@FurnessSmithC @labourlewis Would public water companies build reservoirs with the efficiency of HS2?

@labourlewis What makes you think that any public owned water company would have built the necessary reservoirs. History suggests quite the opposite. The nationalised water authorities were starved of investment by the treasury. A little more honesty please

That’s right John. Since 1989, no major new reservoir has been built in England by privatised water companies. Indeed, at least 35 reservoirs have been sold off since 2017. Maybe even you can see it’s now time for public ownership? ICYMI that’s not nationalisation.

@The1TrueMark @DaveB57153527 @cra46159 Ours too

@DaveB57153527 @cra46159 My local Sainsburys made the spaces bigger, did double white line between each space.

@OrdinaryVoices @ZackPolanski Then they can be run efficiently like HS2 ? .......

@ZackPolanski The renationalisation of all utilities must be a top priority. The fact that we all rely on these services working for us is one that must weigh very heavily in any changes. WHICH LEADER WILL ACCEPT THIS BASIC PREMISE??

Water privatisation has been outright theft. Whoever is next PM must commit to ending this scandal and take our water back into public ownership. No more failed regulation. theguardian.com/business/2026/…

@Dayangzhouren @RichardLyon_ @GeoffreyLean Every night

@RichardLyon_ @GeoffreyLean Do you get sun droughts as well as wind droughts?

Battery storage can now enable wind and solar to produce continuous power at an economic price, reports an international agency. The old intermittency objection to renewables is losing its validity. euronews.com/2026/05/08/rou…

@JohnCotton @SamSmithHiggins @llew_gwyn If they are still around to claim from

@SamSmithHiggins @llew_gwyn All that means is that someone else foots the bill when they go wrong, not that they will work perfectly for 25 years.

Absolute madness. I had solar panels and batteries put on my house last year. It’s reduced my overall bills from £350 a month to £70 a month. If that’s “net zero” - I’ll take it with thanks 🤩

@ClarksonsFarm1 Keep Britain tidy!

@warrensbuffet2 Because people charge their cars to drive them not to be mini power stations.

Why isn’t Europe pushing vehicle to grid hard as fuck?

@renewablesmiffy We should store cheap gas on windy sunny day and store it for nights when the wind doesn't blow

The fossil fuel narratives “We need back up Gas for low wind days” “Our Gas is expensive because it runs less because of Wind” The Reality…….. Low wind day, we import from Europe because it’s cheaper than GB Gas generation

@DuncanStott Trains should be easier to control and they still have drivers....

The biggest operating cost of a bus network is its drivers' wages. Self-driving buses would be transformative to the economics of expanding bus service reach and frequency. I'm far more excited about this than self-driving cars.

@TheGriftReport I believe they call it 'biofuel' arguably coal is also 'biofuel' and available a lot closer to home.

Time to end the biomass scam. Drax, Britain’s largest carbon emitter for the past decade, received £999 million in taxpayer subsidies last year, £2.7 million a day or over £100,000 an hour, all added to our energy bills. The power giant burns millions of tonnes of imported wood pellets while still claiming “renewable” status. Here’s why it’s a massive scam: - They chop down mature forests, turn them into pellets and ship them across the Atlantic, creating a huge carbon footprint before they’re even burned. - Burning wood releases more CO2 in the short term than coal does. - The “carbon neutral” claim only works if new trees grow back over decades, far too slow to help real climate targets. - Households are forced to subsidise this greenwash while bills stay sky-high and the company rakes in profits. Enough is enough. Cut the subsidies now.

@jeremyjudkins_ An ice car with a quick 0-60 typically is a lightweight high power car that will also be good across country and round a circuit, a lively drive with a high top speed. Electric cars (& some SUVs) skewed that by being fast 0-60 with high torque, but few are a good drive overall.

People always cared about having a quick car. Then suddenly 0-60 in 4 seconds was easily beat by literally every model of Tesla. Suddenly 0-60 doesn’t matter anymore for some reason. Interesting.

@MaceMoneta @johnrhanger At what point does it manifest locally?

@VortechTony @johnrhanger It has an effect on the total atmospheric energy. That doesn't manifest locally. Global warming is dramatically increasing that energy. If we built millions of wind turbines every year, we might be able to break even with the increase. We're are not.

"The world’s largest wind farm built to power 3.3 million homes just flipped a major switch" The 2.9 GW Hornsea 3 will operate in 2027! The UK offshore wind farm in located in the North Sea. Big offshore wind farms displace lots of gas burning! msn.com/en-nz/news/oth…

@BladeoftheS Had some lovely weather in the Falklands over the years, appreciate it more as the contrast is greater! The military use it for training and exercises. If global warming really is a thing it will be very popular in future.

The Falklands is a barely inhabitable hellhole, arctic cold, permanent gales, nothing to do. Less than 3,500 people live there and it costs over £100,000 per person per year to keep them there. It is time to stop pretending it is anything but a massive worthless drain on the UK

@Jenny_1884 I can go several weeks without needing to do more than 10-30 miles then I will need to do (an urgent) 400 plus in a day - usually ending in a field with maybe access to a 13amp plug. Or I might need to tow a large trailer 200 plus miles. So no, they don't work for me.

Who still won’t be buying an Electric Car even though they are intentionally putting fuel prices up?

@MaceMoneta @johnrhanger So extracting large amounts of kinetic energy from wind has no effect? How many studies have been carried out to prove this? How much can you extract before it does?

@VortechTony @johnrhanger None. Weather is a local concept. Climate is s global concept.

@MaceMoneta @johnrhanger What effect does extracting that much wind energy have on the weather?

@johnrhanger Wind turbines don't get enough love. They extract energy from the atmosphere, directly countering global warming.

@JamesGrahamAuth No, labour would have spent it all plus another 50%

Imagine if you Tories had not privatised our oil and gas sector, which created BP. Great Britain would be in the same position as Norway with a sovereign wealth of over $2 Trillion. But you did, and you sold off all the leases. Truss shut down all onshore/offshore gas storage.

@tirii_f1 Depends on the characteristics of the car.

Max, Lewis, Alonso, Norris... Same car, same machinery Who wins?

@Askrigg_lad @BBCNews @UKLabour Some will have 5 kids to get a bigger council property.

There is a woman on @BBCNews this morning complaining that she is struggling to cope because she is out of work and has FIVE children. She says what a relief it is to get the extra money from @UKLabour with the removal of the two child benefit cap. My very simple question is - why have FIVE children knowing she won’t be able to afford to look after them? There is a very simple solution. It’s called Birth Control.
