@kevverage @xanderescribe @ScotNational The National has never encountered a fact it thought was worth checking.

1/ Laughable attempt to create a story out of me knocking doors for Labour during the election. I’m a party member, and campaign in a personal capacity. And true to @ScotNational’s ethos of relentlessly inaccurate reporting, I’m not even in the video they believe features me.

i wonder why the SNP’s favourite propaganda paper doesn’t like @These_Islands and seeks to create a story out of nothing?
it’s a proper head-scratcher 🤔

@staylorish @ScotNational I haven't seen an email or anything from you on this Sam. But posting publicly is fine.
This is you, in the white cap?

Your Labour membership will likely need to be made clear in TV interviews etc moving forward. Thanks!

Reject Reform. Beat the SNP. Change Scotland. Next week, the only route to change is to vote Scottish Labour.

Mr Swinney: if Scotland’s wind power is so cheap, why did the Low Carbon Contracts Company pay Scottish generators £474m above the market price for their output last year?
if you had “power” over energy, would you break these contracts and stop subsidising wind farms?
Kevin Hague@kevverage
looking at what that means in cash terms: last year the LCCC “topped up” intermittent renewables generators by £2.4bn - £474m that went to Scottish projects 4/n

@mrianleslie the tension/stress levels ratchet up quite effectively - but you have to suspend your critical faculties to enjoy it (it’s medical drama cliche central)

I’ve watched the first two eps of The Pitt. Does it get better?

@scotfax @kevverage Can a person who has never coded before use Claude Code?
English
working with Claude Code a lot recently and in my experience it is brilliant *if and only if* you don’t trust it an inch - it does a lot of:
“good catch, i shouldn’t have said that …
“i shouldn’t have guessed that ..”
“good instinct, i should have checked that …”
English
anybody who has been deceived by the SNP into thinking Scotland has “cheap” renewable energy which is being “siphoned off” by Westminster should be asked to read this thread 👇
Kevin Hague@kevverage
looking at intermittent (wind & solar) projects, we can see the actual prices paid under CfD guarantees vs the “gas set” market price and the payments between generators and the LCCC that result renewables are vitally important, but not cheap cfd-hub.com/net-flow?nf_ho… 2/n

@kevverage I’m just going along to like this Kevin. Excellent comment. Your thoughts on the butler’s comments on Scotland made on the Jeremy Vine show would be appreciated
English
the fact that i live in a country where hundreds of people can “like” this kind of spiteful nonsense depresses me no end
Caoimhin@KKilcoyne
Do Scots realise why every other Westminster party hates Scotland. They detest the fact we have assets they don't and want them all for England. How stupid must you be to vote for these scroungers. SCOTLAND FIRST

Climbed Ben Nevis yesterday, first time with a 3yr old on my back the whole way (it’s harder than I remembered) and today visited the Isle of Mull for the first time: absolutely stunning

@Allybig62 that’s why the historical figures are restated into real terms - the graph shows like-for-like (avoids need to make a contentious 7 year CPI forecast!)
English
@kevverage I take it these are the current strike prices which will increase every year with inflation.
It would have been good to have the prices changing with the year movement with a projected inflation forecast to see the way the costs are supposed to reduce.🤭

@peterathertonc1 yes very much aware that constraint payments are not included in the LCCC CfD top-ups/claw-backs - and not attempting to draw any conclusion re merits of wind vs gas - just highlighting that (counter to SNP’s narrative) Scotland’s renewable energy is not cheap
English
good thread and nice charts. Couple of points. First, the strike price does mot cover the cost of intermittency - they cover the cost of relatively low load factors esp for solar. The intermittency costs are captured in additional network costs and constraint payments. Second, an easy bench mark is the the govt tends to use 120p gas and £150 carbon tax when comparing gas to renewables. Gas price prior to Iran conflict was c.70p and carbon tax currently £60 ish. Long term outlook for gas if very favourable for supply - prices for 2028 and beyond are well below 60p - assuming no wars!
