Probe into Sizewell C lined up by a powerful parliamentary committee. "its inquiry would follow an NAO report due in spring 2026. That report is expected to examine current govt spending on the project & the risks to achieving value for taxpayersโ money." constructionnews.co.uk/civils/sizewelโฆ

Following Mondayโs visit by the Reform party and its leader, Nigel Farage, the club would like to issue the following statement:
Ipswich Town Football Club has, over several years, hosted representatives from a range of political parties. The club remains apolitical and does not support or endorse any individual or party.
The club will continue to engage with representatives from across the political spectrum as part of its role within the community.
Ipswich Town is proud to be an inclusive, diverse, and welcoming organisation that supports all members of the local and wider community. This commitment remains unchanged.

Linda Pentz Gunter: โScotland has it absolutely right. You donโt need to take the risk, the waste, the expense of nuclear power. Itโs intricately connected to the nuclear weapons sector...Why would you do the most expensive, slowest way of generating...1/2

@thetruus01 @RAF_Luton This guy is correct. It uses a NATO standard USB-A so it can refuel over France.

@RabbleChorus @PaulWri89662714 New nuclear - too late, too costly for climate and energy crises.

@Ed_Miliband The Iron Triangle is unbreakable. If you shrink time you have to accept more costs or (god forbid, in this case) lower quality.
It is far cheaper and lower risk to build out wind, solar and storage. #WSB #WSS

@KieraDiss "How many work at Portsmouth dockyard, Admiral?" "Oh, about half".
He got into a bit of trouble for that in the 60s - and a strike.

๐จ HMS DRAGON DOCKYARD WORKERS CLOCKING OFF AT 5PM
Fresh reports claim work to repair HMS Dragon is only proceeding during standard 9โ5 dockyard hours, as the Royal Navy destroyer remains out of action.
The Type 45 air-defence destroyer was expected to return to readiness sooner, but the timeline has slipped again, with the battleship not ready for at least another week.
The delay has drawn further criticism at a time when danger remains high, particularly around RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus, where British forces are already on heightened alert.
One would expect a round-the-clock commitment to get the ship ready to sail.
Yet more woeful embarrassment.

@PDC_Services @nickfshort Not just the Berlin Infantry Brigade but the admin centre of the British Sector and BRIXMIS.
An Alert Platoon was based there 24/7 fully armed and ammo'd on 10 mins NTM.

As ever, well worth reading. And I am reminded that fhe British #Berlin Garrison remained there until 1994, after German reunification.
Katja Hoyer@hoyer_kat
Had a fascinating day filming for a documentary at the Berlin Olympic Stadium. Originally built for the 1936 Summer Games in Nazi Germany, it's been modernised since but with a view to conserving it as a historical monument... Today. 1936.

@greenheroaf @SayNo2SizewellC You're right. TODAY'S climate needs solutions. Renewable answers are ready NOW at so much lower cost than nukes.

Put simply: "itโs nuts that you would build [Sizewell C] in an [area] that is so vulnerable...Dunes in front of the development site had been breached during recent stormy weather" - an immoral financial & environmental burden placed on future generations

Well said, nature is in crisis. Sizewell C in an AONB, surrounded by designated wildlife sites & partially built on Sizewell Marshes SSSI, should never have been given DCO approval & demonstrates Fingleton is wrong - environmental regulations don't hold up infrastructure projects
Chris Hinchliff MP@CHinchliffMP
If the nature-loving majority gets organised, bold and clear, we wonโt just win on Fingleton. Weโll shut down the idea that protecting nature was even up for debate for a generation. Thatโs whatโs at stake. Iโm up for the fight.

More Sizewell C nonsense- it's not 'clean', relies on overseas uranium, at ยฃ40-ยฃ50bn it's certainly not cheap & won't produce its expensive electricity (expected at 2x market rate) for 15yrs+. In an increasingly unstable world nuclear is a target/weapon
