A fine May Day in North Norfolk. Painting in progress, listening to Timeless Flight - Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel. In my all time top 10 albums. Feeling sad he's no longer around 😕 #steveharley

So Ladies & Gentlemen most of us have to wait until 66yrs to 67yrs for our Pensions as government can no longer afford to pay it earlier.

Humza Yousaf who is 39yrs, yes 39yrs old can draw half his salary of £52,000 as a pension from tomorrow & taxpayers will pay for it.

The best thread you’ll see today…

The DEI officer who caused this harassment is now at sport England, explains why it’s been so hard to get sport England to stand up for female athletes ..

Most of the asylum seekers initially earmarked for deportation to Rwanda cannot be immediately located, the Home Office has admitted, but we haven't lost them, they'll definitely turn up for the flights. OK then.

Brutal.

This is a huge deal. Exemplary damages are very rare in the employment tribunal. Theyre used to signal extreme disapproval of egregious behaviour, in this case by Social Work England, the regulator. Whoever gave SWE legal advice that didn't consist of 'you've massively screwed…

So Ireland sending illegal migrants to the UK is seen as possible and reasonable but the UK sending illegal migrants back to France is seen as cruel and unfeasible. 🥴

The Employment Tribunal ends Stonewall law.

GB grid performance w/c 15 Apr 2024
our-energy-future.com/RecentPerforma… Wind supplied ~34.5% of GB Grid demand, although for part of 4 days nuclear generated more than wind. Coal was burnt every day. Gas had to deal with the peaks when wind 'lulled'.

A very informative thread.

Looking at Burbo Bank, a CfD-funded wind farm shows the market value of its output fell to £11.90/MWh on 23rd March. But it received a top up subsidy of £197/MWh to maintain its revenue of £209/MWh. We pay for that subsidy while Agile Octopus get the energy for free (6/n)
