When the UK wind doesn't blow, we can get electricity via the interconnects with the continent, claim the Net Zero lunatics.

Not today they can't. Barely any wind, gas coming to the rescue and the interconnects providing just 5% of power

Looks like everyone is scrambling around

[Steve Scrase @StevenScrase]

@AllisonPearson Absolutely agree, Allison. We have an entire industry of Whitehall mandarins and activist lawyers who have never faced an ounce of danger, dedicating their careers to persecuting the very soldiers who stood between this country and savagery. Unforgivable.

[Rob Redhead @MCRobredz]

@LonsdaleKeith @AllisonPearson Correct, imagine if an earthquake not uncommon in Turkey disturbed the COP with it's epicentre nearby and the Private Jets were trashed? we can hope.

[Deborah Hampton @DeeChesterfield]

@AllisonPearson There is no virtue in leaving the citizens without a secure energy supply. Wishful thinking does not heat the homes of the elderly and disabled. Insufficient electricity will bring business grinding to a halt.

[Allison Pearson @AllisonPearson]

Peak Marie Antoinette from Miatta;

“Let them pay £300 a month energy bills while I commission more heavily-subsidised “cheap”windmills and count myself virtuous.”

British people need to call time on this elite fantasy.

On #ArmisticeDay we remember them … or what little we know of them.

My maternal grandfather (left) returned from the Somme with a silver plate in his head. Dead by the age of 31. I never knew him; and his children barely knew him such were his sufferings.

His sons joined the next war and did him proud.

His wife married another veteran of WW1 and cared for him until he succumbed to his injuries.

Having nursed soldiers throughout WW1, her philosophy was, that many men returning from war - although they did not fall in the field - had nevertheless lost their lives to their experiences.

#remembrance is every day.

Every. Singe. Day 🙏🇬🇧❤️

Does anyone else's head turn to mush while they're in the newborn phase? The skepticism and overthinking has left my body and all I can do is smile and coo over a beautiful baby. I hope my bitterness and paranoia come back soon.

[Allison Pearson @AllisonPearson]

Perhaps Katie would like to explain how ordinary families are supposed to afford £300 a month to keep their kids warm and fed?

[Andrew Montford @aDissentient]

This is a barefaced lie.

[Allison Pearson @AllisonPearson]

Nothing like choosing Armistice Day to run more disgusting allegations against our very bravest soldiers - the legendary SAS.

There are timid deskjockeys who want our warriors destroyed - they fear courage and martial prowess.

[Maggie Oliver @MaggieOliverUK]

Day 2 of our groundbreaking Judicial Review today.

Still consumed in legal arguments as the govt says they don’t HAVE to do anything. Public enquiries have no legal obligation to implement any recommendations! And by NOT bringing in the recommendations of IICSA they argue there in “NO DETRIMENT” to anyone!!!! Just unbelievable, disgusting, offensive and totally contemptuous….

They don’t have to act on recommendations, that’s of course true. But what arrogance! How insensitive and dismissive of all survivors and victims who believed the promises made to them - that retraumatising themselves to bring change were just empty words! Empty promises!!

And of course it begs the question, why are we going into yet ANOTHER public enquiry …. That’s the real question here …. And why spend billions of public money on public enquiries….. it seems as though it’s just another way to avoid action and accountability and kick the ball down the road!!! 😡😡😡

But we @TMOFCharity are fighting this to the death and doing our best to expose the hypocrisy and lies of successive governments!

We and our incredible legal team Howe and Co can but try….

[Sgt Maj Frenchie @SgtMajFrenchie]

Today I travelled to a village near Exeter with my friend James. At 11 o’clock we stood at the grave of Jack Sadler, who was killed in Afghanistan in 2007. Jack was quiet and kind with a rich, dry humour. Remembering Trooper Jack Sadler, HAC…. our friend. #RemembranceDay

[Michael Wheller @michael_wheller]

@energygovuk @SkyNews This takes no account of the additional costs to upgrade the grid to accept unreliable wind generated electricity that on sone days is zero.

No 21st century first world economy can rely on this type of electricity generation.

@KatieJWhite and @Miatsf should know this.

[San Mac💜💚🤍 XX @SanMac44569387]

@energygovuk @SkyNews We're paying zillions for wind farms to turn off when it's too windy and paying millions for gas when there's no wind.
You need to fix the infrastructure before more wind farms.
Is there anyone in government with half a brain?

[Desiree Fixler @desireefixler]

She is lying. This money, your money, will be spent on failed projects and consultants.

Hold her and Labour to account for outright theft.

