@MikeyCycling Oh busses are slow but have bus lanes... Really... When you go shopping you often need to take purchases back to car then carry on... Cant with a bus, would love to see those imposing busses on us use them daily.

Buses are only slow because too many people choose to drive when they don’t need to. It’s private cars causing nearly all of the congestion in London.

@Boenau Its not magical its just

"Residents won't use bikes or scooters." "Commuters won't use bikes or scooters." "Tourists won't use bikes or scooters." And then something magical happens when you create a network of bike lanes. 👀

@cleanupbritain I didnt follow the link, not stupid, becsuse I assume its a scam, fund cameras, Ill take 95% and put up a few cameras to justify the donations. DO NOT DONATE. SCAM.

We're going to install surveillance cameras all over the country to catch people who do this sort of damage to our environment... Please support our campaign. crowdfunder.co.uk/p/enforcement-…

@chris_croslin1 @defense_civil25 We dare not turn our backs on the US because if we did we would get yet another knife in the back or even a bullet to the Though we are still not going to fight a war you started and expect everyone else carry it on.

@defense_civil25 What really makes me angry is UK, Germany, and France. They should know better than to turn their backs on the US.

Every member of NATO refused the call to help the United States to restore freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. All of Them!!

@jonburkeUK Great idea, make everything electric, but dont have a robust infrastucture to deliver the power. Power cut are still common and what happens when a storm destroys the infrastructure? Putting all your eggs in one basket is never a good idea.

52% of U.K gas consumption is for heating and cooking (mainly heating). The Government committing to delivering a heat pump, electric oven, and induction hob at every home in the land, to reduce emissions and increase energy security, should be a strategic national priority.

@UKLabour Ed Milliband does talk lies sh!te if you get our own gas out of the north sea and use it we wont be buy it at international set price, we will be using at the cost to extract it.

The Labour Government is taking £150 off the cost of your energy bills. And we're taking the action needed to bring down bills for good by investing in homegrown energy so we don't remain at the mercy of international markets.

@BBCNews And what will Councils, Police, Highways contractors, Utilities, Refuse Collectors, Plitical Parties and the rest get for the rubbish and mess left by them? Nothing, that's the example set and they wonder why people think its alright dump rubbish.

@UKLabour Only labour and its cronies are allowed to profiteer from hard working people. So make sure your lining labours pokets and well call it something else so you can carry on. The water companies have instructed us well on how its done.

This Labour Government will not tolerate fuel companies profiteering and hardworking people losing out.

@LRNA11 @KarinaKanepe @IslandEnviro Next winter turn your heating off and survive by putting on extra layers / blankets. I dont say pollution is a solution, the solution needs to be properly thought through and delivered correctly, not just ram a solution down our throats. Btw I have an

@DSuggers @KarinaKanepe @IslandEnviro I see plenty of people saying that their heat pumps work even at -20C. Just like gas heating, the indoor temperature may be lower in these circumstances. If needed, supplement with extra layers, electric blanket, radiator. Air pollution isn’t a solution. dsawsp.org/blog/recommend…

Burning wood emits high levels of carbon dioxide, often exceeding fossil fuels like coal and natural gas per unit of energy produced. While considered renewable, it creates significant "carbon debt," releasing decades of stored carbon instantly while requiring years for regrowth.

@CitizenUddin @EalingCouncil It hasnt opened yet, its not a cycle lane yet.

Ealing Hospital, Uxbridge Road This is the new cycle lane from the Iron Bridge to Ealing Hospital. However, it's concerning, that it hasn't even opened yet and already vehicles are parked in it. I hope @EalingCouncil will be doing some parking enforcement here.. 😂😂😂

@KarinaKanepe @IslandEnviro So tell me what then do you install as your secondary heat sauce with your heat pump for when the temerature outside stops the pump working? Something this country neglectes to tell ASHP users. Look at Scandinavian countries.

@IslandEnviro It also emits black carbon & PM2.5 - which is why wood burning must be included alongside coal/gas/oil in the 'phasing out of fossil fuels' conversation.

@MartinSLewis @Ed_Miliband WTF do we buy North Sea Oil and Gas from other countries? Why do we not drill and use that oil and gas and sell the excess to other countries to fund renewables and lower prices?

