@AbobiWay Always turns up late to the fight with a new hair style. Guess she was getting a blow dry and didn't notice Thanos was kicking off.

She's so underrated idk why ppls hate on her shes literally top 3 strongest avenger

@IanByrneMP @labourlewis @Feargal_Sharkey Well your party is in power so stop preaching to the choir and get it sorted!

Great to join the makers of Channel 4’s ‘Dirty Business’ and everyone behind the Sewage Campaign Network, including @labourlewis and @Feargal_Sharkey . Privatised water is a clear danger to our health. Anything less than a publicly-owned water system that puts people and the environment before profit simply isn’t fit for purpose. #RenationaliseWater

@btharris93 Try living on £12,500 for a year and get back to me Benny.

It’s depressing how easily many of the UK’s fiscal problems could be solved (by scrapping the triple lock and liberalising planning) but we simply choose not to because the pensioners would get mad.

@EadrictheWild @FurkanGozukara @realhansard So why don't US citizens renounce their citizenship? Anyway if they do renounce citizenship charge them an exit fee.

@FurkanGozukara @realhansard Solved by renouncing Uk citizenship

The UK is considering an American style global tax regime. If you move to zero tax havens like Dubai, you will still be forced to pay British income tax for the privilege of holding a UK passport and getting embassy protection. The tax loopholes might finally close.

@BenGrahamUK Simple. Its Vulture Capitalism. Buy NCP with a load of debt you then transfer to NCP, sell the real estate to your pet commercial property company then force NCP to rent their carparks back and finally extract commercially non sustainable dividends for you and your mates.

NCP has gone into administration. They’ve been running car parks since 1931, and somehow ended up £305m in debt. Surely the maintenance for a car park is simple: ticket machines, barriers, lights, and occasional cleaning. How can a business model literally based on people paying to park go bankrupt?

@Clarsonimus So what?

#ClimateCrisis Fun Facts: The maximum power density of a solar farm is 50 watts per square meter. Natural gas plants have a power density of 2,000 watts per square meter. Nuclear plants have a power density of 6,000 watts per square meter.

@Will52773T @jon_bartley No. Cobalt is used to desulphurise gasoline a diesel and is a key raw material in mobile phones. As well as EVs, neodynium is used in steel manufacturing, lighting, cryocoolers and military technology, such as precision-guided missiles and stealth systems.

@jon_bartley As a matter of interest, are renewable technologies responsible for the environmental harms and costs of, for example cobalt and neodymium mining?

Hi Andrew, lovely to hear from you too. I just pointed to 17.5 billions worth of subsidies you say dont exist. Crucially, I provided references. I assume you can stand up your counter assertion that UK fossil fuels "get no subsidies"? Link here again to the IMF report listing UK fossil fuel subsidies: imf.org/-/media/files/…

@TowerofAdam1 @ProudofusUK Anglofuturism = casual racism

@ProudofusUK Curiosity is a key Anglo trait. This leads to creativity, innovation, and seeing the world in new ways. If we want to have a better tomorrow, we need to lean into this. AngloFuturism ✨🚀✨

Every pane of glass around you. 🪟 Every window. Every phone screen. Every car windscreen. Every skyscraper.🇬🇧 All made the same way. All using the same process. Invented in a kitchen sink in Lancashire. His name was Sir Alastair Pilkington. He wasn't even related to the glass company. He just happened to share the name and married into the family. In 1952 he was doing the washing up at home. He watched the grease float on the water. Perfectly flat. Undisturbed. And thought: what if molten glass could do that? Before this moment, flat glass had been made the same way for three hundred years. 😰 You melted sand. You poured it into sheets. Then you ground it. And polished it. By hand. For hours. A third of every sheet was wasted in the process. The work was brutal. The results were inconsistent. Nobody questioned it. That was just how glass was made. Pilkington went to his bosses at Pilkington Brothers in St Helens with his idea. They backed him. It took seven years. It cost £7 million. An enormous sum in the 1950s. There were years where nothing worked. The company nearly went bankrupt. His idea: pour molten glass at 1,100°C onto a bath of molten tin. Glass is less dense than tin. It floats. It spreads. Both surfaces fire-polished perfectly flat by the heat. No grinding. No polishing. No waste. 🔥 In January 1959, it worked. The float glass process was licensed to manufacturers across the world. Over 40 companies. Over 30 countries. Today it accounts for over 90% of all flat glass production on Earth. Every window you have ever looked through in your entire life was almost certainly made using this single British process. Sir Alastair Pilkington was knighted in 1970. Elected Fellow of the Royal Society in 1969. Made a life peer in 1995. Baron Pilkington of St Helens. He died the same year. Before he could take his seat in the House of Lords. A British man with an idea who changed every building on Earth. 🇬🇧 Be part of us - proudofus.co.uk Be proud of us. 🙏🇬🇧

@KateFantom I like this new Kate, Florence and James. Keep calling out the fossil fuel shills.

