@joenutt_author @AliBtait So is the issue that the children had never been taught the foundations so had nothing to build upon, rather than they lacked the mental capacity to learn how to do the graph?

@HadleyFreeman Is there no beginning to this man’s talents??!

[The Modern Miss @TheModernMiss1]

@daisychristo It’s quite useful to know and recall stuff in a power cut or when your phone’s battery runs flat. 🙄

[The Modern Miss @TheModernMiss1]

@Jan_Leeming 30+ years of published info about Mandy’s penchant for cultivating dodgy friendships. And yet never - not once in 30 years - did a single newspaper article about Mandelson’s unsuitability for any politically connected office ever cross Starmer’s desk. Quite astonishing.

[The Modern Miss @TheModernMiss1]

@AlStewartOBE There was a trail of 30+ years of info in the public domain about Mandelson’s political history - no vetting necessary to know that Mandelson was a liability who should never have been considered for any post whatsoever!

[The Modern Miss @TheModernMiss1]

@afneil He has repeatedly refused to answer: 1) Why ignore Simon Case’s advice 2) Mandelson’s links to Sistema 3) Why want Mandelson in the first place. Additionally 2 MPs have now outright called him a liar in the session.

[The Modern Miss @TheModernMiss1]

@nannyloulou @afneil That wouldn’t surprise me at all.

[The Modern Miss @TheModernMiss1]

@eddiesLeftFoot @afneil Quit in disgrace twice & known history of slippery behaviour. Starmer very, very reluctant to acknowledge the questions at all. This looks worse for him, not better.

[The Modern Miss @TheModernMiss1]

@KemiBadenoch Starmer has also refused to answer (by ignoring) each time he has been asked why he wanted to appoint Mandelson in the first place. Given the 30+ years of info already in the public domain about M, surely he was clearly an unsuitable liability even before any checks were done!

@rjwilliams90 @handsoff_marsh @renewablesmiffy @rjwilliams90 And if you look in the government website for these solar NSIPs you’ll see all the documentation relating to CA for the projects. If you have difficulty finding them then I can post the links.

[The Modern Miss @TheModernMiss1]

@rjwilliams90 @handsoff_marsh @renewablesmiffy @rjwilliams90 Of course CA is not unique to solar, it’s used for many large infrastructure projects. But the overwhelming public perception is that farmers are actively seeking out partnerships for ££. This is often not the case. The CA option for solar is kept very, very quiet.

[The Modern Miss @TheModernMiss1]

@rjwilliams90 @handsoff_marsh @renewablesmiffy @rjwilliams90 The solar company has the option to use compulsory purchase to either obtain the land outright or to acquire the right to use the land for panels. Alternatively the farmer, having been given these options, can choose to agree to their proposal. Which would you do?

[The Modern Miss @TheModernMiss1]

@handsoff_marsh @renewablesmiffy @handsoff_marsh That’s awful. I suspect Mr Smith’s ‘35 years & hundreds of solar projects’ means he works for a consultancy facilitating development. He claims he isn’t paid for this, but when challenged about the mismatch he blocked me. Hardly a grown-up response! 🤣

@renewablesmiffy @handsoff_marsh

[The Modern Miss @TheModernMiss1]

@renewablesmiffy @handsoff_marsh @renewablesmiffy Answer the question you seem so keen to avoid - what is better for the environment, developing greenfield sites or utilising already brownfield ones?

[The Modern Miss @TheModernMiss1]

@renewablesmiffy @handsoff_marsh How very generous to give your expertise for free - and over the course of 35 years too!

[The Modern Miss @TheModernMiss1]

@renewablesmiffy @BritishYusuf @ClaireCoutinho Compulsory purchase being part of solar power infrastructure needs to be admitted (and not denied) by those promoting it. People know roads & railways use CP, they assume solar doesn’t. There is nothing inconsistent in my position.

[The Modern Miss @TheModernMiss1]

@handsoff_marsh @renewablesmiffy @handsoff_marsh He works in the industry, apparently. So he has a direct financial benefit from denying this happens. Guess most landowners agree under duress rather than have their land subject to compulsory purchase.
