UN's climate chief clearly *furious* with Rishi Sunak's u-turns on climate policies. The optics (and politics) of this are just terrible from all sides - unless you are a Tufton St lobbyist. This will be how history books remember Sunak. So odd that he can't see that
Replying to @edking_I
@simonstiell, @UNFCCC boss “No G7 Country has yet ‘over delivered’ on climate. On the contrary there is a lot more action needed, specifically from them. Is turning away from climate action in 2023 really leadership?”

OK this garbage has to stop @grantshapps Let's take a closer look at these claims 1 by 1 with a 🧵 There are 5 claims that N Sea oil & gas licencing is good for: 1. bills 2. economy 3. security 4. climate 5. bankrolled by Just Stop oil funder 1/10
This is a crazy policy. Labour’s plan to ban new oil and gas would be a disaster for your bills, the UK economy, national security and the climate. And now we know it’s bankrolled by the same donor who funds Just Stop Oil as they cause misery to people's lives.

Riding the 'flatlands' of Cambridge. This box canyon is on Trumpington Rd - a major road in and out of the City. Come on @CambsCC, can't you sort these dangerous caverns out? #potholes #RoadSafety #cycling

Rishi Sunak - "Northern Ireland is in the unbelievably special position... in the entire world... in having privileged access to the UK home market... but also the European Union single market... nobody else has that... only you guys" in Northern Ireland. 🤦

Fresh madness. #energyprices
GAS MARKET: European natural gas closes at a fresh all-time high after rising >10% today (both for UK NBP and Dutch TTF benchmarks). At the close, European gas was at the equivalent of ~$29 per mBtu, or close to $170 per barrel of oil equivalent. Yes, you read that correctly.

Three more energy companies have closed today. That's 5 in two weeks; 10 in two months and 12 this year. Does anyone else, other than our govt, think this is ok for consumers and the sector? Ofgem is going to run out of 'another supplier' to move people to soon.
ENSTROGA @EnstrogaUK Igloo Energy @MyIglooEnergy and @SymbioEnergy have stopped trading. You don't need to worry: ✅ Ofgem will now move you to another supplier ✅ You'll still have gas and electricity ✅ Take a meter reading ❔ Your questions answered: ow.ly/7xE250GiAPq

So sorry to see Igloo, one of the better indie energy companies, go and with such good grace too. 😢 igloo.energy/blog/igloo-ener…

But it is NOT the 1970s.
🚨🚨BREAKING 🚨🚨Oil major BP tells British government that some of its UK fuel stations have run out gasoline and diesel due to supply-chain problems (read there, a shortage of truck drivers). In a statement, BP says: "We are experiencing some fuel supply issues" #OOTT $BP

Kwasi Kwarteng says he won't bail out 'failing' energy suppliers on @BBCr4today @MishalHusain without a hint of humility that his price cap policy is contributing to their collapse. Companies fail when they're not allowed to charge for the cost of goods sold - his policy.

Best piece so far untangling the various strands leading to such high gas prices. And an excellent conclusion: we need more renewables and less fossil fuel to build a stable, low cost system.
