Moments like this tells you about leadership. The Tories and Reform would have rushed us into the conflict in the Middle East without thinking through the consequences it would have for British people. My Labour government will always make decisions in the national interest.

Sometimes there is too much wind for our outdated grid to handle, especially in Scotland and the East of England. Rather than paying wind farms to switch off we’re trialling a new system where people who live near these constrained areas get cheaper - or even free - electricity.

🔴 Stella Creasy nails it 👏 You can’t say our energy system has left us vulnerable… and then oppose the only things that actually make us independent. Oil and gas tie us to global markets. Renewables break that link. It really is that simple.

The key Net Zero chart that every campaigner must explain. And can't! No matter what pricing model your country has, no matter the precise makeup of its grid, no matter its other resources, the more wind and solar you have, the more expensive your electricity Please share

Time to get the 'big coat' back out 🧥 Temperatures are dropping widely below average but in brisk northerly winds, it will be feeling closer to freezing for many of us 🥶

My brother is an electrician who works in offshore wind. He sent me this photo of the largest turbine installation vessel in the world. Skilled jobs, good pay, & secure futures. While fossil fuels shed jobs & destroy the planet, renewables are delivering for the working class.

Net Zero Lunacy This concrete-filled monstrosity is underneath every wind turbine in our once green and pleasant land !
