@MugfordSimon @tempmil93 Are the mitigations durable and able to withstand operations, or will they fail quickly and be hard/impossible/not a priority to replace in the field.

@tempmil93 Well exactly is it safe to use for 6 hrs at 20 mph
or is it fully safe to use in full fledged operations at full pelt with crews spending days in it?
English
Is it "safe" safe, or just "safe"? That's the main question. We have to trust the experts, but I hope the industrial concerns haven't been allowed to weigh too heavily on the decision making process. We've recently seen from NMH that HMT will foist programmes when they want to.

@lembitopik @MarkHat11781084 Absolute drivel. Our remaining oil and gas is in smaller, deeper and harder to extract pockets. We are not sitting on some magical lake that is not being used.
Coal? Really? The last coal power station was using imported coal because the U.K. cost of production is so high.
English
Britain has enough oil, coal & gas to last generations. Sadly, we haven’t got politicians smart enough to use it. Carbon dioxide isn’t killing our way of life. Government is

Last week I had the pleasure of one of @KateFantom’s team coming to service my car on my drive in Scotland.
I have followed James for many years and see Cleevely go from just him doing moon mileage round the country to over a dozen techs.
Great service from Craig!

@MonkEmma @liam_out_loud Just rated a community note, hopefully that gets displayed and stops him making money out of spreading lies.

@liam_out_loud I mean, it’s obviously BS.
But if you want proof?👇🏼

🧵 These stories really are coming thick and fast at the moment🙄 Guess what? The Canadian school is NOT 'banning food at lunchtime' during Ramadan🤦♀️ Obviously... And if you BELIEVED it to be true, then you need to ask why you would choose to believe such an obviously ludicrous headline? 1/20
English
Westerners have become second-class citizens in their own countries.
A public school in Calgary banned all food from its cafeteria and lunchroom during Ramadan.
Westerners were told it was inappropriate to say “Merry Christmas.”
Now those same Westerners are expected to surrender public spaces so others can practice their religion.
The Freedom Convoy faced wartime measures to suppress constitutional rights, while Al-Quds Day protesters enjoy freedom of expression.
Look across the Atlantic and the pattern becomes even clearer.
Pakistani grooming gangs were covered up, while UK citizens are jailed for “offensive” social media posts.
Western courts increasingly hand out lighter sentences to violent offenders based on race.
None of this is compassion.
It is the slow inversion of a civilization.

@MarieBell626390 @ajgrundy1980 @Peston They take up a tiny amount of farmland, much less than incredibly inefficient growing of maize to feed biodigesters to make gas. My friend is turning the least productive field on his farm to the best one.
This haul and “leaking metals” stuff is just pure propaganda lines.
English
@ajgrundy1980 @GarethDeanPR @Peston They definitely shouldn't be on farm land.. the problem with solar in our climate, one good snow or hail storm can wreck them.
English
Starmer: there will £53m subsidy for those “most exposed” to heating oil price rises and legal action against those suppliers engaged in price gouging
English
@MarieBell626390 @ajgrundy1980 @Peston Way into talking points from fossil fuel lobbyists now. Solar leaking metals and making land unusable?
Really?
English
@ajgrundy1980 @GarethDeanPR @Peston All wind farms need a gas backup. Solar in.our climate isnt great, if you use them on agricultural land the metals can leak out, you cant use them again for agriculture..
English
@MarieBell626390 @Peston I’m familiar with supply and demand. But the volume left in U.K. fields is nowhere near enough to shift the price.
English
@GarethDeanPR @Peston The more oil you have in the supply chain the lower prices are..the increase is created by shortages
English
@MarieBell626390 @Peston That would make no difference to oil prices.
English
@Peston Or we could return oil and gas licenses to North Sea.. stop paying Norway to drill in the same sea
English
@richardkgill @DailyMail To impact prices you have to significantly increase supply vs the market volumes. We cannot do that, our remaining exploitable oil and gas is not some vast unlocked resource.
English
@DailyMail Wheat, like oil and gas are all globally priced. When wheat prices spiked after Ukraine, the Government encouraged more UK production. Yet with energy we’re told domestic supply is pointless. 🤷🏻♂️
English
Red Ed's eco-crusade has been dubbed 'a monumental act of political self-harm' after he rejected calls to expand North Sea oil production trib.al/j45L1n4
English
@RestoreBritain_ So we can get more partisan and politicised content served to us by foreign billionaires?
That sounds like a great idea. 🤦🏼♂️
English
A Restore Britain Government would defund the BBC.

