Govt must bin ‘green levy’ that adds to our energy bills and makes us poorer
Bin this tax
WE thought the message was already loud and clear. Britain will not support Net Zero policies which make us poorer.
Yet the “green levy” adding £170 to your annual energy bill will be reinstated next month, having been suspended for a year. It would be crazy for the Government to plough on with that.
Millions are desperate for help, not new charges from Downing Street.
They don’t have a few extra quid to fund unrealistic Net Zero ambitions.
The Tories’ powers to cut inflation are limited.
Rishi Sunak stresses that he can only resist unaffordable pay rises and hope the storm passes.
But here’s a new burden he can spare us right now.
Bin the levy, Rishi.
Met shambles
FOR 28 years Matthew White went unpunished for Stephen Lawrence’s murder.
Only now, after his own death in 2021, is he named as possibly the racist killers’ ringleader.
It is yet another appalling indictment of the failing Met Police.
Its blunders over Stephen, including clues fingering White but missed, vividly expose how far back that rot goes.
Have the woeful cops paid a price? No.
Ex-chief Cressida Dick is alleged to have told one officer not to bother chasing other suspects once two thugs got life terms in 2012.
She is sitting pretty in retirement on a pile of money.
It is an outrage.
Payback time
WHY should taxpayers foot the £5.5million policing bill run up by Just Stop Oil?
There is another obvious candidate:
The half-wit Californian entrepreneur Trevor Neilson, who helped fund the climate extremists and now regrets it.
He initially thought it would be great to orchestrate a little anarchy in the UK from the comfort of his Malibu home.
Now he believes his zombie-shuffling doomsday morons are turning the public off the eco cause, just as we predicted.
We don’t hear any actual sorrow from Neilson for all those missed funerals, exams and hospital appointments.
But he CAN still apologise to Britain.
By writing the Home Office a big cheque.
Migrants bill
THE £169,000 cost of sending each illegal migrant to Rwanda is staggering. But what’s the alternative?
Allowing them to keep coming could ultimately cost £11billion a year in accommodation bills, Home Office estimates reveal.
That’s more than the Justice Department’s entire budget.
The Appeal Court will rule this week whether the Rwanda deterrent is a goer.
We wait, too, for Labour to stop sneering about it and present THEIR first serious, workable plan to stop the boats.
