Last night we came very close to blackouts and at one point were paying an eye-watering £5,500/MWh to keep the lights on.
A must read from @KathrynPorter26.

Norfolk County Council has voted to cancel the May elections, their position is to deny my constituents of Great Yarmouth and the surrounding areas their democratic right to vote.
Let me be abundantly clear - this is an outrage.
Cowards, running scared of the people they are supposed to represent. Are we living in a third world dictatorship, where inconvenient elections can be cancelled by those in power?
I am disgusted. How dare they? The arrogance is absolutely astounding. We live in a democracy. That means voting, even when it's not comfortable for the establishment.
Their primary motivation is to keep their seats. It is that simple, and it is a disgraceful abuse of power. All councillors who voted for this cancellation should be ashamed of themselves.
From May 1st, I won't be referring to the individuals who voted for the May election ban as 'councillors'. They gave that right up when they voted to deprive my constituents of their democratic vote.
This is not acceptable in a democratic society. There is NO justification for what they are doing.
We will do everything in our power to fight it.
Liz Truss has served Keir Starmer a cease and desist notice for defamation, over his repeated false allegation that she "crashed the economy."
Since the mini-budget, the Bank of England has admitted fault for at least two-thirds of the rise in GILT prices, causing the pound to plunge against the dollar.
Their mismanagement of Liability-Driven Investments (LDIs) caused the crisis to coincide with the budget announcement.
GDP growth did not fall as a result of the budget; and the Bank of England even made a £3.5 billion profit on their market intervention.
@trussliz was not to blame for the rise in interest rates or fall in GILT yields, by the Bank's own admission. So yet again, Keir Starmer is not telling the truth.
It was a simple question from @Councillorsuzie to the Deputy Mayor for Policing - what level does she want financial reserves to be? Unfortunately, the Deputy Mayor doesn't seem to know:
🚨This video was almost 6 years ago now.
This was when I confronted Telford police about the grooming scandal and got one of their senior officers to slip up and admit to 40 YEARS of evidence of child grooming in Telford!
At the time the media and police had only reported of 20 years of child grooming 😡
Health Sec @wesstreeting advises pensioners to 'layer up and turn on heating' during cold snap. Doesn't he understand because of Labour policy he backed they can't afford to put on heating
The government had 10 years to come up with a plan for social care before they came into power.
Now, @wesstreeting has announced an independent inquiry that will take *another* 3 years.
We have a crisis right now in social care. Are we supposed to wait?

Since 1997 there have been no less than 25 commissions, select committee inquiries & white papers on social care.
Labour - who admit social care is in crisis, & that the NHS cannot be fixed without it - just responded by...
... announcing the 26th one 😳
I don’t care what side of politics you are on, every single person in the UK should be focused on protecting children that have and are being groomed, abused, raped, tortured, trafficked and murdered.
Children should always be at the forefront.
It really is as simple as that.
Starmer is as, ‘guilty as anyone I know’, says grooming gang whistleblower Maggie Oliver ‘I don’t trust a single one of those entrusted with keeping our children safe and prosecuting serial rapists. They’ve failed. Repeatedly. Knowingly. Criminally.’ https://t.co/383QpBEPZq
The Times: ‘Jailed rapist given chance to see his victim’s child’.
Rotherham council have offered convicted rapist access to my son.
This is happening all over the UK and must stop! An investigation and change in law is needed.
