Of course Mothin Ali would go and defend Dr Ghassan Abu Sitta, a medical doctor who is accused of supporting terrorism. Ali posted on October 7th that “White supremacist European settler colonialism must end” with the ‘Al-Aqsa Flood’ hashtag. A charming pair.

Dear Lance, taking a single snapshot on one day of weather dependent power generation is disingenuous and does not represent the full performance of a system. One could quite as easily find a day with no wind and cloud where wind and solar are providing very little to the grid and state the opposite.

This is the main weakness of solar and wind -dependence on intermittent weather. This requires backup generation (plant, idle capacity, gas) and more complex distribution networks (grid) are needed. This must be added into the total costs of the system. Some estimates suggest that the total cost of the current UK power system extends to trillions of pounds (paid for mainly through bills). Despite this investment, we have the most expensive industrial power in the development world (FT figure below).

You are correct that net zero is reshaping economics - the UK is de-industrializing from energy intensive industries (and hence outsourcing our CO2 production to China and the US). Net zero is making artificial intelligence processing nodes (the main new industrial innovation of this decade) unaffordable. We are also increasingly dependent on Chinese supply chain for solar panels and key wind turbine components.

@lancelachlan i believe you may have missed the previous day when 55% generation was gas+imports, with solar and wind barely covering 25% together in full summer.

or was that bias ?

The Paris suburb of Saint Denis just gave the key to the city to Palestinian terrorist Marwan Barghouti. No wonder French Jews are leaving France in droves.

@sfliberty You work for what you want , if you want mediocre, you get it, others want more, why socialism never works. People need freedom to achieve their own goals in life.

[Students For Liberty @sfliberty]

In 1825, a rich Welsh industrialist bought an entire American town to prove that socialism could work.

He had the money, the buildings, the theory, and hundreds of eager followers waiting to move in.

Two years later, it was over. 🧵

The attitude of this police officer!
What a disgraceful way to speak to a member of the public 👇😡

[Allison Pearson @AllisonPearson]

The Chief Constable of Essex Police said it was “madness” - the furore after two officers visited my house on Remembrance Sunday.

He described it as “just a five-minute conversation with a journalist”.

There is no “just” about a visit from the police. It is deliberately intimidating and an attack on free speech.

I was accused of a serious offence under the Public Order Act for posting a tweet, a year earlier. No one thinks the tweet came anywhere near the threshold for criminal investigation.

The CPS threw the case out but the process is the punishment.

In the same week, a 15-year-old boy was robbed at knifepoint a few miles from me. Terrified, he called the police and was told it was no longer a live incident!

Feisty tweet - police visit. Knife crime - you’re on your own, mate.

Police now think it’s their business to advise and to lecture to enforce “values”. Usually on the basis of an allegation by a “protected characteristic”.

They look increasingly sinister and ridiculous. They need to return to policing.

Allister did nothing wrong and I hope he joins me in suing the police.

Innocent, decent people must take a stand against tyranny,

Thank god for @SpeechUnion
Do join today if you haven’t already.

While the government pushes early release of dangerous prisoners, IPP prisoners remain locked up indefinitely - for much more minor offences - on an abolished sentence 'to keep the public safe'. Probation triggers the recall of prisoners for trivial, anonymous, malicious allegations. This is so galling. And yet, the Labour minister reads out a brief full of misinformation - she should meet families at the MoJ protest on 15th July at 11am for FACTS, not double-speak.

[Zac Goldsmith @ZacGoldsmith]

If this hadn’t been recorded I don’t think anyone would believe these words were actually spoken. Nandy couldn’t be clearer.
It is mind blowing to hear a senior politician speaking such dangerous nonsense

[Venice Allan @roseveniceallan]

Lisa Nandy told her staff that Julia and I had edited this film of her saying child rapists should be able to choose to go to a women’s prison. That’s not just misinformation, it’s a lie https://t.co/Bkv2fLj7Mh

[Rafe Heydel-Mankoo @RafHM]

Without @X & @ElonMusk the government would never have been shamed into having a rape gang inquiry

And we would never have seen the masked & armed Muslim gangs during the Southport protests

This is why our leaders hate X.

It stops them controlling the narrative.

[Caroline ffiske @carolinefff]

The Times has come out against the Puberty Blockers Trial. As a nation we should not have our NHS experiment on our own children - please write to your MP!

[Malcolm Clark @TwisterFilm]

Woman who defended rapists being housed in women's jails complains about ....abuse and misinformation. It's not X that endangers the health of our democracy but hypocritical politicians like @lisanandy.

[The @greenbrough]

@NoFarmsNoFoods What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.

No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.

[Allison Pearson @AllisonPearson]

A minister in charge of media and culture is quitting X because of “misinformation”.

Lisa Nandy’s government is the biggest purveyor of misinformation.

She doesn’t like free speech.
