We spent a record £561m balancing the power grid in October, the second record month in a row.
Balancing costs this autumn have passed £1bn, and NESO forecasts put 2026 close to £4bn.
There are two things are driving it 🧵

Still the most accurate depiction of trying to give women the help they need.
For anyone curious why 90%+ of pilots are male despite the airlines and military pulling every trick in the book to get them to apply and qualify...
It mostly comes down to a specific kind of spatial processing and memory that flying demands. It's best thought of as the mental skill of tracking where things are in 3D space while everything is moving. This includes you and your aircraft.
It's not just remembering a map or rotating a static shape in your head, but continuously updating positions, directions, and movements in real time.
This might mean keeping a clear mental picture of your plane’s attitude, where the runway is relative to you, how fast things are changing and coordinating your hands (and feet) to match all that while the outside world is moving and your instruments change.
Military pilot selection has tested this kind of functional spatial tracking and coordination for decades and is probably the most extensive data-set available.
On their tests, on average men outperformed women by more than a full standard deviation. That means the average man is scoring much higher than the vast majority of women.
Typically you would have to be in the 90th percentile or higher of ability to qualify as an airline pilot. 95th or better for military; higher again for something like a fighter pilot.
Given the standard deviation gap above, that means out of 100 men and 100 women applying for civilian piloting, about 10 men might pass but less than one woman per 100.
You can’t fix this with diversity hiring, women-only shortlists, coaching / training or even lowering the bar. Most of the difference is attributable to hardwired sex and brain differences.
For example, prenatal testosterone is much higher in male babies while still in the womb and permanently changes the connectivity in certain parts of the brain (parietal lobe, hippocampus) to make it better at 3D rotation, navigation, and tracking.
Put simply, men evolved for long-range hunting and large-scale wayfinding, so much so that our brains are heavily specialised towards this even before we pop out into the world.
It isn't a question of fairness, it's a question of specialisation; you cannot be good at everything. Men evolved to be better at this than women overall.
I'm told police leave has been locked down nationally from 1 June to mid-July next year. That's eight months' notice.
So what's on?
The G7 isn't here. The US hosts it in 2027, and our turn is 2028.
The football Euros aren't here either. That's June 2028.
The G20 in Manchester isn't until 27-28 November 2027.
So what are they expecting next summer?
And if it's just ordinary demand, have we really got so few officers that summer leave has to be cancelled before it's even booked?

This is so well said.
Ed McLaren (@Anglican_Gonzo) destroys Matt Goodwin for his politically correct celebration of ‘model minorities’ on the latest episode of The Forge with @Con_Tomlinson and yours truly 🔥
Link to the full episode below.
Exactly what I've been saying for a long time; you cannot 'fix' these people. Their moral compass hasn't just been calibrated wrongly it's been completely destroyed.
You'll note that this is done deliberately at an early age to most; it's the prime reason they went after and fully captured the school and university system (at least in the states).
Working at Oculus would have been an utter waste of my time except for one thing.
While I was there, I realized what's wrong with leftists.
Not that they have been programmed, that's obvious. Not why they have been programmed. For power, that's obvious, too.
But how they have been programmed.
The exact method that their moral compass has been destroyed works like this:
Target a bunch of people with very few deeds and accomplishments, such as young people or incompetent people, or incompetent young people.
Create for them an environment where they are rewarded with moral approval, not for what they do, but for believing certain ideas.
The ideas don't have to be outrageous, or absurd, or have anything to do with what you actually need them to believe. In fact, it's better to start with something innocuous.
Why? Because the goal isn't to install those beliefs at all. The goal is to repeat this process until you create a person who measures his moral worth by what he believes, not what he does.
Keep at this until you have created a mass of people who not only reward themselves with a feeling of moral superiority for believing the right things, but who will reward each other for believing orthodox things, and who will compete with each other, not to do the most good, but to have the most orthodox beliefs.
Now, change one of the propositions you have programmed them with to a slightly more radical version of itself, and hold this up as a more correct version of the old belief, which has been newly discovered by scholarly investigations into culture and moral philosophy.
