🚨Labour’s Bill Would Let Energy Firms Dig Into Your Tax Records and House Value So They Can Charge You Extra to Subsidise Others
Energy Secretary Miatta Fahnbulleh introduced the Energy Independence Bill last week that would hand energy companies access to eight government databases, including your HMRC tax and income records, child benefit, property value and pensions.
This is a major expansion beyond the limited fuel-poverty data they already get. Official assessments openly plan “progressivity”: discounts for some households paid for by extra levies on those judged better off.
Nothing happens until the bill passes and ministers create a scheme through further legislation.
Her department calls it targeting support. The unmistakable purpose is giving private firms the power to inspect your private finances and raise your bill to subsidise everyone else.
This is not support. It is a deliberate decision to treat your private tax records and property value as legitimate tools for deciding who gets charged more, then hand that power to private energy companies.
Once the machinery exists, Labour will expand it. The only real question is how far they intend to go.
Is this wise during an ongoing trial?
When will a def convicted raise this as an appeal point?

Gary Oldman reveals he flew between Los Angeles and London 27 times while filming Batman just to be with his children.
Gary Oldman: “I was a single dad, and I didn’t really want to leave the kids for too long.”
He asked Nolan if he could fly to London, film his scenes, and return home whenever there was nothing else needed on set.
Gary Oldman: “If everything’s cool, you know where I’ll be. I’ll get in the car, I’ll go to the airport, I’ll fly home, and then I’ll see you Thursday.”
“I think I ended up doing 27 round trips on the first Batman.”
“I embraced the feeling that you have when you’re going back and forth, you’ve been on a long flight. I just thought, ‘I can actually use this to my advantage.’”

BOMBSHELL
Fossil Fuels Did NOT Cause the CO2 Rise.
New peer-reviewed paper just dropped. 500 years of data. The verdict is in.
Fossil carbon's contribution to rising CO2:
effectively ZERO.
The entire IPCC/NASA/NOAA/EPA climate narrative rests on a claim that just got mathematically falsified.
Read it.
Share it.
The cover-up is over.

As she points out, “Brexit has made us poorer, weaker and less secure.”
This debate is moving very quickly now. The Brexiteers have lost control.

We have 24,000 climate & energy datasets from agencies around the world - none show any change in climate
They show ongoing inherent natural variation and natural cyclical variation
No agency, university, government, UN agency, group or individual has provided the Empirical Scientific Data in Logical Scientific Points proving that Carbon Dioxide from Human activity affects global climate and needs to be cut
Under my cross-examination, the CSIRO climate research team admitted in 2016 that they have never claimed that carbon dioxide from human activity is a danger

Why does our media refer to " Ex-UVF " Billy Hutchinson or former " UFF " commander Jonny Adair when reporting stories here.
But never refer to " Ex-IRA " Gerry Kelly or former "IRA " women Caroline Cullen.
