Darren Grimes puts forward his alternative six-point plan

well prime minister boris johnson you heard in the news there has drawn up a six-point plan that aims to end the horror of war in ukraine and defeat bad vlad and the russian federation it's a crisis that's transformed the prime minister from looking as though he'd be a one-hit wonder frankly with a massive election victory only to lose it all over party gate he's now back back again folks to being a man right for the moment leading the global response it has to be said to that invasion with i think the clarity of purpose and a nation united behind him quite remarkable scenes actually no one thought that was coming certainly the remainers didn't predict it that's why i think it's time for the prime minister to make the case that the dangers this nation has faced the coronavirus pandemic and now the threat of nuclear holocaust with a territory season russia mean it's time to get serious on bolstering our self-reliance as a nation we don't in my view grow enough build enough or rely on ourselves enough because we're not able to we found out during the pandemic that were much too reliant upon chinese supply chains china lied and people died yet we're still totally dependent on them for our everyday goods we're now finding out during this war that we're much too reliant on others for our energy needs and even our food supply isn't it time that we look to bolster britain's production of such important things nigel farage and richard thais of reform uk have actually been making the case and launching the vote power not poverty campaign across party campaign for a net zero referendum a campaign that i reckon could be as electorally disastrous for the prime minister as the eu referendum was for david cameron of course nigel farage played a pretty big role in bringing that about as well my six-point plan folks where i'd have one would go something a little like this first of all the prime minister ought to reverse the ban on fracking the extraction of shale gas we know that there's a golden opportunity a rich seam of high quality gas that can be used to heat our homes and power our economy it means high quality high skill jobs right here in blighty our economy is said to be hobbled by the extraordinary increase in the price of gas just have a look at these stats from the spectator magazine's data section surely right surely you cannot look at this you cannot imagine the harm that these prices are going to cause you cannot not imagine the businesses that are going to go under with the costs this high and conclude that pursuing net zero and cementin which is what's going to happen folks cementing over our fracking sites is a sensible thing to do boris i see it if come on mate it's time to get frack on track fracked to our greener future or fracking hell folks are we in for one hell of a ride even elon musk the ceo of tesla modes the world's most successful electric car entrepreneur has called on leaders to increase oil and gas output immediately he says that extraordinary times demand extraordinary measures despite the fact that this would of course negatively impact his electric car company he warns that what can it immediately make up for russian oil and gas exports secondly i'd stop the closure of coal power plants controversial i know but we need to accept that we need to elongate the bridge to that greener cleaner britain the west is at war right we cannot afford to force our nation to choose between heaton and eaton at this time or frankly ever thirdly that means that we need to delay the prime minister's net zero by 2050 target this arbitrary target that i think binds our hands and asphyxiates our legislative flexibility on everything from a hit to our economy to rules and regulations fourth i'd scrap foreign aid it's quite clear to me that we ought to be spending less money on projects like the ethiopian spice girls remember that one or on spending money sending that money to those who are allying themselves with either china or russia when we ought to be ensuring that her majesty's armed forces are able to defend our nation from the series of threats that we now face in an increasingly dangerous world and that segues nicely into my fifth ask i'd spend way more dosh on building and expanding our military recruits i'd scrap the prime minister's proposed tax rises and the green taxes on our energy bills we ought to be going for growth to attract business and create access to opportunities whilst alleviating the burden on households that are letting out a collective gasp as they open their energy bills as through these weeks and months the west is at war right it's it's it's about time that we took that as seriously as i put it and put in place a plan to deal with it people need help and they need it now they don't need lofty sound bites about how a country that emits a mere 1 of global co2 emissions is going green so my final point of action is just that action and that's my six point plan folks
