3/ It is a classic “alliance of elite and mob” (Arendt).

4/ By agglomerating refugees, Muslims and Roma people as the primary targets, the police and Keir Starmer as the secondaries, the perpetrators are acting on the Great Replacement theory myth. This is the hallmark of global fascism…

5/ The rioters and their elite supporters are playing a political game: to convert as many Reform and right-wing Tory voters as possible to a “strategy of tension” and active resistance to the government. That is useful to Russia and therefore Russian bots amplify the messaging…

Here is the Octopus Energy statement, confirming the average unit rate for us 8.76p/kWh +VAT or 9.2p/kWh inc VAT.

It is also claimed that the rioting is a way in which people are expressing their 'legitimate' concerns about immigration, which is arguably a polite way of saying that these are racist riots. 5/

So if the rioters are angry about immigration, it must be because somebody is making them angry about immigration. 7/

It’s a sad day for Middlesbrough and Teesside. A nasty minority have been riled up and manipulated by bussed in, professional fascist organisers. Not only have they attacked our community assets, such as the University and historic Library, they’ve also destroyed local… /1

Oh dear oh dear, Andrew likes to pose as an energy expert, but *everything* he adds here is wrong 💷His biggest omission is that higher power imports means lower bills for consumers💷 Shall we count the other ways he's wrong? Yes, let's, with added GIFs and some MATHS🧵

Let's pause for a moment to congratulate Andrew for successfully quoting a report (albeit without attribution) This is the only thing he did right.

Now let's talk about energy security. Having lots of interconnectors linking the GB grid with other parts of Europe is expected to "contribute greatly to GB security of supply", says a report for National Grid nationalgrid.com/sites/default/…

Well, perhaps National Grid would say that (they are involved in operating interconnectors after all) But then again, here is DECC (now DESNZ), on the energy security benefits of these cables 🤔 assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5a7c0290…

So in summary: ✅electricity imports save consumers £££ ✅import/export capacity is good for energy security ✅electricity imports in H1 2024 likely had ~zero net impact on the UK balance of payments You're welcome, Andrew. Any time.

It would be great to see calculated Vs measured case studies and discussion from MCS and CIBSE to give wider confidence on the right assumptions to use especially for Eco4 installs in our area.
