Renewables are powering 73% of the grid and we're exporting
Glorious 😃
I think it's naive to think that oil will remain above 100 dollars for just a few days. Iran is targeting the oil infrastructure in the Gulf States. That can't be rebuilt rapidly.
I'm guessing the oil price will remain high for the foreseeable future.
I guess if you believe Trump is the second coming of Jesus, who will bring about Armageddon, then this is what you get....
I'm shocked that there are so many gullible, stupid people in the US, and grateful that we have an intelligent government in the UK.
We needed a new boiler, and our 30 year old radiators had started leaking. With the BUS grant of £7,500, the cost of a 12kW heat pump and replacement of 9 radiators came to £5,300.
I think this was less than the cost of a new gas boiler and radiators.
Crude oil prices, showing a very sharp increase in the last day, from around 65 to 101 dollars per barrel..
Oil prices wouldn't be all over the news today if more of our economy was powered by local, secure renewable energy.
This isn't an "energy crisis". It's a fossil fuel crisis.
44% of UK electricity came from renewables in 2025. More of that plus an electrified economy => no more oil shocks.
It doesn’t work like that when:
1) oil infrastructure is blown up
2) the war has already shown the US cannot defend the Gulf states, so shipping risk stays high - pushing up insurance costs too
3) Iran can choke Strait of Hormuz
4) previous wars have seen oil stay high long after war.
Outstanding 😊
What a cult...
Who the hell is this guy? And what does he want as a return on his £millions invested in Reform? Because it sure as shit isn’t a fairer, more progressive, equal and prosperous UK with good public services and well-regulated consumer protections.

so Iran has apparently knocked out and destroyed / disabled to some extent two U.S. THAAD batteries
This is a massive deal. Aside from the expense, this is not a weapon system we just have a ton of lying around. You don't replace these easily.

😳😳😳😳
The US is beyond help. Too many exceptionally stupid people in charge.
The problem is that most of the UK media is owned by a cesspool of "patriotic" billionaire tax avoiders.
Reform are not the Opposition. They have had fewer MPs elected than the Green Party, which had five elected under their banner in this Parliament alone.
STOP. MAINSTREAMING. REFORM.
If the BBC had given them coverage proportional to their actual significance, we would barely know who Farage is.
Is this Goodwin the sex pest?
*30%* ffs. I wonder what that figure would be by now if our media weren’t still almost exclusively populated by intellectually indolent wankers too pompous to admit that they never had the first idea what they were encouraging everyone else to vote for. (With a side of plums who deployed ‘balance’.)
We need to go back to a situation where racism is shameful rather than electorally advantageous.
Plenty have clocked how Nigel Farage talks to women journalists — pure condescension: “listen, love,” “go write your silly little story.” Know your place.
No shock from a man who praises Andrew Tate.
The real surprise? It’s only being called out now.
What is particularly crazy is that right wing nutters from the US post bollocks about London being unsafe. I'm 70 yrs old and visit London often. It's safer than ever and wonderfully multicultural.
I read the article earlier this morning. Absolutely shocking but not surprising, given the chaos inflicted by Trump. This is what happens when you combine Narcissism and Dementia.
I worked from home from 1990 until my retirement a couple of years ago. Rather than use it as an excuse to skive, I found it hard not to put in extra hours. It was an exciting time as the internet developed to the point where remote working became a no- brainer 😊
“Reform’s plan to scrap net zero won’t take a penny off your energy bills. it’ll just hand your wallet over to the gas giants and markets controlled by dictators like Putin”
MAGA, Putin, Orbán, Bannon, Farage, Reform. All the v worst people colluding to screw us over.

He's about as far from being a patriot as it is possible to be. What a low life.
Don't often agree with Piers Morgan
I get why Matt posts this nonsense every day, outrage pays.
None of this is on the current government.
Open borders? Brexit.
Soft-on-crime chaos? Tories.
Highest taxes since the 1940s? Tories.
Shafted pensioners? Tories.
Farmers driven to despair? Brexit.
Hotels for migrants? Brexit + Tory failure.
Wow!
Farage was banging on about Turkish barbers, so these lads in Glasgow did this.
It's in Dumbarton Road, if you fancy a trim.
"But what about China?" has been a throwaway comment made many times to justify inaction on climate change or criticise decarbonisation policies.
Well China is now by far the world's largest manufacturer, installer, and user of clean energy technologies.
