More #NetZero madness!

"First Dutch farmers were threatened with compulsory purchases to satisfy EU emissions targets...
Now it’s Ireland’s turn..." 1/7
telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/06/0…
First Dutch farmers were threatened with compulsory purchases to satisfy EU emissions targets, fomenting a new revolt in the process. Now it’s Ireland’s turn, where the government is reportedly looking at plans to cull around 200,000 cows to meet its climate targets. 2/7
"It’s very fortunate we’re out of the EU or we could be facing the same pressure from Brussels. Now, we can only hope that Rishi Sunak, who represents a heavily rural constituency in the Yorkshire Dales, understands what’s at stake for farming communities." 3/7
"Dutch and Irish politicians have failed to recognise that regenerative farming techniques allow livestock farmers to help mitigate climate change by sequestering carbon in the soil." 4/7
"And we should be embracing the energy-creating capacity of cows. Tallow from British cattle is already being turned into biodiesel..." 5/7
"And thanks to Somerset-based start-up, Biofactory, new anaerobic technology is already available to turn the methane in their manure into usable electricity and heat." 6/7
"Wreaking havoc on livestock farming families in the name of climate science is also very short-sighted."

"If there are any in Britain minded to follow the Dutch and Irish examples, they should think again." 7/7

How the hell is Bailey still in a job? 🤬

The Bank of England has made Britain the sick man of Europe again 1/10

telegraph.co.uk/business/2023/…
"Over the last three years, our central bank has done a significantly worse job than any of its comparable rivals."
"...it is not just the euro-zone...In the United States, the inflation rate has dropped...below 5% despite a surge in government spending. 2/10
"The Bank of England kept interest rates too low for far too long, complacently assuming that inflation had been banished for good and completely missing the pressure on prices that the Covid lockdown would create." 3/10

"The Counter-Disinformation Unit (CDU) was set up by ministers to tackle supposed domestic “threats”, and was used to target those critical of lockdown and questioning the mass vaccination of children." 1/8
telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/06/0…
"The CDU, which is still operating, was embedded in the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS)."

"As well as the CDU, the Government operated a Rapid Response Unit (RRU) in the Cabinet Office that hunted online for content it considered disinformation." 2/8
"An artificial intelligence firm (AI) was used by the Government to scour social media sites. The company flagged discussions opposing vaccine passports."

"The BBC also took part in secretive meetings of a government policy forum to address the so-called disinformation." 3/8

"It bears noting, uncomfortable though it may be for some, that, despite everything, Boris Johnson is about 10 percentage points more popular than the Prime Minister among both Leavers and 2019 Tory voters." 1/9

telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/06/0…
"...Rishi Sunak, about as Remainer-friendly a Brexiteer as you can get, is at minus 35% popularity among Remain voters. Surely it’s better to try to bring back people who actually voted for us very recently, in an election that we won...?" 2/9
"It bears noting, uncomfortable though it may be for some, that, despite everything, Boris Johnson is about 10 percentage points more popular than the Prime Minister among both Leavers and 2019 Tory voters. So... 3/9

This 👇from Guto Harri who had been critical of BJ 1/9

Boris Johnson feared Covid left UK infantilised and in ‘permanent state of doublethink’ telegraph.co.uk/politics/2023/…
"Boris Johnson feared the Covid response left Britain infantilised and in a “permanent state of doublethink”...
Guto Harri claimed Mr Johnson had become uncomfortable with the size of the state in the wake of more than £300bn of spending in response to the pandemic." 2/9
“He basically feared that the UK had become infantilised, essentially addicted to Government telling them what to do, how to live their lives, who they could see, where they could go, et cetera..." 3/9

"Despite the clean and paperless allure of tech companies, Silicon Valley is fast emerging as a key threat to the race to net zero." 1/6

The data giants more damaging to the environment than airlines telegraph.co.uk/business/2023/…
"The world’s computing and information storage sector has a larger carbon footprint than the airline industry, while a single data centre can consume as much electricity as 50,000 homes." 2/6
"In 2019, IT and computing accounted for 3.7% of global carbon emissions, according to analysis by The Shift Network, compared to those from the airline industry, which make up around 2.4%." 3/6

"Lord Frost, the former Brexit negotiator, told The Telegraph that the EU had also turned down the same proposal when he was leading trade talks in 2020." 1/5

EU rubbishes Keir Starmer’s big idea to ‘improve’ Brexit telegraph.co.uk/politics/2023/…
“It’s always been clear that the only kind of food standards or veterinary agreement the EU will do with a near neighbour like the UK is one in which we have to accept EU laws... 2/5
...That was never acceptable to the Boris Johnson government or to the British people who voted to take back control.
It really is depressing that Labour seems to have learned nothing from the seven years since the referendum..." 3/5
