In any company in the real world in which you and I live and work, if you made a £500 error on a spreadsheet for the business you’d be shown the door.. But in Tory Party, as demonstrated so often during 14 years they were in Govt it’s an achievement which leads to promotion They relish mediocrity❗️

We are currently generating 100% of our electricity demand from net-zero sources, with a further 10% being exported (plus 10% more from legacy gas). At a cost of just £8.27/MWh. Yet the Tories and Refuk want to take us backwards to more fossil fuel pollution and higher prices... grid.iamkate.com
