Words like ‘piss up’ and ‘brewery’ spring to mind when reading about the Tory’s latest flop - not one single bid for a new offshore wind project in the latest green energy contest. The reason is simple, the price has been driven too low. Developers are already walking away from contracts won in the last round - where offshore hit ‘record’ but clearly unsustainably low prices.
At the root of it is a Tory addiction to market solutions - right now it’s resulting in no projects, but even when it does produce results, the benefits go to foreign owned companies. British taxpayers guarantee profit margins for foreign investors - it sucks value out of our economy. The proper alternative is to build in public ownership, keep the benefits here.
Britain is the Saudi Arabia of wind (in that we have a lot of it) - and still the hapless Tory govt can’t get any built. Dogged adherence to a failed ideology is the reason - markets don’t always know best. Roll on the election.
We’ve lost quite a few followers this week for being critical of the Conservatives.
But we can’t just sit back and watch them destroy the NHS.

Must be doing something right...my words about anti-foodbank MP & his wages being twisted by the Tories today into trying to label me an education 'snob''....what a joke...🙄
They can't think of anything else to have a go at....
HOWEVER, I'll let my record in education do the talking inc
helping 500,000 children with their maths during lockdown...giving bursaries for young people and schools with disadvantaged backgrounds like mine....helping Blunkett introduce the Numeracy Hour....governor of inner city school......education books for decades.....recognised STEM Ambassador....I could go on.
Always a believer in encouraging young people to achieve their best, in whichever way that comes around, to be strong and happy and confident.
Anything else being espoused is offensive, targeted, predictable Right Wing nonsense.
PS Tories....this attack won't work. It just makes us more determined.
PPS thanks for all your support...we'll beat them in the end ❤️❤️

Everything wrong with our politics, in one story:
Hedge fund manager buys large estate on Dartmoor.
Uses vast fortune to challenge the right to camp there. Wins.
Local people call on their MP to amend the legislation.

London loses its top spot as the most valuable European stock market to….

Which is confusing…
They must be going through a different war in Ukraine, global energy spike & interest rate crisis to us.
By the way, is everyone enjoying Brexit?

I think some items on this list are over simplified, but imagine if the government action that caused them had not been taken, we’d be rich! No cost of living crisis, No recession!
Why is there so little seeming focus in the energy crisis debate about the catastrophe facing small businesses? Significant numbers are too small to hedge costs, their monthly power bills have quintupled over 18 months and they are…
