Huge cheer for the Teddies boat taking to the water . Well done on a great race and a memorable win .

@MartinSLewis I would like to buy an electric car and use off peak power to charge it . I have been told the company managing the smart meter network will make no further attempts to get my smart meter connected for the next two years . I live I an area of poor mobile signal strength. Stuck

WHY ARE ENERGY STANDING CHARGES SO HIGH? The high energy standing (daily) charges are a moral hazard and should be reduced. It is outrageous that people have to pay £300/yr just for the facility of having gas & electricity even if they use none. While energy price cap & bills drop an avg 17% this Sat, that ISN'T equal for all:- - Standing charges remain unchanged - Elec unit rate is dropping roughly 10% - Gas unit rate is dropping roughly 25% So higher users, especially with gas will see a bigger than 17% drop. Lower users, especially electricity only, will see a lower than 17% drop. Keeping the standing charge high means lower users can save proportionately less and less by reducing usage - that disempowers them. I have long campaigned for lower standing charges. MSE is submitting a consultation on this about shifting some of the cost the the unit rates. The reason Ofgem mandates firms to have high standing charges in the price cap is because they use it to pay for the 'fixed costs' of energy (distribution, transmission etc) - which it believes should be mostly shared equally. It is especially loaded onto the electricity standing charge as that is 'more universal'. I think a more progressive split would be better, by putting a bigger proportion of the cost on the unit rate. And in past polls I've done on here the huge majority agree. One stumbling block is the argument from Citizens Advice, an organisation I have great respect for. Its concern is that if you shift the burden, some vulnerable people with disabilities and medical issues that make them high users will suffer. Of course the correct solution to that is lower the standing charge but give them separate support. Yet that would involve an energy market that wasn't broken and the regulator and government to operate in concert. So we're in a chicken and egg situation. Still on balance I think the fair thing to do is lower the standing charge (and campaign for help for the high using vulnerable at the same time). Yet I wanted to bash this out quickly as I saw much debate on it after my earlier tweets, and I wanted to explain some of the bigger picture.

@MartinSLewis @10GrandToes The standing charge went up by a huge percentage during the crises . When will they reduce to marmalade levels or are the new standing charges now the normal lowest rates we can expect ?

@10GrandToes A minority bit significant chunk of standing charges covers firms that e gone bust and the rest as I explained covers fixed costs. So we're not disagreeing on that. What I'm saying is some of those costs should be recouped by unit rate not standing charge

@johnredwood The side event to the last COP at the sconce museum (I think) in London showcased many new technologies such as large fuel cell units designed for trucks and data centre power back up. Large reduction in CO2 by moving to natural gas local cells to replace gas turbines

Instead of just telling us to invest in more renewables COP 27 needs to say how we keep the lights on when the wind dos not blow and the sun does not shine. What technologies do they back to solve this problem?

@MerrynSW Much of the capital gain accrued on a house is due to inflation when looking at the longer term . CGT on primary residence has been floated as an idea many times . It seems to be used as a diversionary tactic amd also a story the press love to cover , as it sells papers .

Only works if you cancel stamp duty at same time. Do that and it’s a brilliant idea. As we have been saying for 22 years.

@MerrynSW Wasn’t the original edinburgh tram@project massivley@over budget amd several years late @with everyone involved seeming@to@play the blame game ? The end result was very good but lots of pain to reach that point for everyone involved including local residents .

This is insane. No one could be proud of an F up as monumental as this one. Hey Lesley, how about you pop down to london road and check out the traffic carnage. Proud?!?!?

@bbcproms @RoyalAlbertHall Anyone else stuck in the queue with the position counter not moved for last five mins ?

We know that many of you will be disappointed but we can confirm that there are still some Promming tickets available for both Proms 3 & 5! tickets.royalalberthall.com/booking/produc… tickets.royalalberthall.com/booking/produc…

As anticipated, there was exceptionally high demand for the CBeebies Proms and seated tickets are now sold out. We’re aware that some people may have been able to get into the queue before 9am but no tickets could be purchased.

Looking forward to seeing as many people as possible at NSR 2019 on the Nelo stand in the trade village . Good luck to all competitors and lets hope the weather is kind.

Never forgotten.