@Carl__P_ @TheSolarShed How is it flushed down the toilet? Over 60% of our electricity right now now is coming from wind.
The alternative is burning some more expensive gas. Not sure who that helps?
English
@TheSolarShed £16bn a year subsidies for renewables. And rising. Money flushed straight down the toilet and into the pockets of Mad Eds green friends.
English
If this is true, which it isn’t, why has the U.K. been a net importer of natural gas since 2003?
Catherine McBride OBE@CeeMacBee
Yes, the North Sea could give the UK gas security! open.substack.com/pub/catherinem…
English
@ret_ward UK needs gas from Norway and UK plus French nuclear electricity and imported dirty LNG to cover wind/solar which FAIL to provide 24/7 52 wks pa RELIABLE energy which keeps lights on . YOU are a village idiot failing to understand the consequences of dependence on wind/solar.
English
@thinkdefence There’s an awful lot of nonsense written about energy though. So any commentators and politicians pretending we could be self sufficient have lower prices with more drilling and fracking.
It is infuriating to see, as it is not reality at all.
Like defence there’s no quick fix
English
Like defence, fucking up the UKs energy security of supply has been a team sport, over many many years
English
@loraclexyz @au_tom_otive @medicalfuture @AlexAlzz2000 @NevettJason No because they don’t have a well in the rear designed specifically for passengers to put their feet in.

@au_tom_otive @medicalfuture @AlexAlzz2000 @NevettJason You can't be serious ? You can shove those stupid seats in almost any 5 seaters, therefore all 5 seaters are 7 seaters ?
English
It’s the Land Rover Defender 130 on the left. By about 400kg if you’re interested.
English
@RobertJenrick This is a lie, there is absolutely no way that more drilling to fracking in the U.K. can bring down the price of either Brent crude or European wholesale gas.
Simple supply and demand, there’s is very little extractable resources left.
Stop pretending.
English
It is economic lunacy to ignore our rich energy reserves.
Reform will unapologetically drill in the North Sea for oil and gas.
We’ll get bills down and bring back good jobs.
English
@JimmySecUK I’ve just posted that not only is the military unprepared, the critical national infrastructure site I drive past doesn’t appear to have any drone nets, despite a lot of other security.
English
I feel like I've said this a hundred times at this point: no Western military is adequately prepared to defend against FPV drones.
(And the pilot in this case was a rank amateur.)
OSINTtechnical@Osinttechnical
For the first time, an Iranian-backed militia has carried out an FPV drone attack in Iraq, an incredibly dangerous new development. Seen here, the FPV munition flies around Victory Base near Baghdad International Airport before slamming into a building.
English
I drive past a piece of Critical National infrastructure sometimes . It has a lot of physical security, huge fences, roller gates with airlock, camera, lights etc.
No drone nets though!
(((Tendar)))@Tendar
Iranian militias using FPV drones against logistics facilities in Baghdad, Iraq. This fiberoptic drone footage shows dangers known to everyone who covered the war in Ukraine. Asymmetrical warfare has always existed, but it is only now that drones enabled virtually everyone to conduct it anywhere and anytime.
English
@heyimby @DanielJHannan @raymasseytweets I am aware of the very well proven theory of supply and demand. However, the issue is the recoverable supply is far too small to any impact on the price of Brent crude or European wholesale price of gas.
English
@GarethDeanPR @DanielJHannan @raymasseytweets I'm not OP, but it's simple supply and demand. You would be increasing supply. Oil prices have already gone down in the past when the US started shale fracking around 2014-2016. I don't know what you're trying to argue....
English
You ban North Sea drilling. You ban fracking. You tax customers at the pump. You hit producers with retrospective taxes. And now you have the nerve to turn around and blame rising costs on the fuel companies.
Keir Starmer@Keir_Starmer
If fuel companies try to rip off customers, my government will step in. @RachelReevesMP and @Ed_Miliband are bringing the bosses of the fuel companies in today, to make sure that customers aren’t losing out because of the conflict in the Middle East.
English
@TheSalesBull1 Why write this? It is total fantasy, there is nowhere near that level of recoverable oil and gas left.
English
The British public would revolt if they actually understood how much oil and gas is sitting under the North Sea
We could have Scandinavian level public services with Arabian levels of tax
All we have to do is drill
Mark Kleinman@MarkKleinmanSky
Exclusive: Make UK, the manufacturers' lobbying group, will write to energy secretary Ed Miliband today to urge him to approve new drilling licences at two major North Sea oil and gas fields amid the energy price spikes triggered by the war in Iran. #liveblog-body" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">news.sky.com/story/mark-kle…
