The windfall tax is killing future investment. Our largest oil producer, Harbour Energy, has rejected new North Sea oil and gas licences and TotalEnergies, a large French oil company, has also turned down the offer because of the tax. So much for independent UK energy supplies.

We know NHS ambulance response times are often measured in hours rather than minutes so I was surprised to see at least 3 ambulances and 2 emergency response vehicles waiting at Dover to receive migrants from yesterdays Channel emergency. I hope local folk get the same service!

Holiday camps to be used for migrant accommodation. I remember during my early years in the RAF living in barrack blocks and Nissan huts that were cold and bleak. If a complaint was made the often made retort was “this is not a bloody holiday camp lad”. How things change!

Have just watched the M & H Netflix saga through gritted teeth. Left me wondering if Oscars can be awarded for acting in documentaries?

How about some immigration deadlines? A date by which the ECHR is scrapped. A date when a law will be introduced to ensure illegal arrivals will be refused entry. No more statements like “I will do what it takes”. Some targets are needed.

The EU is still importing Russian uranium for its nuclear power stations despite proudly announcing 8 rounds of sanctions against Moscow. The EU continues to finance the war against Ukraine, but quietly!

A message for all anti Brexit tweeters. Ford has announced it is increasing its investment in UK and is forecasting two-thirds of components for all Ford electric vehicles in Europe will be made in the UK by 2026. Despite Brexit!

Figures released today that ambulance response times could mean at worst a 40hr wait, yet a 24hr stay at Manston for illegal migrants is an infringement on their human rights. The mind boggles.

Service vets sleeping on our streets while illegal migrants are housed in hotels. Priorities gone mad. Where are the military charities? British Legion, SSAFA and Benevolent Funds of the RN, Army and RAF? The country has lost its moral compass for its own people.

Well done Roger Bolton, veteran presenter of BBC Radio4 'Feedback' who, when signing off from his very last show, urged listeners to continue asking difficult question and said: 'After all, the BBC belongs to all who pay for it. Not those who are paid by it.' Well said Sir.

I liked a letter to the press recently that read: 'Suella Braverman maybe a lone voice in Parliament but she has millions outside it who agree with her ideas.

The UK economy is shrinking. Never mind folks, we have growth in some areas: NHS waiting lists, food banks, taxes, illegal immigration, energy prices and cost of living. Jeremy and Rishi will sort it out on Thursday!

On Thursday we are all to be told at the budget that we up to our necks in debt, facing recession, austerity and increased taxes will be in prospect. Yet, we are now informed that £11bn is to be given to developing countries for climate change measures. What??

One measure I would like to see in the Budget: the NHS is currently free to anyone who arrives in UK. Many travel here to get free treatment. Charge for NHS care for all visitors and illegals. We may find the workload of a National health service is much less than a World service

The EU pledged in May €9bn in emergency aid to Ukraine. To date only €3bn has been sent. As Ukraine struggles to provide basic services the EU pontificates. Meanwhile, Hungary stands ready to block the EU taking out credit to provide Ukraine aid. EU unity on display once more.

Having lost their sweetheart deal with Russia for energy, Germany now turns to another dictator to boost trade with China. Scholz visits today with a gaggle of business CEOs despite the fears raised by the US and EU leaders.

When does a pledge change into an aspiration? When a politician makes a pledge during a leadership race and it miraculously changes to an aspiration when in office. 3pc defence spend, tax/VAT cuts, scrapping EU laws within 100 days, capping annual migrant numbers etc. Trust?

Talk Julia Hartley-Brewer They arrive without passports, paperwork or any ID. They lie about their age and nationality. They lie about why they seek asylum. It is an invasion of people by any other name

I stand with Suella Braverman MP. The BBC’s Political Correspondent Nick Eardley did the usual yesterday “Questions aren’t going away' routine. Of course not, the BBC want another Tory scalp. The media and left wing commentators are all piling in once more. Give her a chance.