[Department for Energy Security and Net Zero @energygovuk]

✅£12 billion for two major UK offshore wind farms, powering millions of homes and supporting thousands of jobs.

Minister for Climate Transition Katie White explains how we’re building clean energy at home and accelerating the global transition at #COP31.

[Steve Scrase @StevenScrase]

Think about the sheer cynicism of the timing. Today is 11 November—Armistice Day. Across the country, ordinary Brits are standing in silence at war memorials to honour the men who bled and died for this nation. And how does our state broadcaster mark the occasion? By splashing a grainy dark photograph across its front page with the headline: "New photos are 'essential evidence' of possible SAS war crimes, inquiry told".

They couldn't wait twenty-four hours.

What we are witnessing at the Afghanistan Inquiry is not the pursuit of justice. It is a coordinated, eight-year crusade driven by a triangle of activist journalists, human-rights law firms, and risk-averse Whitehall bureaucrats who view Britain’s elite warfighters with contempt.

Look at the machinery behind these headlines. For nearly a decade, a dedicated unit inside BBC Panorama—led by Hannah O’Grady and Joel Gunter—has worked in lockstep with human-rights solicitors at Leigh Day and anti-military NGOs like Action on Armed Violence to hunt the men of 22 SAS. When Inquiry Counsel Oliver Glasgow KC drops a selective line in court, lobby correspondents at Sky News and The Guardian transcribe it as gospel. Have we learned nothing from the Iraq Historic Allegations Team (IHAT) farce? Back then, the exact same legal-media ecosystem dragged thousands of British soldiers through a decade of hell over alleged war crimes in Basra, burning £60 million of public money before the whole thing collapsed with zero murder convictions and lawyer Phil Shiner struck off in disgrace.

Now look at yesterday’s "bombshell." Lieutenant Colonel John Harvey, the Royal Military Police Gold Commander who ran Operation Northmoor, told the inquiry that photographs from 2011 Helmand night raids "cried out for examination", yet never sent them to forensic experts. Think about that for a second. Operation Northmoor lasted five years, cost over £10 million, had more than a hundred investigators, and ended in zero charges and zero convictions. Now, fifteen years after the event, the investigator in charge complains that his team didn't check the photos properly—and the media spins his admin incompetence as proof of an SAS cover-up!

Even worse is how this witch hunt started. As the Inquiry’s own disclosures have let slip, the initial briefings against the SAS didn't come from the operators taking fire in Taliban compounds; they came from staff officers sitting in headquarters and petty inter-regimental rivalries, amplified by an MoD legal bureaucracy terrified of the ECHR. Ever since judges extended the ECHR onto foreign battlefields, Whitehall’s permanent civil service has treated our soldiers as sacrificial lambs to appease international courts.

In 2011, the British state sent young men into the most lethal provinces of Afghanistan night after night to dismantle Taliban networks in pitch darkness. When they came home, the state handed them over to civilian lawyers with slow-mo replays and hindsight. As Brigadier Ed Butler, President of the SAS Regimental Association, rightly warned, this relentless lawfare is actively disarming Britain. Who in their right mind will volunteer for Special Forces selection tomorrow when they know that fifteen years later, a BBC journalist and a KC will be picking through photographs of a firefight to put them in prison?

The Tories talked tough for fourteen years, yet it was a Conservative Defence Secretary who set up the Inquiry and left our veterans at the mercy of the ECHR. Labour’s Attorney General is cut from the exact same cloth. Only Reform UK has had the backbone to draw a line in the sand—with Zia Yusuf and new Shadow Armed Forces Minister Angus MacIntyre (himself a 40-year veteran) pledging to end the persecution of our veterans within 100 days and strip human-rights lawfare out of combat operations.

On Armistice Day of all days, this national self-harm needs to stop.

[Catherine McBride OBE @CeeMacBee]

You would think the UK's "Climate Transition" Minister would know that this 'windy little island' has had almost NO wind for 3 days.

But she doesn't, probably because she is one of the 100s of MPs, public sevants, and climate activists attend COP in Turkey at UK taxpayers expense.

[Allison Pearson @AllisonPearson]

Where ARE the quality wind jobs?
Thousands of oil workers have lost their jobs.

[Miatta Fahnbulleh @Miatsf]

Investment in offshore wind and clean power is creating quality jobs and rebuilding industry, while delivering the clean power we need to lower bills and reach net zero.

As the world gathers at COP31, Britain is leading from the front as a renewable energy powerhouse, turning the fight against climate change into a brighter future for British companies, industrial communities, and future generations.
