Rupert's approach is effective. He's using an argument that GB News viewers will engage with - energy companies ripping you off - rather than the environmental benefits of renewables.

Why not hit back against the dishonesty of the press? There's plenty of false stories on climate change, campaigners, etc. I can think of specific examples warranting retractions. Why not use your influence to set up a unit of volunteers to take them to IPSO over everything? Shut down their lies.

USA faces high tariffs from developing countries, but this is because they need to protect their manufacturing sector and enable its growth. USA had protectionist policies when it was developing; 30-40% tariff from 1865-1890.

It's time for UK to hit back with an export tax on tea bound for USA. Especially Boston!

This has gone too far! Penguins need to hit back with retaliatory tariffs.

Roads were also blocked in Mozambique in 2018. Following Hurricane Idai, reporters couldn't enter villages because roads were blocked by corpses deposited by floodwater. 1,600 died. This is the reality of climate change; not having 10 minutes added to your shopping trip when JSO halt traffic.

Stop blaming Mike Waltz for adding the journalist to the chat. Any Signal group member can do so.

It was group member "VVP" who added J Goldberg

Nice that MAGA is bringing more transparency to government

The answer is simple; Trump is stupid. For him all is personal, not political. There are no grand plans, other than self-aggrandizement. Whoever strokes his ego the best wins.

Tell him, saving the planet will stamp his footprint in the geology and make him more popular than Jesus. That'll do it.

They'll also need to factor in reduced arms sales to Europe.
March 4, 2025 at 2:20 PM
That's why Trump wants Canada, Greenland and Central America.

Arms sales - an argument Republicans will listen to.

Bullying Zelenskyy, threatening to block StarLink - if Europe loses confidence in the USA, this WILL hit US arms sales