Sit back, watch, and give them a few weeks to compete with each other to adopt the new belief, and to condemn the "evil" of anyone who believes the old belief, the very thing they believed last month.
Repeat this process until they are used to rapidly changing their entire belief system in response to an external cue.
Congratulations, you have a population of entirely programmable people whose moral compass is not just broken, but entirely non-existent.
They don't care what any person in front of them actually does. Only that he believe the orthodox thing, which they just learned about in last week's memo.
They are willing to do anything, so long as it is done in support of their current belief system, which can be replaced whenever it's convenient to do so.
They are willing to burn down an entire city with no qualms whatsoever if they are doing it in support of the idea that black lives matter.
They are willing to murder a man in front of his children, and it doesn't matter if his actions were entirely peaceful and good, because all that matters to them is whether he believes the correct things or not.
And a man who builds cheap spaceflight for the human race, develops viable electric cars to save the environment, restores voices to the voiceless, and plans, for his next trick, to heal the blind... well, all those are deeds, so none of them matter. The only thing that matters is that he told people to vote republican once, which is wrongthink.
So what you have a horde of communist zombies, who can be steered to shuffle in any direction and attack the living, eat their brains, and turn them into more zombies.
Once someone becomes one of the zombies, you can't cure him, because a moral compass can only be repaired by understanding the consequences of actions in a new way... and they don't care about actions or consequences. They only care about beliefs, and not about consequences at all.
Their moral compasses aren't just broken. They are absent. There's nothing to repair.
You have to understand that the zombies are zombies now.
Interesting re. rival counter-elite formation, but still all within the existing system; it'll all get far more interesting when we reach the tipping point.
One of the things I've said repeatedly, which people keep forgetting, is that JD Vance was originally a product of the Obama-Chicago-Pritzker Democrat machine and that he was designed to be a Democrat Presidential candidate. JD Vance came out of the network which is now attacking him.
Behind the scenes, all of these people know each other, and it's all intensely personal.
He was supposed to be Bill Clinton 2.0, a moderate Democrat candidate.
That's what the multiracial marriage was about. It was supposed to be a symbolic political marriage union between America's 2 key groups, America's past and America's future: the white working class (traditional Blue Dog Democrat Bill Clinton voters) and the immigrant Obama voter base (Usha Vance, as a credentialed second-generation immigrant brown woman who clerked for Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, and as a woman who attended Cambridge and Yale Law School, was supposed to represent an aspirational rolemodel of an immigrant family rising to be an American elite).
It was the Democrat media which promoted JD Vance. It was the Democrat media which promoted his book "Hillbilly Elegy" and turned it into a Netflix big budget film directed by Ron Howard and starring Amy Adams. It was the Democrat patronage network which built JD Vance up as a reaction to President Trump, in an attempt to capture Trump's white working class voter base. The union vote and Rustbelt vote which Obama had alienated.
On February 9th, 2017, at the University of Chicago Institute of Politics, JD Vance taped an interview with Obama's top advisor, David Axelrod, about why President Trump had been elected and how the Democrat Party could potentially recapture the low-propensity white working-class Rustbelt union vote. To rebuild the Bill Clinton political coalition.
JD Vance was supposed to be the new Bill Clinton. That's why the Democrats were building him up as their champion.
Democrats went all-in on transgender child castration, deindustrialization, mass migration, and genocidal hatred towards whites. They believed they didn't need white voters anymore. This is why JD Vance flipped to the Peter Thiel network and later went from Trump enemy to being incorporated into the Trump MAGA coalition.
When President Trump picked JD Vance, he was taking a former Democrat presidential candidate and incorporating one of his biggest competitors into his own power base. Very Lincoln-esque, "Team of Rivals".
President Trump has been incorporating all of the best ex-Democrat talent: Elon Musk, Tulsi Gabbard, RFK Jr., Marc Andreessen, Mark Zuckerberg, Chamath Palihapitiya, Shaun Maguire, Bill Ackman, Larry Fink, etc..
Scott Bessent was George Soros's Top Guy, now he's President Trump's ferocious homosexual loyalist.
Democrats abandoned their historical political constituencies and accidentally pushed all their best talent to the other team. They created a rival counterelite coalition which is now destroying them.
