The news that a large chunk of the new Eggborough gas fired power station will not go ahead is a critical blow to UK energy security. It's hard to see how we get to the next election without the lights going out.

It's like the litanies repeated endlessly in the Tudor church.
Time to take on the right over denying climate change. To indulge their nonsense is to risk both growth and a mounting civilisational challenge. Our kids deserve better. Promoting green growth does not make you an ‘eco-nutter’. It’s the only way forward

In the UK governance system ministers are virtually powerless. That needs to change.
The apogee of Tory failure was Jacob Rees Mogg leaving gay little notes on the desks of civil servants he couldn't compel into the office and he knew would immediately leak the notes, the whole thing done to help him get publicity to secure a GB news role

@FUDdaily If a new Bill of Rights was expressed as limits on government rather than "things people must have" it would be a huge step forward.

It is likely that the other half of the CCGT will not go ahead either.

@zaidmove Sorry, but this is just handwaving. Net zero is a policy that ignores the industrial workforce. INEOS made it clear that local supplies of shale gas would save the plant. The SNP said no.

The big lie.
Smart climate policy means not only protecting future generations from the biggest existential threat we face, but fighting to make working people better off today, growing our economy and confronting the economic injustices we face.

It's reasonable to assume that corruption is in play.
It is now Sunday 09 Feb 25, another long week has passed and still @PoliceScotland and @COPFS haven’t brought Operation Branchform to a timely or satisfactory conclusion. This investigation commenced in July 21, it is being buried by the Scottish establishment and the @COPFS led by @NicolaSturgeon’s BFF, the Lord Advocate Dorothy Bain. Corruption is at the very heart of our society. We the electorate will not allow this fraud and embezzlement to be swept under the carpet.
