Bottom line you still now would not start planning to HQ your EU operations in London based on the speech but give it a bit and at least hold off on implementing the last of a Brexit windup. 100

Edward Taylor @equilibrium.bike · 01/10/2026Hi! I think I clicked on the wrong link as I thought I'd done it before, so it turns out I'm Olaf Scholz, which I'm pretty sure I'm not but there were a lot of questions about protectionism and militarism. I'm ok with being France though. 120

Edward Taylor @equilibrium.bike · 01/10/2026As I understand it, GB Grid's new assets can be projects (such as long DC cables, new large demand projects etc. ) connecting to NGET's existing HV network. So it will be building and connecting some large 400kV assets in competition with NGET, pulling from the queue. Does that make sense to you? 100
