Mall Sessions - Sat 14th March Let's give the youngsters a chance, 9 great bands and free entry. All you need to do is turn up, get a drink from the bar and enjoy

Tonight, the wonderful ELFI brings her live band to the Mall Sessions in Redhill. Have you got your ticket yet - good-show.co.uk/events/3190

@jed_dwight @haveigotnews @KemiBadenoch @Conservatives Let's just remember 29 Liberal Democrats (over half their MPs) did not vote for the proposal and yet every single Conservative MP at the time voted for it. So, whether Kemi Badenoch was there or not - it is clearly more a Conservative policy to blame than a Lib Dem one.

@haveigotnews SPOILER ALERT - it wasn’t @KemiBadenoch , who was elected to Parliament in 2017, and as @Conservatives Leader in 2024. Perhaps go and speak to Sir Ed Davey instead, he’ll know all about it…

Kemi Badenoch called high interest rates on student loans an ‘unfair debt trap’ - no one tell her who introduced it

Bands in the Belfry Wires, Adarna May Exist, and FEVER ROUGE are in the Belfry TONIGHT from 19:30 Come down and see a great show - Tickets available on the Door

@stuart_holmes1 @ReigateLibDems @BBCSurrey Redstart would have had unit 5 up now if they'd funded us (as we asked last year) setting up a Grassroots Community Music Venue for all the community

@ReigateLibDems @BBCSurrey At this rate I can’t see this reopening before 2027

At last night’s council meeting it was revealed there’ll be more delays to reopening the Harlequin Theatre in #Redhill as contracts have still not been signed to start the removal of the RAAC or for future operations The lack of any timescales & these delays are unacceptable

Petition: “By-elections to be called automatically when MPs defect to another party” has reached 126,200+ so scheduled for Parliamentary debate on 16 March You can still sign - once the debate has happened, you'll be emailed a video and transcript petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7376…

@NicholasLe81575 @LoftusSteve The first rule of any forecast is it's out of date 1 second after it is issued!!

@LoftusSteve Sounds about right first rule of the OBR is its always wrong

This is astounding considering that the OBR has far greater access to data and advanced visibility of upcoming changes that other economic forecasters don't have.

@NicholasLe81575 @Object_Zero_ He should be doing both, but sadly the Tories spent all the money on Rwanda and other silly ideas. Hydro will take 10-15 years plus to build and get operating whereas other NZ ideas are faster which is probably why they are chosen.

@Object_Zero_ Which is why Miliband should be forcing through the Scottish PSH schemes rather than other elements of his NZ plan

Pumped Hydroelectric Plants are Batteries A pumped hydro plant using reversible Francis or Pelton turbines can achieve a round trip efficiency of 85-95% at the turbine or 80% at the system level in reality. Where pumped hydro excels is sheer scale. Pumped hydro storage accounts for 94% of installed energy storage systems around the world. The capita cost is about $50 / kWh and LCOE is $0.05 / kWh That’s incredibly cheap. What really limits the use of pumped hydro is the site geography that is often needed to develop these site. It’s almost always based on a river valley. However there is an obviously better geographical feature that as far as I can tell has never been developed… Coastal cliffs. In a river valley, nature gives you a free perimeter on 3 side and engineering buys you the height with a damn. On a coastal cliff, nature gives you free height and engineering buys you a perimeter with a wall / dyke. What is interesting is that nature gives us a lot more coastal cliffs than river valleys. Places like the UK and California should probably take a good look at what they could with coastal cliffs than pumped hydro as a storage option for their increasingly intermittent and chaotic grids.

@SouthernRailUK @NicholasLe81575 Which line and where will they be testing, so we can understand why services are cancelled please

@NicholasLe81575 Hi there Nicolas, it has taken engineers longer to recover from the repairs, and Network Rail engineers will need to continue to do tests tomorrow ^TT
