

Trevelyan's mother, who is French, was - like so many - shafted by Brexit.

Until Brexit, she had the right to live in the UK under FoM.

Post Brexit, she had to apply to stay.

With fewer rights.

And Johnson acolyte Trevelyan merely smiles.
@annietrev Today, one EU citizen in UK says:

"Today marks the end of my automatic rights in a country I've called home for over 30 years. I am now at the mercy of political promises and Home Office processes... my status HAS changed. My heart is heavy."

@annietrev, you should be ashamed.
@annietrev .@annietrev

Why limit people's lives in this way?

SM/CU/FoMP would have been totally consistent with the 'mandate' of the referendum.

But you Tories chose the hardest of Brexit deals:

⇝ out of ideology
⇝ to (try to) keep your Party together.

YOU have blighted lives.
