‘If AI doesn’t deliver on its promise then we face a double blow to growth: because AI didn’t expand our productive capacity as hoped, and because other investments which might have didn’t take place.’ www.ft.com/content/bf40...

Lots of talk about the "cost of renewables" But have they actually LOWERED the price of electricity we pay TODAY? TLDR; yes, by around a quarter, or £25/MWh That's why it's a mistake to stop investment in them (*cough* certain politicians). eciu.net/analysis/rep...

I've come to believe that waste and contamination are *the* key salient issue when it comes to fossil fuels. I mean that practically, in that these substances are inescapably toxic and often cancer-causing. But also politically. No one wants to live near them, once they understand what they are.

When I started working on UK energy in 2007, fossil fuels provided ~78% of electricity. Coal alone: 34%. Wind & solar: less than 2%. Today: wind & solar 33%, fossil fuels 28%, coal 0%. The chart below tells the story better than words can.

Mick North's five year old daughter Sophie was murdered 30 years ago along with 15 other children and their teacher at Dunblane's primary school. He has called on Nigel Farage to renounce his description of the UK's handgun ban as 'ludicrous', but Farage refuses. @eddavey.libdems.org.uk #PMQs

This shocking illegal M25 waste site has kept growing - and it now threatens the River Thames
The "absolutely heartbreaking" landfill looks unrecognisable from what it once was. It could soon spill into the River Roding, London's third biggest river.

Tbh, saying he should apologise is part of the problem. They should have opened it with, if you've got something to say about the country then you should pay tax here.

This is bleak: Jes Staley, currently CEO of Barclays, reassuring Epstein that popular revolt against financial elites is unlikely because capitalism and pop culture have defanged social movements, leaving people more invested in consumption than justice.

How the Mandelson-Epstein fiasco was allowed to happen is one of the reasons I have always found Westminster an entirely bewildering place It’s not a place where people live in reality Often, it’s this toxic in-between world that straddles fantasy and reality There are those who genuinely care

The problem with diagnosing "the electorate have unreasonable expectations around tax and spend" is that those expectations did not develop in a vacuum. They are the product of decades of politicians and the media telling them they can have x services with y tax levels, or not contradicting it.

London has hit a HUGE milestone in the fight for clean air by finally meeting legal levels of air quality. It is a win for all who live & work in London: better health & wellbeing, fewer sick days & less pressure on the NHS.

After nearly a decade of negligent Conservative energy policy that sent bills soaring, the right energy policies will be able to send them back down and cut them in half within ten years. Energy policy in service of the British people, not a Farage policy in service of Putin.
