"My monologue on Tories in the land of the living dead on The Times at One with Andrew Neil on @TimesRadio As the Tories gather in Manchester for a conference they hope will rescue them from the land of the living dead one fact is salient above all others. In the general election of July 2024 they scored their lowest share of the vote ever at 24%. Just when they thought it couldnt get worse than that it did. The Tories are now around XX% in the polls. Far from challenging a deeply unpopular Labour government for first place theyre struggling to avoid fourth place behind the Liberal Democrats."

"Wind is this morning meeting less than X% of our electricity needs and a mere X% of total electricity generating wind capacity is currently being utilised simply because there is so little wind. Yes I know there are days when wind generates much more. But until ways are devised of storing at scale and economically the electricity generated on these days that is frankly irrelevant. The huge cost of alternative back up generation (eg gas) for days like this is only one of many reasons why claims that renewables generate the cheapest electricity are disingenuous. Yet politicians and the Grifters"

"It is one of the great scandals of our time. Drax which generates electricity by burning trees imported as pellets from North America is more expensive than gas more polluting than coal and more dependent on imports than oil. Yet it is incredibly designated as sustainable biomass pocketed 870m in subsidies last year and will likely trouser another X billion subsidies over the next four years all to allow Ed The Zealot Miliband to include Drax in his net zero calculations. Not just a scandal but an expensive scandal for the taxpayer"

"UK GDP declined XXX% in May after XXX% decline in April. Looks like Q2 will show decline overall. So perhaps ministers can now stop spouting nonsense about being the fastest growing economy in the G7. As some of us have pointed out it was always going to look a forlorn boast with a very short life. Its clear growth in Q1 boosted by activity being brought forward for which were paying the price in Q2. Overall GDP is broadly flatlining at below the OBR's forecasts which means trouble for government revenues (which are based on OBR forecasts). And GDP per capita on which so much of the"

"Keir Starmer claims Nigel Farage is to blame for the boat people because Brexit took us out of the Dublin Convention (in 2020) which allowed us to return asylum seekers to the EU countries from whence they came. The PM is either ignorant of the facts or knowingly lying. Neither is a good look. The Dublin Convention was a two-way street for asylum seekers. Yes we could try to return them. But others could also be returned to us. As a result the Dublin Agreement actually made us a net recipient of asylum seekers. Take 2018. We made 5500 requests for asylum seekers to be returned. Only 209"
