Once noticing a sheep nursing her tail-wagging beautiful babies, this driver stops the car so as not to frighten them. Respect is beautiful.

@jodymcintyre_ Thanks for this.

NEW: After Morgan McSweeney’s Labour Together operation, a new Starmer-linked think tank has been popping up on X. An account with 7k followers, but their ads receive millions of views. I’ve been investigating “Labour Future” and its links to McSweeney. Here’s what I found:🧵

Protecting the little one.. 😊

@SophiePrestonHa Terrible. Who does the counting of the ballot papers in the local elections coming up? If these Councils are doing this sort of thing, would they be dishonest in the counting of votes? How does it work?

I genuinely cannot believe how low things are getting right now. We are seeing behaviour from Labour and some opposition figures that is, quite frankly, shocking — all because they feel threatened by Reform UK. Let’s just take a moment to look at what’s been happening… Linden Kemkaran, Leader of Kent Council, caught an opposition leader eavesdropping outside their group room. Tony Cox, Reform Group Leader in Southend, dealing with someone monitoring who’s going in and out of Reform offices. And most disturbing of all — Basildon Council admitting there was a covert camera operating inside Reform UK offices within the council building. A covert camera. Let that sink in. This is not normal. This is not acceptable. And it should concern absolutely everyone — regardless of your political views. Yes, we are a threat. I get that. But if you’re so confident in your position, then fight us properly. Fight us on ideas. Fight us at the ballot box. Not with underhand tactics like this. If this is how they behave when they feel pressure… what does that tell you?

A solar panel in the UK operates at approximately 10-11% capacity factor. Meaning: for roughly 90% of the time, it is producing nothing or next to nothing. A sheep on that same land operates at 100% capacity, 365 days a year, on inputs that fall from the sky. The sheep produces food, wool, manure, and soil improvement. The panel produces electricity for about nine hundred hours a year and sits quietly in the rain for the rest. This is not an argument against solar panels. It is an argument against putting them on land that has a better job to do.

This is something everyone interested in energy should read - supplier CEOs giving evidence to the DESNZ Select Committee last autumn Selected highlights... Rachel Fletcher, Director of Regulation and Economics at Octopus Energy: “…if we continue on the path that we are on right now, in all likelihood electricity prices for a typical customer are going to be 20% higher in four or five years’ time than they are now. That is even if wholesale prices halve… The point is that the country as a whole at the moment is paying over £20 billion a year on its electricity bills for policy costs. The projections are that that is going to increase. That is one of the hundred pounds that will possibly be added to electricity bills on the current trajectory over the next four years. It is time that we got this burden under control,” Simone Rossi, CEO at EDF UK: “We can compare the cost to serve in France and the cost to serve in the UK. Per point of delivery, the cost to serve in the UK is about £100 per annum. In France, it is €45, which is half, more or less. It is actually less than half. This is not to do with the wholesale price or the gas marginal cost et cetera. It is driven by the fact that we have very complex regulation that has become stratified over the years…. ...we have in front of us a system where, even if the wholesale price were to halve, as she indicated, the bills will rise. There are two main drivers that we have in front of us in the growth of the bills. One is the demand reduction. We are building infrastructure as if there was more demand, but, in reality, there is less and less demand, so you have a bigger burden on smaller shoulders…” Chris Norbury, CEO at E.On UK: “if I look at the non-commodity costs—policy costs and network costs—certainly some of the modelling that we have suggests that you could get to a position by 2030 where, if the wholesale price was zero, bills would still be the same as they are today because of the increase in those non-commodity costs,” Chris O’Shea, CEO at Centrica: “When you look at what consumers pay, consumers do not actually pay the wholesale gas price for anything backed by a CfD. When people talk about getting the wholesale gas price down, that is quite a red herring. "Consumers pay what the CfD price is. If the wholesale electricity price goes to a pound, the CfD will simply make that back up to the £75 per megawatt-hour or so that wind farms are getting at the moment,” committees.parliament.uk/oralevidence/1…

@andreajenkyns @reformparty_uk I wish you luck with this. I understand once a solar farm is in place, no food can be grown on that land ever again due to the pollution. Surely this can’t be allowed to happen? This terrible decision will literally effect many generations to come and is not reversible. 😞

I am looking at the legal case to push for a Judicial Review against mad Ed Milliband granting the UKs largest Solar Farm. Will keep you posted. @reformparty_uk

@Ed_Miliband Why are you putting this on prime farmland? Please cover rooftops and industrial buildings! You say energy security, but what about food security? We need food and British food. Think about the irreversible damage this will cause to the land. What a disaster for farming.

1/ Today as we approve Springwell Solar farm, set to be the UK’s largest approved power‑producing solar farm, @NESO have confirmed a new solar record, with over 14.4GW of clean power generated at the peak. independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…

@ShepherdWales Hilarious 🤣

Last nights fun! (Ignore the mess, we have builders in - just to add to the chaos) PIGLET HOUSE PARTY! 🥳😩🫣🙃

@stepho_s19 @Telegraph I have solar panels at home and think solar is appropriate on rooftops; industrial buildings; car parks etc …. Just not on farmland and such a mass scale at that. Rooftops not fields.

@agapo76 @Telegraph Creating new renewable energy sources is not sad.

☀️ Ed Miliband has approved Britain’s biggest solar farm despite objections from nearby residents who likened it to Chernobyl. It will cover seven square miles of farmland in solar panels, an area 10 times greater than London’s Hyde Park. 🔗: telegraph.co.uk/business/2026/…

@HfcmoreiraHugo @Steveredwolf Don’t agree. Entitled to my view.

@agapo76 @Steveredwolf Says who you are the minority now

UK time to return to Europe leave the BREXIT FAILURE behind!

Everyone agree here?

@RealPeteBennett Restore Britain

If you want the UK to stay Christian who will you be voting for?

@JamesMelville Maybe the green-washing is starting to come to an end. Let’s hope common sense prevails from now on!

Well knock me down with a feather.

@AvonandsomerRob Boycotted in our house!

Did you put your money where your mouth is and boycott Cadbury's chocolate this Easter or did you just moan on Twitter and buy them anyway?

If young men and women want a proper anti-establishment political party that will give them an opportunity to work hard, earn fair money, build a life and raise a family, but also not import endless foreign perverts? They now have that option. Restore Britain.

@itvnews @itvnews you should have approached farmers in the UK to ask them directly rather than a climate change group. Clearly the increase is like everything else It’s the cost of living & sheer lack of support from the government for uk farmers and food security.

Lamb costs soared over last three years due to climate change, report says itv.com/news/2026-04-0…
