We are carnivores, meat is essential for our health and survival

[Bekseju]

We have enough water for the native British population. It is an immigration problem, not a water problem.

[mrsthelens]

[Jukilady]

Goods should transport by rail or water, leave the roads for cars

The best way to sustain healthy soil is to graze animals on it and allow them to fertilise it. The major reasons why soil viability is degrading is due to the change in agricultural methods ie single crops rather than rotation and chemical fertilisers rather than organic fertilisers ie animal poop etc.We need to go back to rotation farming.

Reform will probably treat drivers better.

If the government was totally worried about "water & droughts" desalination plants could be built.

We need dentists thousands are suffering not able to get dental treatment. I know a carer who looks after a special needs boy who is very challenging. she has terrible tooth pain and isn't sleeping right and having to care for someone. And not getting any care for herself. She was registered with a dentist before covid but then her dentist left the surgery. And she has been sat on a waiting list for another dentist. She has now been told theres no dentist coming in so she'll have to go elsewhere. But that is an impossibility at the moment. No where is taking on.

Is the "Honourable Member for the 18th century" the best you could find ?

If you're vegan guest thinks there are only 60 Harvests remaining then he should come to Canada or the USA there's plenty of room in the world to do plenty of whatever you want but we should stop attacking fertilizer it is ridiculous... Germany with their 85 million people would fit at least twice in the province of Alberta which only has four and a half million people... we have plenty of land to grow food on

And this guy also doesn't know his history CO2 has been as high as 7000 parts per million in the history of the Earth when the world was green and flourishing and on average was about 2, 000 PPM today it is just over 400... what we should be doing is protecting our rivers lakes and oceans from effluent and helping the developing World develop proper sewage and sanitation systems... and getting China off of coal over time and onto nuclear power, and bringing water desalination to places that need it.

There's a great book called fossil future by Alex Epstein

Sin tax or syntax? If you expect free healthcare for wittingly consuming in damaging substances then you should pay additional tax for it because I’m not prepared to pay for your healthcare. Alternatively, reduce free healthcare to accident and emergency only.

Howard Cox for Transport Minister at least!😅

Jacob obesity and diabetes could be prevented through a government-led healthy eating campaign, costs which would be recouped and which would otherwise fall on the taxpayer via NHS treatment incurred.
