I live near a wind farm. If the wind is too strong the turbines have to be powered down as it could either overload the grid or damage them. Solar? Hows that work in the uk when there is no sun most of the time.

"Renewables won't save the day in our lifetime either:)" Nope, sun does not always shine and wind does not always blow (if too much they have to switch the turbines off for fear of equipment damage or overloading grid.

""“ Clean renewable energy with Great British Energy is the way forward to self-sufficiency ”

Yes if the sun is shining and the wind blowing (not too hard though we shut the system down if it is).

No probably gets paid thousands to be on the board of something or other.

"Rachel has multiple options to raise additional taxes... " Why not raise them all? #She_will

"The UK will benefit from the arrival of more skilled workers from India under a new deal, Narendra Modi has said.

India and the UK have agreed an arrangement which will make it easier for people from each country to go to the other and work on a temporary basis."

In other words we will send the dodgy characters we don't want and you won't be able to get rid.

Would how many will enter on the coat-tails of these 'workers'.

" A billionaire shipping tycoon who said the UK had “gone to hell” has put his £250m London mansion up for sale after fleeing Britain." It's like the 1970s all over again! All we need are more strikes. Where's my bell bottoms and Slade records?

"Spoke to someone who said a lot of their young daughters just want to be "influencers", do tiktok and talk on their phones all day." * a lot of their friends young daughters.

"Starmer is off on another jolly to the NATO summit. As he won't have much input he thought it prudent to announce an increase in the defence budget to 5% of GDP. However, not before 2035. " No amount of billions spent on tanks, planes, ships etc will stop the real enemy arriving daily on our shores.

Labours magic money tree has grown again!

"We are bankrupt of ideas and money, and no politician, not even Reform are offering to reinstate real inflation measures." Think Reform will get rid of Nutty Zero which would be a good start. Our high energy costs has a huge knock-on effect on most businesses. Not forgetting that NI increase debacle.

"It means that employers have cut 150,500 jobs since October, when Ms Reeves angered bosses by hitting them with a steep tax rise.” Every other post on local social media is a small business closing down...some after years in operation.

"In 2024, the UK experienced a significant net outflow of millionaires, losing 10,800 individuals, a 157% increase from the previous year. " It's like back to the 1970s...where's my flares and Slade albums? All we need now is another "Winter of Discontent".

"Obviously the market thinks its shxx" not suprised after that plank Lammy and others comments about Trump pre his election win.

"Today I can announce the first step - 3,000 new neighbour officers, being onboarded by the start of next year." = social media police for "hurty words" no doubt.