Just got off the phone after @Ed_Miliband called to discuss in detail the problems people are facing with domestic energy bills and heating oil. Here's what I fed through - your feedback would be useful... 1. HEATING OIL: This is the most immediate concern as many, often in rural areas or N. Ireland, are refuelling their tanks. Prices have rocketed, a few even suggest they've nearly doubled in a week. My biggest concerns are... a) Those who can't afford the new price b) Lack of specific regulation as heating oil isn't covered by Ofgem (though that's a longer-term issue) c) Some have anecdotally reported existing booked-in orders being cancelled, and being asked to rebook at much higher prices. I want to firm up whether this is widespread... I'd like to hear specific examples of how much prices are rising, especially of point c) and will pass them through to the Department for Energy. 2. CONSUMER GAS & ELECTRICITY BILLS: This is less imminent, but a potential ticking cost time-bomb. I'm focused on the Eng, Scot & Welsh system here... - In the short term: Most bills are protected from the spike in wholesale energy prices as the Energy Price Cap is set based on a significant time-lag. In fact it is locked in to DROP 6.7% in April. Those not on the Price Cap are mainly on existing fixes (which, due to unprecedented prior policy changes, will see most suppliers cut existing fix rates on 1 April, typically by 7% to 9%) so are also price protected for now. One current concern is the lack of availability of cheap fixes. While that's frustrating, in the short term it means those whose existing fixes are ending, will just (hopefully temporarily) need to move on to the Price Cap. There are also a minority of homes who are immediately affected, eg, those on time-of-use tariffs. These include Octopus Agile & Tracker, which move half-hourly or daily with wholesale rates. These are sophisticated user tariffs, and if necessary people have the short term option to switch back to a Price Cap tariff (though do check for restrictions on how long before you can switch back). So while none of that is great, it isn't crisis point. - The end of May is likely crunch time: This is usually when the next Price Cap (July to Sept) is announced. It currently seems very likely it will rise, though just how much all depends on how long lived the current energy price spike is. Yet the key is whether wholesale rates have dropped back down or not by that point. If they have, while the Price Cap rise will annoy many, it won't be critical for most for two reasons i) The July to Sept Price Cap is usually the lowest use period. So, even if typical use rose £200/yr, in practice this'd just be, at a guess, an extra £30 to £40 paid over the period. If by then wholesale rates are down, a substantial cut would be expected for the next (Oct) Cap. ii) The rate new fixes are set at is based on wholesale rates, so if wholesale rates have dropped by then, the big push should be to get people off the Price Cap and onto fixes which could possibly look to be 20%+ cheaper, avoiding any price hike. That should then leave only those unwilling or unable to switch paying more - the latter is an issue the govt would need to concern itself with at that point. Yet if rates haven't dropped back down by May, and it looks like it'll stay high so the October Price Cap will rise too, and no cheap fixes are available, then things get into real problem territory. The government needs to be (and I suspect is starting to) planning now for that eventuality in case more hard-core intervention is needed. Martin PS I said I'd be off socials for the weekend, as normal, but thought this was worth coming back on for. I'm now resuming my weekend break from socials.

@CarbonBrief @DrSimEvans WTF are you talking about carbon debt? We want to know which is cheaper, the car running on petrol but costing a s!t load less than an EV purchase price or a EV public charging as have no infrastructure or possibility of installing it.

@UKLabour Utter 💩 you act in the UK's best intrest as long as it is in your intrest and lines your picket.

This Labour Government will always act in the UK’s national interest.

@sagezza2 Such sh!

Maybe Jonny bravo can fly over and help kinki zalenki

@ZelenskyyUa Please make sure you trade you technology helping the US against what you will pay for their help. They pay $4 mill for a misile to down a drone, yourse cost $1000 to make but should cost $2 mill when you sell them. Make the fat orange man baby pay now.

We received a request from the United States for specific support in protection against "shaheds" in the Middle East region. I gave instructions to provide the necessary means and ensure the presence of Ukrainian specialists who can guarantee the required security. Ukraine helps partners who help ensure our security and protect the lives of our people. Glory to Ukraine!
