@HJB_News__ This is after the marathon has finished, and the volunteers who were handing out water to runners have gone. It’s just water in bottles of no real value.

@BBCNews By the way, Los Angeles is 8 hours behind, not ahead! Look at the clock on the mantelpiece 🤦🏻♂️

Epstein sent $75,000 to accounts linked to Mandelson, files suggest bbc.in/45EanRR

@JonahFisherBBC @nationaltrust @nationaltrust is actively intervening in Essex which is at odds with their policy in Studland, Dorset where "No active intervention allows nature to take its course either on undefended coast or by the removal of current defences” and have chosen to “let nature take its course”
English
Can sinking old barges in an Essex estuary stop salt-marshes eroding away? Climate change is set to bring more intense storms and rising sea-levels - so @nationaltrust has undertaken what it calls "the ultimate recycling project"

@afneil And when the wind farms blow too much, the grid can’t handle it and we have to pay the providers to turn their turbines off!
English
Pity he wasn’t asked about the fact he’ll need to build new gas plants too, as back up for when the wind farms don’t blow. He gets too easy a ride.

Very good from Ed Miliband on wind energy, "The cost of building new generation gas would be higher than off shore wind" "Off shore wind prevents the need for expensive gas plants to run" "Off shore wind farms will provide enough power to supply 12 million homes" "Also on energy security and sovereignty" "When Russia invaded Ukraine and prices went through the roof and we were subject to the markets controlled by petro states and dictators" "This is home grown clean power that we control"

@BBCBreakfast @BBCWatchdog had better get ready for a flurry of complaints off the back of this latest green initiative about cowboy installers
English
Households will be eligible for thousands of pounds' worth of solar panels and other green tech to lower their energy bills.
Energy Secretary Ed Miliband spoke to #BBCBreakfast

@BBCBreakfast The only people who will make money out of this will be the cowboy installers - Government always fail to regulate and police the providers/installers - double-glazing, cavity wall and lift insulation, solar panels and now heat pumps.

@FredduSpatula These lines are present at all pedestrian
crossings. (Pelican, Puffin and Zebra) It is illegal to even stop (to let someone out), let alone park.

My trip to the hospital this afternoon, will prove to be very unlucky for this BMW driver parked on the white zig zag lines. It's a shame more pedestrians don't report drivers like this one. Even if you were to report just one a week, it all helps......

@cleanupbritain @NationalHways The problem is the people who chuck their cans and packets out of their windows. They create the problem.
English
This is a slip road onto the M2 motorway in Kent. But it could be anywhere in the country. The motorway network is a total cesspit and @NationalHways - with its £5 BILLION annual budget - doesn’t care what you think. It’s a national scandal that needs exposing.

Sports Personality of the Year is a show for people who don’t watch sport for the rest of the year so they can catch up with (some of) what has been going on #SPOTY

Did Clare Balding spill something down the outfit she planned to wear tonight and had to wear that suit instead? #SPOTY

@asentance My simple thinking (correct me please if misguided) is that economic growth provides revenue for the exchequer through increased corporation tax/income tax/VAT etc which can then fund government objectives/projects. Increasing taxation to do so acts to dampen economic growth,yes?
English
No great surprise that UK GDP fell in October with all the Budget uncertainty and contradictory statements from the Chancellor. However, the figures also highlight the fact that the Budget did little to support growth. Not good news for Rachel Reeves. share.google/BwUcs1UqJAnCoH…

A magnificent night at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea beat Barcelona 3-0, and it could have been more. The fans were incredibly noisy, making for a brilliant atmosphere rewarded by an excellent performance from the Chelsea players.

@simonnread Financial institutions are keen to have senior FCA staff as Heads of Compliance or on their executive boards and are willing to pay good salaries - so FCA have to pay well just to keep them. Also FCA take experienced senior staff from the financial industry but have to match pay.
English
A total of 43 FCA staff were paid more than £200,000 last year. Directors’ salaries ranged up to £492,000 with eight directors being handed more than £300,000 a year.
Good value?
