Another Tory whose ambition dwarfs his ability

.Never had a real job in his life. A diplomat & career politician from a diplomatic family. A wet, weak & feeble fop. This is what now passes as suitable for a Conservatives cabinet. 🙄

Only MPs seem to think spending so much on foreign aid is a good thing.

Thermostats should be set to 19C to help tackle climate change, Government advisers recommendThermostats should be set no higher than 19C, Government advisers have said as they set out plans to tackle climate change by encouraging people to lead green lifestyles. That’s no good if we’re going to address the “climate emergency” and get to zero emissions within 6 yrs. all gas boilers will have to be switched off - permanently - or replaced. We pay our bills. Do NOT dictate to us. The climate has a long history of changing. C02 is a trailing indicator, not leading, and is only 0.045% of atmospheric gases. Governments are lying to justify more control over people.
