🤩 Big news for 🇪🇺

A senior civil servant who ran the Brexit department from 2017–2019 has just said Britain should start talking seriously about rejoining the EU.

Philip Rycroft in The Times today: none of the Leave campaign’s “heady promises” have materialised.

Antiochus I built a fifty meter high artificial peak out of loose crushed rock at the summit of Mount Nemrut to hide his tomb. Modern archaeologists still cannot reach the burial chamber because the stones instantly collapse inward during any excavation attempt.
The sheer effort required to create a self sealing mountain makes you wonder what exactly he was trying to protect.

[Matthew Pennell @Matt_building]

I'm really looking forward to the Sofia, Hornsea and Dogger Bank wind farms coming onstream in the next year. I back cheap, clean and safe renewable energy generated in Britain.

Unlike oil and gas the price is not affected by geopolitical events, and it never runs out

[John Simpson @JohnSimpsonNews]

What a story. What a woman. What an example to every one of us.

[Brendan May @bmay]

Utter charlatan. I can see why he appealed to Jenrick, whose convictions last for less time than an episode of newsround.

[Reid Wiseman @astro_reid]

Jesse, Steve, Laddy, and Vlad….such an incredible feeling to welcome you aboard Integrity after a nearly 700,000 mile journey. Forever thankful for your service to our crew and the nation.

[Bikery @Bikery1966]

Why doesn’t anyone use the cycle paths?

[Jim Cornelius @Jim_Cornelius]

This is you, former Conservative MP, now sitting Reform MP, Andrew Rosindell, writing to former President of the United States, Joe Biden 6 years ago proposing the UK hands to Chagos islands to Mauritius and rents them back on a 99-year lease.

[Kevin Holland @TheSolarShed]

Every car park with over 100 spaces should be mandated to cover them with solar.

Retweet if you think @Ed_Miliband @mgshanks & @carla_denyer

should make this happen.

I’ve been saying two things in response to the fossil fools calling for more drilling in the North Sea - both are cutting through. First is we don't set the price of our own North Sea oil and gas, second is we have very little left, around 10%. More drilling can't help us with this energy (price) crisis and the idea of some kind of oil self sufficiency for Britain is a fantasy. Now comes this revelation - the hundreds of licences the Tories issued, over a 14 year period, in pursuit of this fantasy - resulted in just one months worth of gas being produced. The reality is starkly different to the fantasy Farage and Badenoch would have us believe.

Left: Kemi Badenoch says if we drill today that money could be used to subsidise energy bills

Right: Kemi Badenoch says no one is suggesting that if we drill today the money would subsidise energy bills

[LBC @LBC]

Headline: 'Kemi Badenoch will cut £200 off bills by drilling in North Sea'.
Actual quote: 'I'm not saying it's going to go straight onto your bills'.

James O'Brien wants to know what's going on with the 'drill baby drill' brigade.

[Liz Webster @LizWebsterSBF]

We’ve built cheap energy but we’re still pricing it like it’s expensive.

The UK uses a marginal pricing system, where the last (most expensive) generator sets the price. That’s usually gas.

So even when most of our electricity comes from cheap wind and solar, households still pay gas prices.
That’s why bills haven’t fallen.

Getting off gas pricing is about fixing the system by reforming the electricity market so gas no longer sets the price, building storage so we don’t rely on gas for backup, reconnecting with European energy systems to smooth supply, reducing gas demand through insulation and heat pumps, and continuing to expand renewables so gas is needed less and less.

Until we do that, cheap energy will keep being priced like expensive gas.

[Danny Baker @prodnose]

Everything rotten in Britain stems from this period. Everything.
Landlord rents. Shit in the rivers. Zero work hours. No British industry. Gas, electric bills through the roof,
No affordable housing.
All of it.

[Our Electric World @O_E_W]

Wow 90.3% renewables on a 113% generation 🤯

As we’re generating more than we need we’re exporting 9.2% to Europe and refilling pumped storage with another 4.2% 🙂

Elect a mayor who talks about bicycles. Cities designed for the bicycle tend to serve everyone: the rich and the poor, the young and the old. In transport policy, the bicycle is perhaps the most democratic instrument ever invented🚲

[Will Hutton @williamnhutton]

Ed Miliband gets relentless bile from the right for his ‘ideological’ commitment to clean, cheap renewable energy - just as Nye Bevan once did for creating the NHS. Yet on March 25 97.7 % of our electricity was from renewables. A revolution is unfolding. https://t.co/BdGG1gkHuD

Would absolutely hate to see a proper Paris-style defended cycle lane here in Camberwell so I could bike my son around without risk of getting smashed. Probably not enough space though. Look how cramped the motorists are.

[Bill Madden @maddenifico]

You will not see this on any American cable news station. Israel and war criminal Netanyahu are now bombing tents sheltering displaced Palestinians. This bombing occurred during a supposed ceasefire in southern Deir al-Balah in central Gaza Strip. 🥹 👇

[Israel Exposed @xIsraelExposedx]

Palestine, 1945, 3 years before israel existed.