Fact check; Last year wind generation lowered CO2 export by 39 million tonnes Wind is more secure than fossil fuels. We don’t pay for it, and it doesn’t hold us to ransom. Currently we have 400+ vessels sat stranded each carrying 2 million barrels of crude because of the Iran conflict. Oil isn’t secure. Wind has cut over £100 billion from our bills. Without wind each household would have paid an additional £3600 over a 16 year period. That’s £225 a year. This chap has a vested interest in making money from oil and gas stocks…. Think about why he’s peddling this 🤔

@k8ppers @llewellynsteven @implausibleblog It really isn't. In the UK the only tax that pays for anything is Council Tax. All HMRC receipts end up disappearing into the Government's loan account with the Bank of England. The primary purpose of tax is to control inflation by reducing the money in circulation.

@llewellynsteven @implausibleblog Its a combination of both, but predominantly taxpayer money.

Sian Berry, "We just won the by election close to here in Gorton and Denton" "And everything people told us on the doorstep was about the cost of living, the decimation of public services, wanting to see more investment" Fiona Bruce, "What steps could a Green government take?" Sian Berry, "In the short term, windfall taxes" "The separation of the gas price from the energy markets" "We need to see renewables leading the price of the bills because they are much more cheaper than gas" "We need to invest and get away from fossil fuels" "The cost of investing in green energy is the cost of one of these shocks, and we've already seen two in the past few years" "Build a country where we have good public services, where people aren't worried about the cost of living, it's the kind of thing people need to hear" "A positive campaign is why we won, my new colleague, Hannah Spencer" "That's the kind of vision we're going to keep talking about"

@velcro1066 @KateFantom @BenGrahamStocks Neither are golf courses but we have far more land used for golf courses than will ever be needed for all the planned solar in the UK. Should we start ploughing up golf courses?

@KateFantom @BenGrahamStocks Grazing sheep is not efficient use of prime arable land.

In hot, sunny regions, solar panels thrive. In the UK, they barely break even. Pushing mass solar here is ignoring geography, and common sense.

@dontdelay Maybe because they are in a low wage job and struggle daily to keep a roof over their head and food on the table and have nothing left to save.

@NealMilne My standard response to responses like that, is, why did you leave yourself wholly reliant on the state and not save anything for your own future in the prior 50 years?

A reminder of the cost of triple lock increases on state pensions. Pensioners may be £1,000 better off today than if pensions had risen in line with earnings. But it's the workers, whose incomes can only rise in line with earnings, who are paying for that extra £1,000 per year. x c.13,000,000 pensioners, that's an extra £13 billion, every year.

@BenGrahamStocks Arguably the cheapest energy source?? Yes we can argue about it and you won't win.

Nuclear plants run 24/7 for 60–80 years. No weather dependency. No massive storage systems. No land sprawl. Per unit of reliable power, nuclear is arguably the cheapest energy source on Earth.

@TeslaJigsaw Tesla owners are EV owners. More accurate statement would be "EV owners, including Tesla owners, are unfazed".

The UK fuel crisis is hitting hard. I look at why EV and Tesla owners are unfazed, and why millions of people could have switched to an EV and avoided the headache, but didn’t. Is this also another wake-up call about Net Zero madness and the UK’s dependence on foreign energy? I’d love to hear your thoughts below 👇 #UKFuelCrisis #PetrolPrices

@mehercle @AppleSZS @LNallalingham Please try living on the £12,500 per year state pension and get then back to me explaining why it's a bonanza.

@AppleSZS @LNallalingham The groundwork has already been laid in the media . It's the sick and disabled . All of us are workshy scroungers . Pensioners will continue to get a Triple Locked , non means-tested bonanza , though .

@peterrhague The notion was put in their heads by the fossil fuel lobby trying to delay electrification of road transport

Not sure where people got the notion into their head that hydrogen is a good energy carrier.

@DaleCooper90700 @elecclassiccars Not to worry I'm sure you've kept your vintage 911 stock.

@elecclassiccars Absolute sacrilege!!! There isn’t anything sweeter than winding up that air cooled flat six…

Another happy customer leaves the workshop with his new pride and joy. This time it’s a stunning electric 1971 Porsche 911. 😎⚡️👌 #porsche911 #porsche #electric911

@DSuggers @paullewismoney Completely debunked bollox. My EV is the same weight as an equivalent size ICE car.

@paullewismoney Its about time Ev's paid for the damage they do to the roads, heavy vehicles including HGV's need to pay for the damage they do. HOWEVER it about time the goverment came up with a road surface that supports these heavy vehicles, tarmac doesn't cut it anymore.

Electric shock - new tax threatens to make EVs more expensive to run than fossil fuel cars bit.ly/4tVfveK

@mpharrisonHarry @colinwalker79 @snevinoj According to Dick's timeline even he has given up on hydrogen

@colinwalker79 @snevinoj Reminds me to check on Dick Winchester

Aberdeen City Council has announced that it is dropping its hydrogen double-decker bus fleet in favour of electric vehicles You can run from the laws of thermodynamics, but you can't hide bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
