   Here in the UK Jeremy CHunt has given 22 billion towards carbon capture to soak up 30 million tonnes of co2 each year.
   The uk emits 332 million tons of co2 each year so 30 million is absolute peanuts.

   What a wolly!
   He could build 8675 wind turbines with that money which would generate 52 billion kwh of electricity each year..
   Generating the very thing we actually need and it could be used in place of burning oil..

   52 billion kwh each year is enough to propel 15,600,000 EVs 10,000 miles.
   Or half that amount if converted to hydrogen.
   Just imagine the amount of petrol that would save from going up in smoke…

   Brains of a rocking horse this tory..

   1200kwh of electricity are required to trap 1 tonne of co2.

   Burning 434 litres of petrol releases 1 tonne of co2.

   Doesn't take a genius to work out using the electricity to generate hydrogen or charge your battery makes more sense..

   If you really want to make a difference and what you have done achieves nothing raise the threshold before the low paid have to pay tax they are finding it really tough. This guy has no idea. All bollocks

   Think about this. In the UK there's more people then ever before, more people paying tax, so why raise retirement age to 67 ? Why fresh air tax 56 million pound in fines aline ? Fake fuel crisis generated 17 billion pound in tax while the 105 oil companies in and around the UK made 36 billion pound of unexpected profits ? But you don't hear about this – why not ? How about paying tax and NI all your working life, in my case 50 years for a pissy 200 quid a week while dizzy 45 days Lizzy gets 2600 a week for life ? Unidentified migrants recieved benefits including pension nothing in the media eh, people smuggling into Northern Ireland by this government ? Where are the British people against this government ? This is ridiculous giving you pennies when everything goes up in pounds – anyone

   The problem with ALL politicians across the board is that THEY STILL THINK THAT WE ARE SO STUPID THAT WE SIMPLY DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THE WORLD WORKS LIKE THEY THINK THEY DO!!!

   This is part of the problem, WE KNOW NOT JUST AS MUCH AS THEY DO ABOUT HOW THE WORLD WORKS BUT WE KNOW INFINITELY MORE THAN THEY DO ABOUT HOW THE WORLD WORKS AND YET THEY STILL THINK THAT WE DO NOT UNDERSTAND THAT THEY ARE HELPING ONLY THEMSELVES, NOT THE POPULATION BUT THEMSELVES!!!!

   Its the same old BS OVER AND OVER AGAIN where they “give” with one hand and TAKE ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING ELSE WITH THE OTHER HAND!!!

   Mr chancellor, WE THE BRITISH PUBLIC KNOW EXACTLY HOW YOU POLITICAL CLASSES PLAY YOUR GAMES AND WE KNOW HOW YOU WORK AND IT IS ABOUT TIME YOU STARTED TELLING THE GOD DAMNED TRUTH INSTEAD OF LYING ALL THE TIME!!!!!

   The problem with this "helping family's with the cost of energy" you ARE NOT you are helping fill the pockets of the energy company's you fool!
   The cost of energy sky rockets and you great idea was to give people money for the first few years you help , yet this money goes straight into the pockets of the energy suppliers!.
   Would it not have been a better idea to of invested that money into a cheaper more efficient way to produce energy?
   Am i the only one seeing the flaw in this? Who voted these people to represent us? monkeys.

    He’s the human equivalent of diverticulitis. 🤬 He’s evil, look in his eyes…there’s nothing there, no human empathy of any kind! He bangs on about “long term” but how does that help in the short term when people have lost their homes, starved to death, froze to death, lost their livelihoods. There’s nothing long term about their thinking. If there was we’d not have had 765,000 migrants enter the UK this year. They talk about economic need for migrants…yet our economy is a dumpster fire despite all those migrants, we STILL have shortages of nurses, teachers, doctors, police, paramedics, social care staff etc…weird!

    The UK government takes £182,634,480,000 per year in income tax alone(!) based on a working population of 32.9 million people and an average wage of £27,756 at 20% tax. What is the money being spent on Mr Chancellor?

    My company just gave the employees a 1% bonus which is about £200 for most people. While the senior management team took 19% which is most of our yearly salaries at least. Despite two major failures this year. That’s who tories work for, normal people are stupid to vote for them.

