Weather is better than last week but still chilly in Heworth Ward today. A warm reception from many on the doorstep for John Crispin Bailey, Reform candidate in the By-election this Thursday for the City Of York Council. Thanks to everyone for their support so far!

That is correct, Høyre had a bad election last year. In that election FRP got 23.8% vs Høyres 14.6%, and FRP has kept growing since then. So they are the biggest Conservative Party, and a good number of Høyres voters have gone there. On the other side of the spectrum, the most left oriented party, Rødt, is also growing. And they are also opposed to EU membership.

Oh look ! After Iceland just brought forward its EU referendum, now it's Norway - and it's their 𝑟𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡-𝑤𝑖𝑛𝑔 opposition wanting to join👇 Brexiteers told us countries would be queuing up to follow them out The only queue is the one 𝒊𝒏 - and it's getting longer

If Marxists believed their own rhetoric, they would either start a business to create wealth for the poor, or start a commune to share their property with each other. They do neither. Their rhetoric is a cover for envy and resentment.

As I understand the situation it is not the turbine units themselves but the systems that are supposed to enable them to operate that cause the issues that lead to power loss. It should be noted that the Conservatives had 14 years to either fix this or order replacements but did neither. Therefore the number of surface vessels the RN can put to sea has fallen and so should the number of Conservative MPs after the next election!

What would leave a Type-45 destroyer as a “sitting duck” would be if it, for example, had engines that didn’t work. It was Geoff Hoon who in 2000 under the last Labour Government took the decision to equip them with the ill-fated WR21 engines. Labour then halved the number of ships from 12 to 6, so we had fewer ships, all with unreliable engines. The £160 million Power Improvement Project is still rectifying that decision today. HMS Duncan still hasn’t had her engines replaced. The HMS Dragon farrago can be traced all the way back to Hoon.

'This would double the risk to the West.' Defence Secretary under Tony Blair, Geoff Hoon, says that sending a British warship to the Strait of Hormuz would leave it as a 'sitting duck'.

@janrosenow Spain suffered huge blackouts. I think that would pose significant risks for Britain in the winter.

Spain's renewables build-out has structurally decoupled its electricity prices from gas markets. Gas now sets the price in only 15% of hours, compared to 90% in Italy. Countries that invested early in clean power are far less exposed to fossil fuel price shocks.

@isagdragonrider @AlexTaylorNews As I understand the situation their support has steadily grown to the point where they are leading polling, at the same time as support for Hoyre has fallen?

I think this is a significantly misleading post. Leading polling in Norway is the Fremskrittspartiet (Progress Party) which is opposed to EU membership. Just like in Britain, the establishment centre right Horye (Conservative Party) appears to be steadily losing support. I’m happy be corrected as I’m not well informed about Norwegian politics.

@DrChrisParry The spending the current system does reinforces the hold the current system has. We can see it is unsustainable and I’m sure some with in the system can too but the necessary task of cutting through is still going to be hard.

@TonyAshai If I may observer, before oil played a large part in powering humanities endeavours there was still a very substantial amount of geo political trouble. Therefore I believe your statement is not accurate!

Most people don’t realise where the £180 million actually went at the A303 Stonehenge tunnel project. It wasn’t construction. It was years of: • Environmental impact assessments • Heritage & archaeological studies • Legal challenges and consultations • Design, engineering and traffic modelling • Public inquiries and revisions All before a single shovel hit the ground. This is the real problem in Britain: We don’t just waste money, we build systems that guarantee it. £180 million to build nothing.

Ben Graham@BenGrahamUK

The A303 Stonehenge tunnel has been scrapped after years of planning. £180 million. Gone. Not a single mile built. Not a single benefit delivered. Just taxpayer money burned. Who is actually held accountable for this?

When I started working in the City in the mid-80s we had one computer between 25, then in 1989 one between eight. No one subsidised them, mandated them, or taxed slide rules, pocket calculators and graph paper. They won in the market because they were clearly better, more efficient, higher productivity. Why don’t you trust your beloved renewables to do the same?

When I started working on UK energy in 2007, fossil fuels provided ~78% of electricity. Coal alone: 34%. Wind & solar: less than 2%. Today: wind & solar 33%, fossil fuels 28%, coal 0%. The chart below tells the story better than words can.

@ChimeraX2021 @MarcherReborn You are now at the stage where you are stating that increased oil will make no difference to the oil supply. Clearly facts will make no difference to your opinion, so there is no point continuing this.

We’re literally an island made of coal, floating on a bed of shale gas, surrounded by seabeds full of oil and gas - we’re being governed by idiots and the opposition parties are failing to hold them to account. A national disaster
