Isn’t he referring to extinction rebellion there when they superglue themselves to the road? He defended the Greenpiece activists under freedom of speech laws regarding leaflets they were handing out regarding the practices of McDonalds. Not sure it’s the same thing. Either way the point...

I was reminded recently that Starmer represented 2 green piece activists pro bono in what was apparently known as the longest libel case in British history (some 10 years) against McDonalds. Quite a famous case known as McLibel. Sorry but if you think someone who would do that is anything like...

Just read about this. Cheesey but Sunchyme is me and the wife’s song. When we first started dating we couldn’t go out without hearing it as it was massive at the time so it kind of became our song. Coincidentally it’s our wedding anniversary today.

I was quoting this article https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cmjjy17284vo.amp Either way the point still stands the more you bring renewables on line while phasing out nuclear and fossil bills should come down.

Labour have never claimed to save you £1400 on your electricity bill with green energy. They have claimed that they will save you £300 though by decarbonising electricity generation. It’s not even that controversial if you look at the cost of producing electricity by each means. Renewables are...

As a rough rule of thumb those most concerned with immigration also tend to delve into climate change denial. See any reform party spokesperson as an example. So you’re talking about a scenario that they don’t believe in. To them it’s just all project fear, we’ve had enough of experts etc.

Finally the polls narrow. Not how Sunak was banking on but they have narrowed.

Just read that the overnight data on NHS waiting lists has gone up again after Sunak was bragging last night they were coming down. Can’t believe he wasn’t aware of the latest statistics last night before he claimed that they were coming down. Also don’t buy for a minute that he hasn’t seen Ed...

Not the worst but still lacks creativity of major and fairer tax reforms like the Greens. And they’re needed to implement real change. I’ll still lend them my vote, I just wish greens had a better chance of winning my seat, or alternatively labour had no chance at all so I didn’t have to choose...

You may be right on regulations but Hinckley is an existing nuclear site so I don’t think nimbyism was too much of a problem. You’re 100% right that we’re shit at large infrastructure especially high speed rail though. Japan can build high speed rail far cheaper than us even when the majority...

And even if we built at the SK costs price per Mwh it’s still more than renewable's in the UK. SK produces nuclear at about £22 per Mwh, renewables in the UK produces at between £10-20 per Mwh depending on the type of renewable. Hinckley Point C is going to produce at about £128 per Mwh. The...

Hardly. Hinckley is overdue and over budget, that’s just fact and not a little bit either. EDF, the other partner in it is apparently taking a £10B hit and has pretty much said it isn’t getting involved in another project which brings you onto another issue I didn’t mention before but how likely...

Interesting interview with Andrew Marr

I think there’s big plans in Morocco to do just that. It’s uniquely placed for wind too with a long Atlantic coastline and a dependable amount of wind. Longer term plans apparently include battery ships that will charge in Morocco sail to another country and then discharge into said countries grid.

I see there’s been an arrest in the PPE Medpro case. Curiously a 46 year old man so that rules out Michelle Moans Husband. The plot thickens.

The nuclear solution is overstated. Look at Hinckley Point C. Over budget and overdue. Final bill is expected to be over 4 times the original estimate. The idea was first conceived in 2010, was supposed to be completed by 2020 and now it doesn’t look like it will be finished by 2030. Then...

Through dictatorship ;)

Add it to the cost of fuel at the pump. I’m sure some boffin could work out a formula to do just what you propose. Then whoever buys the more fuel, stands to reason that they’re either using the roads most or have a gas guzzling/polluting vehicle.

The Greens have bought a few things into the mix Firstly they’ve demonstrated perfectly how loaded the tax system is against working class people. Secondly in England at least they the only mainstream party that’s radical. Thirdly they’re the only socialist party you can vote for in England...
