Now they've gone even larger. £1,570/MWh to keep the lights on because there's no solar and sod all wind. Intermittent renewables are at the root of sky high energy prices.

😳 Jimmy Carr weighs in on Russell Brand: “He’s going to jail for something he didn’t do”
Audience: “What do you think about Russell Brand?”
Jimmy: “This is interesting. It’s crazy to think that Russell Brand is going to jail for something he didn’t do… get consent.” 😂
“I think Russell Brand’s views on sex and consent are gonna radically change in the next week.” 😭
Brilliant! Sharp as ever.
Funny thing is, Jimmy played along and encouraged a lot of the things Brand used to say. Not the actual behaviour, just the persona and the jokes.
Makes you wonder if he knew as people keep saying it was an open secret, especially on the comedy circuit. 🤔

At exactly 11am on Remembrance Sunday while the rest of the country stood in silence the Scottish Government’s official account chose to post a cheerful greeting for a Sikh festival instead.
Not a word of remembrance from the government’s own channel at the moment of national silence.
Swinney can call the criticism “disgusting” and “categorically false” all he likes; the timing and the choice were deliberate, or they were recklessly indifferent. Either way, it was contempt.

Annemarie spelling it out clear as day again, yet nobody is listening. Why????
Scotland's latest drug policy triumph: (Drug Checking Service). The doors have barely opened and they're already calling for expansion. Never mind proving it prevents deaths. Apparently, evidence can catch up later.
When did asking whether something actually works become an act of heresy?
My thoughts on today's announcement based on the actual research.
Completely delusional.
The UK's drive for renewable power will help cut energy bills in the long term, Energy Secretary Miatta Fahnbulleh tells BBC Panorama tonight.

Ok this is fucking unhinged.
Brand is now the darling of the far right despite all this occurring while he was the darling of the idiot left.
His ascension must have been a bet gone wrong.
Why dont you go to China and ask them to stop using coal?
How dare you talk about Britain being a 'leader' on the climate crisis - you've just approved a new gasfield!

Gaza has been hit by a ferocious snowstorm.
People are huddled together in ruined buildings, desparately clinging to life.
The Israelis are blocking vital supplies, such as snow ploughs, snow shoes, thermal underwear and ski masks.
Please use the link in my profile to donate money. All proceeds will be spent on raising awareness of Gaza.

This chart illustrates the problem with relying on wind generation... Extended wind lulls plus huge levels of curtailment (the light blue shaded area)
A couple of weeks ago we were throwing away a quarter of the wind we generated
Now we're in the back of a 4-day wind lull... Far longer than any battery can cover
The forecast shows it's going to be another few days before wind gets above 5 GW vs c34 GW installed
We pay £billions in subsidies and £billions in extra grid costs and for what?
The right side is the forecast and illustrates how uncertain it is

Sack the lot.
Will civil servants strike for the right to WFH?
Martin Geissler hears why industrial action could be looming over new work-from-home rules for government employees.

I can’t get over how @lisanandy is warning today against male power exploiting women (in the media) but seems quite sanguine about males who identify as women using their power to dominate & deny women sex-based rights.
How does she make it all add up?

Her delusion
Is destroying our economy.
As #COP31 begins, my message is clear: no country can tackle the climate crisis alone.
Britain will work with countries around the world to tackle the climate crisis, while leading a transition at home that brings down bills, creates jobs and protects our communities.
Guaranteeing Wind a 20 year price at HIGHER than gas prices isnt " lowering bills"

Total gaslighting.
Unreliables like wind means MORE EXPENSIVE bills.
Stop lying to us!!!
Net zero is a scam

These idiots think drilling our own oil and gas means INCREASED emissions.
It will just replace CURRENT imports.
Absolute clowns.
This Wed, MPs are debating a project that would breach the UK’s climate targets & threaten our only shot at a liveable future - Equinor's Rosebank oil field.
It’s a key moment to firm up opposition to this disaster. Email your MP & ask them to attend.
