@JP_Biz @DarranMarshall In effect saying more ongoing public spending cuts are on the way. At least George Osborne said he was doing so when introducing austerity

DFM says this Treasury exercise was ‘very superficial’ & ‘does not stand up to scrutiny.’ Bats away any suggestion of significant revenue raising.

Stormont ministers would have £3bn a year extra to spend on public services if they increased rates, introduced water charges and made thousands of workers redundant, a Treasury review has suggested. bbc.in/4cBh8q7

@JP_Biz I agree John. Surely the structure of the pricing model requires attention?

Electricity produced from biomethane isn’t really going to insulate anyone from geopolitical price swings unless there’s also a proposal to end the current system of marginal pricing.

WATCH: Anaerobic Digestion: A Solution for Food and Energy Security in Northern Ireland. The Ulster Unionist Party is bringing forward a motion on Monday to turbocharge anaerobic digestion a game-changing opportunity for Northern Ireland. We produce the world’s best farm food. Now it’s time to turn farm and food waste into biomethane and electricity through anaerobic digestion, delivering real energy security, insulating us from geopolitical shocks and price spikes, while strengthening food security for generations. We’re calling on all parties in the Assembly to back this and urge the Executive to make it happen.

@bbctheview @EoinTennyson @MarkCarruthers7 More unionist bashing by Eoin. Only unionists by the way - never anyone else. So easy to see the narrative.

"The DUP were cheerleading the illegal war in Iran...."

@JP_Biz @ConsumerCouncil Any sign of a reduction by the government’s?

Average petrol price in NI was £1.53 last week according to @ConsumerCouncil . That’s up more than 25p a litre since early March. Diesel was at £1.86, up more than 50p a litre since March.

F-T: Ulster 28, Ospreys 24
Brutal for the Ospreys as what would have been a match-winning late try from Kieran Hardy is controversially ruled out with Owen Watkins’ scoring pass adjudged to be forward. A huge TMO call to decide this Challenge Cup last 16 tie.

@eogfelton @JP_Biz @IEA If only the UK had some grown up government, never mind the basket case that is Stormont

A couple of numbers to keep in mind, via the @IEA - during the pandemic in 2020 global oil demand fell by c9m barrels per day compared to 2019. That reflected almost total shut down in aviation & hugely reduced driving.
The Iran war has removed c11m barrels per day.

@ParcoPorta @JP_Biz @IEA Government has already reduced excise on petrol and diesel. High taxes on fuel help to keep us off increased dependency on oil that comes from unstable regions, not to mention how polluting it is.

If you’ve watched, gracefully rate it out of 10.

Well that certainly puts the "merger" joke in context.

Asked why he didn't coordinate with allies before going to war with Iran, Trump says, "We didn't tell anyone about it. Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor, OK?"

@Ryder56004614 Haha found that last year on my cycle around, I will be visiting it again next week, bike is packed and ready! Strand bar is my local next week 🍻😉😍

We’ve got two decent days back to back in Donegal! I’ve just had a lovely four mile walk to this stretch of the Wild Atlantic Way, pushing my leccy scooter for a slow ride back. Beautiful. ❤️🇮🇪

@SorchaEastwood There is no genocide in Gaza. Hamas are just losing the war they started.
English
It is possible to call out a Genocide in Gaza, call out Hamas, call out anti-semitism, call out the IRGC, Houthis, call out Trump & Netanyahu and their illegal war and also want Iranians to live in peace free from oppression. None of that is mutually exclusive to me. My work reflects all of that, not some of it. All of it. If that draws criticism, so be it. But please be accurate.