    GB News is giving far too much coverage and some of hit downright misleading, this is not the biggest tax cut since the 80s, for what is actually yet another tax increase by a socialist PM and his Davos-puppet Chancellor.

    The autumn statement is insane.

    Let me try to explain what I believe is really going on.

    Using the completely lame excuse that we must immediately repay the £450 billion that the Covid pandemic cost us (why, when like other national crises, World War II, for example, which took us 61 years to repay, do we have to be in such a hurry?), the government yesterday allowed our tax burden to remain at its highest level since 1948, crushing us all even further. The numerous tinkerings, many of which look beneficial in their own right, even when added together, don’t come near the giant tax burden we have been left with.

    By not unfreezing the stealth tax thresholds that were put in place so that more and more people are dragged into tax and for higher amounts of tax, some £48 billion extra has been created and Sunak and Hunt are using this – not to ease our cost of living burden – but to provide stimulus to business in a way they believe Labour will not be able to match. I have been predicting this for a very long time, and apparently am responsible for the #ToryGaslighting.

    In other words, we, the ordinary British taxpayers are now funding a new growth program that will take years to work its way through before any significant benefits show. This in order to hopefully get the business vote for the Tories.

    This government is so out of touch with and cares so little for ordinary British citizens and working people that they have made this terrible choice and will now make us pay for hoped for future growth of businesses, rather than relieve any of the cost of living burden that we are all currently suffering. They didn’t even take a penny off the triple tax that is fuel duty, where almost all the price of a litre of petrol goes to the government in tax and VAT. Frighteningly, Labour have not made any serious objections to any of this.

    It is shameful and beyond disappointing and I am receiving all kinds of communications asking me how our leaders can be so stupid as to make choices like this. Do they not care or do they think we buy the gaslighting nonsense they’re saying about how good things are and how well we are doing? I am even getting conspiracy theorists saying there must be something very sinister going on, because “nobody could be this dumb or ignorant”.

    Of course you could have tried not throwing all our money away on PPE and tragic vaccines for people who never needed them, whilst betraying the vulnerable people. You could have resisted the enrichment of the war machine, instead of buying all their out of date arms to send to a war that could never be won. You could listen to all the scientists on climate change and realise it's a globalist tool to bring us all into line. Instead you've set us on a path to self-destruction with ever more expensive energy and increased demand through EVs. The NHS is broken and more people have died through neglect than a weak pandemic could ever have taken. Your empty emergency hospitals were icons to this truth. You're all dreadful human beings apart from Andrew Bridgen and a handful of others.

    "its important to look after our vital service" is it? Well if its that important why have you spaffed billions on hotels for immigrants, billions on hs2 project that doesn't even have any benefit to people north of Birmingham and millions upon millions of pounds on ppe that has to be destroyed because it isn't fit for purpose. If I gave anyone else some money to do something useful and they cane back with a similar out come I wouldn't give them anymore of my hard earned money thats for sure, billions of people's taxes spaffed up the wall by government after government, and its not just the tories they are all the bloody same

    Hundred’s of Billions borrowed during a long lockdown period, an illness that never effected the vast majority of the population, Labour condemning the government for opening up the country to soon, meaning Labour would have needed to borrow even more….. PLUS…. the unhinged obsession with Russia, more than 12 packages of sanctions totally backfired especially the SUPPLY OF ENERGY …. YET… it’s the public picking up the tab as usual ….. AND STILL sending billions to the most corrupt country in Europe Ukraine that’s NOT EVEN a member of NATO, nor the EU ….. Legalised Corrupt money laundering at the highest level INCLUDING 450K lives already LOST ….. it’s a bloody disgrace….. The USA INVADED democracy in Ukraine back in 2014 …. But let’s not talk about that like so many other countries around our globe …. WHO VOTED for WW3 ……. NOBODY ……

    If U R treacherously allowing 700,000 immigrants into the country a year then at least build houses for the increasing population. Modern day prefabs maybe? Borrowing to build accommodation will inject growth into the economy as those employed will spend obviously. Then there is the knock on effects from the associated building industry. Even the old post war prefabs were good & still being lived in now as l know someone in one happily. Modern day prefabs could be well insulated costing say about £50,000 each.
