The Mass Migration Experiment Has Failed For years, global elites have pushed mass migration as the solution to economic growth, labour shortages, and diversity. However, reality tells a different story. Communities overwhelmed – Public services are stretched beyond capacity, housing shortages have worsened, and crime rates have risen. Cultural divisions – Integration policies have failed, leading to parallel societies rather than cohesive communities. Economic strain – The promised financial benefits have not materialised, with many host nations facing increased welfare costs and social instability. What was sold as an enriching experiment has instead created chaos and division. The British people were never asked – yet they are the ones paying the price. #MassMigration# #FailedExperiment# #BritainFirst# #ReformUK#

Today, the EU has a new Commission Vice-President designate, @Teresaribera , charged with implementing the #EUGreenDeal# We look forward to the preparation of the decarbonisation architecture for 2040 - a must-have for ensuring that the EU stays on track towards climate-neutrality by 2050 at the latest, emerges from fossil fuel dependency, and combats energy poverty. @vonderleyen also announced the Commissioner-designate for #energy# and #Housing#, @DanJoergensen We are delighted that the @EU_Commission took note of our open letter (https://t.co/p8vrtlgOu1) in July and made #heatingandcooling# a focus of the new mandate. We hope @DanJoergensen will accelerate the #EnergyTransition# in line with the pace needed to meet #EUClimateGoals#. He is also housing commissioner, and must ensure the provision of decarbonised and affordable housing as central to a #JustTransition#. The design of the new EU financial framework, including the Social Climate Fund and Just Transition fund, will be a crucial factor, along with the Clean Industrial Deal and new state aid guidelines to accelerate the rollout of #renewables#, #cleantech# and skills as announced by @vonderleyen The just-announced Citizens Energy Package must ensure that people are truly empowered to form #energycooperatives# for #heatingandcooling# along with other measures that mean people can benefit from the #energytransition#. Read the open letter we sent to President von der Leyen in July: https://t.co/p8vrtlgOu1 Decarbonised and renewable #heatingandcooling# (H&C) will be central to achieving the #energytransition# as H&C is almost half the energy we use, but the share of clean renewable energy keeping our homes comfortable is currently only 6%. What’s more, at the current rate of H&C decarbonisation it would take until 2050 to reach the legally binding 2030 target!! Dedicated action on H&C has never been more needed. It’s time to #HeatRight#
