When Rishi Sunak entered Downing Street as Prime Minister a year ago, he promised a government of 'integrity, professionalism and accountability at every level'.

Yeah, right...

Adrian,

Why are you worried about the BBC? You watch GB News...

'does the placing come before,or after the news....that's the dilema?'

Well, they have just done one so I would say before, before and after and then after again. Unless they choose to look for a farm in / to sell to someone with deep pockets and keep a small free carry [which might be the best idea].

Volvo EX30

New Volvo small electric SUV can be purchased on a lease for $28,745 in the US = £23.4k. Dirt cheap for a new electric vehicle. Made in China... what will UK GOV do? Let them in tariff-free? Maybe a 30% tariff? Will they ring-fence tariffs to subsidise home-grown batteries / battery research?

$unak promised ‘integrity, professionalism and accountability at every level’ and overlooks Cameron's sleazy grifting: "What is the Greensill scandal overshadowing David Cameron’s return to cabinet?"

I was not aware of the growing importance of synchronous condensers as power sources change and renewables become a greater part of the mix. The article states that Siemens Energy is the market leader but they are down over 30% over the last year. I asked Claude.AI: "who makes synchronous condensers"

Answer:

There are a few major companies that manufacture synchronous condensers:

- Siemens - Siemens is a large German industrial manufacturing company that makes a variety of power generation and transmission equipment including synchronous condensers. They offer condensers ranging from 30 MVA to 320 MVA.

- General Electric (GE) - GE is another very large multinational company that produces synchronous condensers under their Power Conversion division. Their condenser offerings range from 25 MVA to 250 MVA.

- ABB - ABB is a Swiss-Swedish multinational corporation that manufactures synchronous condensers up to 350 MVA. They offer both air-cooled and hydrogen-cooled condenser models.

- Voith - Voith is a German engineering company that manufactures hydroelectric and condensing equipment. They make synchronous condensers up to 200 MVA for utilities and industrial applications.

- Electromechanical Engineering Associates (EEA) - EEA is an American company specializing in condenser manufacturing. They make condensers ranging from 15 MVA to 100 MVA capacity.

Some other companies that manufacture synchronous condensers include Hitachi, Toshiba, Fuji Electric, SPX Transformer Solutions, and Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL). The major applications for synchronous condensers are power factor correction, voltage control, and reactive power compensation in electrical transmission systems.

That is cracking research for free and in an instant. You need an account (there is a free option suited to disposable email addresses) to use it but I have found it to be very capable.

Gate13Boy,

The Bank Levy was introduced from 1 January 2011; who was in power then? If you are going to try to stir scare around an incoming Labour GOV at least root your stories in reality. Or have you caught the Brexit fever so bad that the thought of an incoming GOV wanting better ties with the EU has made you delusional?

Gate13Boy,

May 2010 CONservatives take power, SP was 52p. 13 years later, the SP is down 20%. Do you really think it is going to be that difficult to do better?

The share price underperforms because the political masters are steering the economy in reverse... it is all linked.

Adrian - are you not getting cramp from typing over 50 posts so far today? What happens if you damage your pint hand?

"we believe Theormrx has STRONG access to capital"

So, why have they not paid any money to VAL despite signing that Letter of Intent 2 years ago? If money is not the hurdle, what is the problem?

Nigel Farage to sue NatWest and wants a class action over bank account closures

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/nov/11/nigel-farage-to-take-legal-action-against-natwest-over-closure-of-bank-accounts

If it is a class action lawsuit he gets to benefit from the merits of others cases whilst only having to pay a fraction of the costs and getting even more self-publicity. Genius or grifting?
