Centrica, owner of British Gas, has just announced profits of £3.3bn, more than triple the year before.
UK wholesale gas prices collapse to their lowest rate in 534 days. Your energy bills are up by 200%.
Result- they make £bns off you. A rip off.
Ofgem must lower bills now.
@EmmaKennedy We are a family of four. Both parents work full time in the public sector and we have been freezing most of this winter because we know we can’t afford increased payments. Appalling for so many worse off than us. It’s obscene.
New Nature Food paper by Erik Millstone & me reviews Conflicts of Interest declarations by UK food standards committee members. The idea of Food Standards Agency in 1999 was to be trustworthy indie scientific advice. We give method which others could use. https://t.co/CkIJEld2rC
Outrageously disrespectful to Qatar that the BBC didn’t broadcast the World Cup opening ceremony, and instead put out more virtue-signalling guff about how awful it is. If they’re that appalled, they should bring home their vast army of employees & spare us this absurd hypocrisy.
Given that Raab’s behaviour throughout his last spell was that of a spoilt child unhappy that he had been demoted after the Afghanistan fiasco, this news is hardly surprising.
The damage he did to the Justice System in only a few months was incalculable. https://t.co/BQkVBF0zb5
Just received a call from a high profile figure very supportive of my work but worried that my life is under threat.
‘Don’t get killed’ he said.
I have no fear of death especially when standing up for truth and justice.

@MetteMorph Attending any protest involving "serious disruption to two or more individuals or an organisation". "Serious disruption" (via the Police Act) now includes noise.
@GeorgeMonbiot The UK (at least the vast majority that care for individual human rights) needs to wake up to the horrendous attacks on our freedoms that are taking place. It is not just economic mayhem and benefits cut-backs, but an assault on the right to protest and Chinese-style monitoring.
Sorry to repeat myself, but you *really* need to know this.
Under the government's Public Order Bill, anyone who has protested in the previous 5 years can be forced to "submit to ... being fitted with, or the installation of, any necessary apparatus" to monitor your movements.
@leicspolice Why allow 100s of extremist Hindus to march in diverse areas in the first place, absolute failure from @leicspolice. Failure to keep peaceful communities safe from this hateful ideology.
@pritipatel@BorisJohnson You have achieved nothing other than to make our country smaller and meaner. You took pleasure in cruelty; most enthusiastically so when you could target it at society’s most vulnerable. Your departure improves politics more than anything else in your career has or ever could.
