The world has already discovered more coal, oil and gas than it is safe to burn. This is our chance to tell our government to stop new drilling in the North Sea, end licensing for new exploration, and fund a just transition to clean energy. act.globaljustice.org.uk/node/4262?ut...
Tell the UK: No new oil and gas
The UK government has paused making decisions on new oil and gas in the North Sea while it examines how to regulate new drilling. And it’s asking the public for our views.

In the late 90s & early 2000s we in the UK received (very roughly) 80,000 asylum applications per year.
Mainly people escaping Balkan wars.
Today in these “unprecedented” times of “invasion” by small boat… we receive pretty much the exact same numbers.
Had you been taken in?
I wouldn’t blame you.

So, if Farage spends c. 130hrs/month on outside interests and gets paid £120,000 for that, then he won’t be earning his £91,000 MP salary at all. He’ll simply be taking it.
Clacton won’t have an MP serving their interests.
Just a grifter greedily leeching off prejudice and fear.
