Tax, tax, tax, tax, tax! Everyone is being taxed to death under Labour. And they are about to hike taxes on working people AGAIN to give more handouts to those on benefits. Our Cheap Power Plan ...

For years Ed Miliband has peddled the myth that North Sea gas is all ‘sold abroad’. This is RUBBISH. All of the gas we get from the North Sea is used in the UK and it’s about half of our supply. ...

Starmer needs to put Ed Miliband back in his box. We should back British industry over dirtier imports. Use the North Sea rather than higher emission foreign gas. And make electricity cheap. Com...
