    The DAILY profits of oil companies could fund every climate scientist in the world for a year. If the science is a hoax, they could easily afford to fund science and scientists to demonstrate that. Yet they haven’t. And won’t. In fact they agree with the science. Why?

    Err, yes you are. That’s exactly what you’re doing.

    I for one would be extremely happy to see the Mail, Sun, Express, Telegraph go out of business and their journalists become unemployable.

    The chances of her ever saying “you know, I was a troubled little girl exploited by a political campaign to perpetuate a hoax on the world, and I’ll be permanently grateful to Julia Hartley Brewer for rescuing me” are precisely ZERO.

    Yes. You’re paid by, associate with, cheerlead for people, organisations, interests that have for at least FOUR DECADES denied there is a problem and knowingly and deliberately obstructed action. The young are right to be outraged at this reckless inaction at their expense.

    A few years ago some guy on Twitter said there was “nothing to it”. He just installed the latest versions of software. No consideration that hundreds of thousands of people worked to design, implement, test, deliver those new versions with Y2K fixed!

    Actually the atom was first split in a British university by a New Zealander. The electric motor and dynamo were invented in Britain. A Scot invented the telephone (in the US), and the WWW was invented at CERN by a Briton. But apart from those points, spot on.

    Total nonsense. You didn’t give, for example, Cliff Richard airtime to challenge allegations. Banks has the opportunity to defend himself to the NCA and, if necessary, court. Your job is to ensure any prosecution is not prejudiced.

    He’s also a notorious climate change denier. At a crucial time when trade has to play a key role in achieving net carbon neutral over the next 30 years. He’s not an expert in trade.

    Not so. Once the UK applies its proposed “points based” immigration system and income requirements on EU citizens then it will be reciprocated. Sounds like you didn’t understand what you voted for.

    There are 20,000 climate scientists in the world. Even if all these 1200 were climate scientists (they’re not, barely a handful are) the. That represents just over 5% of them. Why do you trust them, rather than the overwhelming majority of climate scientists?

    What? No accounting and tax rules? No health and safety? No anti fraud, anti terrorism, anti money laundering, anti drug, laws? No requirement to validate right to work for employees? No requirement for their products to comply with national and international standards?

    You’re an effing backbench MP with no standing or authority to negotiate anything. Who’s funding your travel, as it better not be my taxes? If WTO terms are fine to trade with the EU, why do we need an FTA with the USA?
