💰The Cost of Renewables 2025 Megathread💰 The Government is pushing the narrative that renewables are cheap and gas is the problem. It's been 18 months since my last thread showed this to be a lie. Have things changed? Or is Ed Miliband driving us towards ruin? 🧵

A very powerful commentary from Kathleen Stock on last night's shameful vote. Whatever our differences on day to day politics, if we can't agree that a late term baby is a human being who has the right not to be killed then we have gone to a very dark place in this country.

And why is it closing? Because energy generated by the products it was making is too expensive for it to carry on doing so. You couldn't have a more perfect proof of why the so-called green "industrial strategy" is not just a nonsense but sctively dangerous for the country.

🇬🇧Happy Waterloo Day to those that celebrate The result was formally communicated to the Commons on 22 June 1815 via a message from the Prince Regent 1/

Ambassador, you're right to use quotation marks, but I think you meant to put them around the word "Conservative" only.

I guess it depends on your definition of the word "negotiating". The EU seem to think that, having fallen for it once, Starmer will keep on making substantive concessions merely to keep the process going. They might well be right about that, since his real aim is not protecting

The Speaker has confirmed that only five 'non Kim' amendments will be voted on on Friday. All these elements of the Bill are now permanent. A 'yes' vote at Third Reading is to accept: 🚨Any doctor can raise ending a patient's life, no matter how vulnerable the patient,

A de facto Government bill pretending to be a private member’s bill, which is appropriate given this is a campaign pretending to be a conversation, a sponsor pretending to be neutral, and no questions death on demand for coerced people pretending to be care.

On Monday after *45 minutes* of debate, the Commons voted that you can kill a baby the day before he or she is to be born, and face no legal consequences. Today the Commons will spend over *5 hours* having "general debates" on "incontinence" and "water safety"

Commons leader Lucy Powell in the chamber: 'We never ruled out having a national inquiry' on rape gangs. This raw untruth was spoken with sepulchral piety.

Floating offshore wind is being offered £245/MWh in AR7, about 3X the current market rate. Any jobs these schemes provide will be subsidised jobs at the expense of proper jobs in the real economy.

Torsten waxing lyrical here, high on the marketing jargon. Makes Net Zero sound like a perpetual Benidorm.

Has Great Britain become the "Yookay"? "What we are living through today, in a phrase, is an unprecedented break in national continuity. As a country we are disconnecting from the old Britain." My The Telegraph column tonight. telegraph.co.uk/gift/f5b26658d…

What a scary prospect. New rules passed in the EU, require political parties to agree to adhere to the EUs "values", without saying what those values are - and the EU can withold funding for any party it deems to not fit to that vague definition. europeanconservative.com/articles/news/…

Thank you Claire Coutinho for taking this up. It is obviously a nonsense, and completely indefensible, to have a consultation in secret on this subject!

Btw if anyone wants to read more about the 'Yookay' concept, then ɖʀʊӄքǟ ӄʊռʟɛʏ 🇧🇹🇹🇩 is the place to start on X.

Well we will try...but it is a very risky strategy. The Bill isn't fit for purpose now and it isn't always, or even often, possible to correct these things in the Lords. Those who are unhappy about how it looks, as I would be, should vote it down now.
