If any were tempted to feel sympathy for the freshly ejected Tory MPs, #Skidmore of Kingswood was coauthor of 'Britannia Unchained' with fellow young turk fantasists Kwarteng Raab Truss & Patel & as deluded as the worst; no credit for jumping just before pushed, leaving the almighty mess for others to address.
Massage importuner Brexit #Bone of Wellingborough was an old-school Tory pervert wrapping his cadaverous inadequacy in the Union Flag, until letting it drop in the hotel. Good riddance.

Conservative MP Chris Skidmore resigned in protest of the #UK government's plan to expand gas and #OilDrilling in the North Sea, contradicting global efforts to shift away from #FossilFuels.

#Skidmore urged investment in renewables and criticized the move for undermining climate leadership.

This adds pressure on the UK and calls for the US Department of Energy to pause LNG export licenses, highlighting the urgency of addressing the environmental crisis.

Real #Political #Courage

Earlier today, #ChrisSkidmore #Skidmore, a Conservative MP and former Secretary of #Energy in the Tory government, announced his resignation from Parliament. Why?

Because next week that government, led by Rishi Sunak, is going to try and open up the #NorthSea Sea to a huge new wave of #oil and #gas #drilling

It’s as if a #Republican #Senator said, I’m not running again because my party has become a subsidiary of the #fossil fuel industry.

We may surmise things may have become a bit tense at the #Skidmore Christmas dinner table, like;

"Wtf are you even still doing Dad in a party that wants to deport refugees to Rwanda, is expanding fossil fuel production, building dual carriageways all over the place, and whose only Brexit benefit is wine in pints !?"

UK Conservative lawmaker quits, criticizes government's climate plans

"The [Sunak] government aims to pass a new bill guaranteeing annual licencing rounds for #OilAndGas exploration in the North Sea.

#Skidmore said that as the energy minister who signed Britain's net zero pledge into law in 2019, he could not vote for a bill that promotes the production of new oil and gas."

#COVID vaccinations are safe and save lives.

Remember that study from January by an #MSU economist named #Skidmore that purported to find a huge number of excess deaths due to COVID vaccines?

It's been #retracted.

COVID #vaccination is safe and effective.
