@Artemisfornow Works well in Germany, lets anybody prop some panels up and make useful electricity that will reduce their grid use. Struggling to see an issue with this (and I’m really not a fan of our present energy policy)

Ed’s new plan is plug in solar. Significant reductions is misinformation. Average kit costs £300-£600. It will take 3-7 years to pay back that cost in energy bill reduction. BUT … the plug in solar only has a 2 year warranty at best. All made in China using coal and oil 🤡

@TheTechnician44 Impressive numbers! What size is your solar array?

Produced 217kw this weekend Charged house batteries - 20KW- Free Charged car 55kw (300 miles) - Free Ran the house for 2 days 42Kw - Free Sold the excess 100Kw +£12

@DRSunlocked They were under no threat from behind, equally the Ferrari wasn’t able to challenge the Mercedes 1-2. What they do have now though is two drivers with experience of continuous wheel to wheel batting with the 2026 toolset.

Everyone was saying how great the battle was between the Ferraris.... I just looked at it and thought how stupid they were being. George was waiting there with his full energy to overtake them both when they used all theirs up squabbling and then disappeared up the road. It offers an exciting looking product, look any deeper than the surface however, and you just how fake it is. 🎥: Formulytics

@SpeechUnion FSU on quite the roll at present!

Police Federation of England and Wales (PFEW) drops legal challenge in free speech row. In January, the High Court ruled that PFEW acted unlawfully in suspending PC Rick Prior and PS Richard Cooke — two democratically elected Federation chairs — and banning one from seeking re-election over remarks made on GB News and social media. The Court found the suspensions, and the restrictions on their ability to stand for office, unjustified, disproportionate and in breach of their Article 10 rights under the European Convention on Human Rights. Judges also emphasised that elected representatives must be able to comment on matters of public interest — including race relations, policing standards and officer confidence. Both officers did exactly that and were punished. The PFEW initially launched a legal challenge against the High Court ruling but has now dropped it, days after its Chief Executive, Mukund Krishna, was arrested and suspended as part of an unrelated corruption investigation. We were proud to have supported PC Prior and PS Cooke throughout this process. Read more below 👇

Formula 1 seems to have become the battery management world championship ☹️

@prestonjbyrne Or we’ll be forced to refer this back to ourselves again but this time using a bigger font. Ofcom following the TV Licencing playbook of meaningless threats it seems.

Ofcom wrote today, harassing 4chan again about the fine for engaging in perfectly lawful conduct in the US. We replied with a hamster. When Ofcom wants to get serious and have a merits discussion about their powers, they can show up in a US court as a plaintiff.

@Heccles94 That’ll be me using pension salary sacrifice to save for my retirement. Shameless tax avoider that I am..

The tax gap (total tax avoided and evaded) for the UK in 2023-20224 was £46,800,000,000. It's not teachers or nurses avoiding tax. It's not people on PIP. It's not asylum seekers. It's the rich. It's the billionaires. Its Nigel Farage. It's the Tories.

@graeme_cobb Our second car is a model 3 with ~300 miles. It’s awesome. To replace my diesel, I’d need it to be able to drive 140 miles to Heathrow, sit for a week and then get me straight home after a red eye. It can’t do that. So 400 miles, more if I’m using sentry mode while parked.

How much range is enough in an EV to convince you to switch?

@Anna_Soubry @Keir_Starmer Which country exactly?

Getting aside the mistakes - accepting some serious failures of judgement @Keir_Starmer has integrity & a deep sense of serving the country rather than pursuing his own self interest. Those 2 qualities should not be forgotten by his #Labour colleagues. #Starmer needs a fundamental reset, the offer of a clear vision of the country he seeks to change & the offer of hope to voters increasingly sick of all mainstream politicians.

@labourpress This is an official Labour Party account? Log out, do something else, you’re certainly doing the party you serve absolutely no favours. Although, actually, please do carry on…

Matt Goodwin is a snowflake - pass it on

@colinsutton This is a problem with increasing amounts of software control pf products made by companies which aren’t software led. Your story could sadly equally apply to a modern TV or washing machine.

@GuidoFawkes And then they’ll push our lawmakers to extend the TV licence to anyone using YouTube…

@TrisOsborneMP @Conservatives This is sadly a deliberate attempt to deceive. Electricity this expensive will cripple our country.

Becoming a clean energy superpower ⚡️ Prices come in 19% below the ceiling price shooting the @Conservatives argument out the water. Britain can build big 🇬🇧

@YTJustGetATesla Is the Y still ‘super’ VED?

Mega Deal alert!!

@YTJustGetATesla I’m more vexed that audible is the only audiobook option

Why doesn’t Tesla have WhatsApp integration? My brother was laughing at mine’s lack of it. And he drives an MG5…

@AutoExpress Era defining? Nothing like a regurgitated press release for an easy week before Christmas…

The courageous new dawn for Jaguar grows nearer as its groundbreaking four-door GT will finally be revealed to the world in the summer of 2026, Auto Express can confirm, but before then our exclusive image offers a sneak peek at what the era-defining EV will look like...>> buff.ly/atfKhOM

@RichardPManly @boxcardavid I’ve used them on my mower boundary wire but with Wago’s own gel box. Not sure I’d trust grease alone

@boxcardavid Has anyone tried using these for irrigation wires in the valve box filled with dielectric grease?

Don’t get yourself the inline ones, they ruin people

@MSFSofficial Does it fix the inability to download and install the c172 G1000?

A small update for #MicrosoftFlightSimulator2024 is now rolling out across all platforms. Please find the release notes for v1.6.34.0 at the link below: 🔗 forums.flightsimulator.com/t/release-note…

@YV35P Brilliant milestone although I was worried that you were announcing poor health, thank goodness no ☺️ As a ~200 hour GA pilot, I’m in awe of your total!

Passed the 19.000 Hours total-time flying. Only a miracle would allow me to pass the big mark of 20.000, although we never know what life brings!. Meanwhile, grateful for what has been achieved 🙏✈️

@Earth2075 @grok You’re conflating fuel with the mechanism of use to heat the home.

@pgh Hi @grok, Can you briefly outline how much the fossil fuel industry has received in subsidies over the past 10 years in the UK vs the amount people have received from the BUS grant

Heat Pump vs Gas 🥶 Nov 2025 ⚡️Electric Total - 289.11 kWh 💷 Cost - £49.78 💰Savings - £9.11 (15.47% Cheaper) Nov 2024 🔥 Gas Total - 893.2 kWh 💷 Cost - £58.89 Could you save even more? 👀 Yes! On the Cosy Tariff: 💷 Cost - £41.51 💰Savings - £17.38 (30% Cheaper)
