@STEVE_MK_ @bradwellcommon To be honest that is the same issue all governing parties have had in recent times, and will for the foreseeable. Even Reform, if that time comes - people aren't voting Reform for unpalatable actions, are they?

They can’t fix anything because the unpalatable actions required gets vetoed by the back benches. He’s a hostage. And then the things they think are fixing things have far worse side effects… look at unemployment, govt borrowing costs, energy costs, tax burden, no jury trials.., and on.

This is looking really optimistic now

The View from Bradwell Common@bradwellcommon
My predictions for MK tomorrow: 1. Reform win a majority 2. Labour get wiped out 3. Tories stay wiped out 4. Lib Dems lose seats including Newport Pagnell Tentative seat projection: Reform - 30 Lib Dem - 12 Labour - 8 Conservatives - 7 Greens - 3

@bradwellcommon @STEVE_MK_ U-turning on most of the unpopular things they said they were going to do after taking all of the political damage definitely isn't helping either.
English
@STEVE_MK_ They’d be just as unpopular whoever the leader.
Their issue is that they are getting blamed for being unable to fix the mess they inherited within 12 months and having to do unpopular things to fix it.
Their lack of realism pre-election is also hitting them hard
English
6. I am, thankfully, bad at political predictions.
7. Should the council build a wall around Bletchley to contain the Reform problem?

@bradwellcommon You know things are a bit dicey when I am relieved at this news. Nice one @peterjgeary try not to be subject to any events which mean you'll need to step down. 👀

@roger_farley @DaveLunt97 I’m in touch with Ohme so will be back with news.

To help answer the questions on Intelligent Octopus Go changes coming in January we’ve written a blog and FAQ here octopus.energy/blog/intellige….
Should answer most questions but ping me if you’ve still got questions.

@agile_phil @mpeard @DaveLunt97 For clarity, what I am seeing is charge slots scheduled in the future set to a lower charging power - this can't be a result of the car or house load as the charger wouldn't know this would occur in the future. The car can and does accept 7kwh when it is specified in the schedule
English
@agile_phil @mpeard @DaveLunt97 This page? ohme-ev.com/support/troubl…
This appears to confirm what I am seeing as it states it may slow down the charge when Dynamic charging is on - this must be on when the charger is controlled by IOG.
English
@agile_phil can you help elaborate on this new policy?
I'm confused about the 6 offpeak hours and then 6 bonus hours. But your bonus hours can also be part of your off peak hours.
And if it smart charges (which we can't control) your going to charge us peak rate?
English
@agile_phil @mpeard @DaveLunt97 This faq? octopus.energy/blog/intellige…
Apologies, not seeing anything that appears immediately relevant to charging power.
English
English
@agile_phil @mpeard @DaveLunt97 You do slow the charge down, on Ohme chargers at least - the attached is a bad example because there's only two slots and the lower power one is now but it is common to see future slots with a slower charge power.
English
@mpeard @DaveLunt97 We don’t slow the charge down. If it does get slowed that’ll be the car and usually as it reaches 100%. The charger can sometimes constrain it if the whole home load is high but that’s rarer. New blog here octopus.energy/blog/intellige…

Cannot for the life of me understand why over-65s should have different ISA limits to the rest of us
John Stepek@John_Stepek
From April 2027, ISAs to be reformed to be made even more complicated - £12k in cash, £8k in investments, but over-65s excluded from cash cap (is this the Martin Lewis effect at work?)

@Wilt Hey Adrian, we’ve a blog here you may like octopus.energy/green/ and there’s a table showing the breakdown if you scroll down a little. That’ll be updated again in the next month too. 🐙💚

@OctopusEnergy where can I find your fuel mix disclosure? It doesn't seem to be very easy to find on the website.
English
@OctopusEnergy I assume that is 'No Comment' on Intelligent Octopus Go Fixed, then 🤣
English
@OctopusEnergy Yeah seen that, works out more expensive for me I'm afraid.
English
@OctopusEnergy is Intelligent Octopus Go Fixed going to make a return?

@NetatmoSupport thumbnails seem to have topped appearing for detected events in the timeline since some point between 10 and 12pm today. Videos themselves are working fine. Is this a known issue? Images from before this time are working fine.

@iD_Mobile_UK I see the 5G compatibility thread (community.idmobile.co.uk/community-arch…) on the community has been archived and doesn't seem to have been updated (eg. No Galaxy Z Flip 6) - does that mean all new 5G phones should be compatible?

Say “ooh we joined this at the right time” if a queue I join suddenly becomes much longer than when I first joined it.
