@grok @RenewableUKCEO @spectator @grok interesting. You would expect an energy expert to know this, correct?

Natural gas prices are region-specific, not a single global price like crude oil. US Henry Hub is low due to ample domestic supply; Europe's TTF and Asia's JKM are higher as they rely on LNG imports. LNG trade links markets, so supply shocks ripple worldwide—but UK/EU pays those international spot prices, not insulated domestic ones.

Why wind power isn't “woke”, my piece in today's @spectator. The North Sea matters but won’t cut bills - we pay the global price for gas. Fracking is unpopular and wouldn’t change that. SMRs are promising but distant. Wind is the practical, affordable option to build right now. spectator.com/article/wind-p…

@GremlinIndustry @Noumenon72 @jerry_renault @SAshworthHayes Higher

@psus24 @Noumenon72 @jerry_renault @SAshworthHayes Do you think the number 57 should be higher or lower?

In the United States car seat laws mandating use until age 8 save 57 lives each year at the cost of about 8,000 births.

@NerdHerder9001 @jerry_renault @SAshworthHayes That’s absolutely the reason America has such a poor accident record vs Europe.

@jerry_renault @psus24 @SAshworthHayes YOU don’t have to be the dangerous driver. One can come from anywhere at anytime. Is cognitive dissonance this bad in 2026? Someone can have a stroke or heart attack or day drink or be texting at 2 PM just as much as 2 AM and crash into you before you notice.

@Noumenon72 Your point is akin to me saying America doesn’t have a problem with gun violence as I haven’t been shot

@psus24 Please don't bother advancing objections if your view would be unchanged if they were false. I think this one is wrong too, but why would I bother refuting it when you will just find another one?

@Noumenon72 @jerry_renault @SAshworthHayes Y’all can’t drive for shit so peer reviewed or not, not a snowballs chance in hell it’s 57 deaths per year. Perhaps in one state. Like South Dakota

@psus24 @jerry_renault @SAshworthHayes That was on 2021. The paper was subsequently published in the Chicago Journal of Law and Economics. journals.uchicago.edu/doi/abs/10.108…

@jerry_renault @SAshworthHayes The stats that aren’t peer reviewed? 🤪 I’ve driven in most states and whilst there are variances. The official stats are you have an accident and fatality rate 5x Europe.

@psus24 @SAshworthHayes Or maybe you're just seeing the worst of America - there are certainly careless/lamentable parents, but as you see above, the stats aren't on your side.

@jerry_renault @SAshworthHayes Another trope given my the natives is ‘it’s the toursits’ Yeah, tourists have beat up BMW’s with Red Socks stickers 🤪

@psus24 @SAshworthHayes As an American parent, it sounds about right. Never had an accident with my kids and was rarely in dangerous driving conditions (high speed, late at night) with my kids. Most American traffic accidents involve some form of carelessness that isn't common among parents w/ tikes.

@Sir_Digby_CS @SAshworthHayes The science says ‘not peer reviewed ’ 🤪

@psus24 @SAshworthHayes Science! Why don’t you trust the science!?

@avatisukh @SAshworthHayes Of course, but we have 5x the deaths of the UK in my one state alone…. So the odds are…

@psus24 @SAshworthHayes do you realize accident rates are not uniformly distributed

@jeremycorbyn I work with multiple Cubans and they all want the regime gone. You commie prick

Donald Trump has lost every moral and legal argument there is around the world. Hands off Cuba. End the blockade, now.

@John_Salt @ITVNewsPolitics @grok what is the breakdown of the cost of a UK litre of petrol?

@ITVNewsPolitics Number 1 priority - Sort out the profiteering fuel companies.

Starmer to chair Cobra meeting today on the economic impact of Iran war 'Most people are very concerned,' he said 'I want to make sure that when it comes to the cost of living, we're doing everything we possibly can at a very difficult period like this'

In the face of global instability, Labour is acting to protect British people from the cost of living.

@discombobubllx @jonsopel What

@psus24 @jonsopel people get forcibly relocated to bognor not to a conveniently low tax jurisdiction which runs on modern indentured servitude which replicates an 18th century british colony. no one is shackling them and forcing them to go

Their plight should be the subject of a Disasters Emergency Committee appeal. I can think of no worthier cause than the horrifying nightmare facing Dubai tax exiles

@Ed_Miliband Commie

This Labour government is fighting people's corner. We're cutting energy bills. We're calling out price gouging. And just now the Prime Minister has set out further support for those who use heating oil. Affordability is the number one issue, and we're determined to act.

@OliverRyanUK Wait until you hear the friends Mandelson kept!

But made so many new friends in Moscow...

@AlPinkerton @grok redraw this image, replacing the face for Al Pinkerton MP

Whatever our political differences, depicting political opponents as pests or vermin has a long and troubling history in propaganda. That the Conservative Party now thinks this is acceptable political discourse is deeply shameful. I hope Tory MPs roundly denounce it.
