@LoftusSteve Bad take. Consider the sheer number of taxis you'd need to shift the daily commute from a to b.

@greigaitken @SurLiott9 @KathrynPorter26 @AaronBastani Have you asked those who claim gas is most expensive to produce figures? Did you check them if so? What was your conclusion?

[Matt Galvin @mgalvin]

@Om_Codes_ I'd like to go on record that STP is a dreadful protocol. Let's not pretend it's the networking equivalent of penicillin.... Cos it's truly truly awful.

This is pure unadulterated nonsense. How can you be "journalists" and not understand basic facts @alextomo?

The only thing that has increased is overflow monitoring. From practically 0 in 2010 to 100% today.

All water testing indicates a significant decrease in overflows since privatisation.

I challenge you, tell me how many overflows in 2000, 2005 and 2011. Then tell me how you know it's "more and more every year".

@AaronBastani @GBNEWS @LiamHalligan Triple lock is fine, it's the fact pensioners don't pay NI that gets my goat.

@ret_ward @KathrynPorter26 @TiceRichard @UKERCHQ @grok does the above link show that gas is the reason wholesale energy prices are high? what's the consensus out there. is Bob telling the truth

[Matt Galvin @mgalvin]

@TurfCastPodcast @JulesG08 That's fair enough though isn't it? Build something good and sell it. What's wrong with the way in which it was bought - leveraged. For a football club to be put at risk like that is unacceptable imo.

@eliotranch @FraserNelson It's actually worse isn't it.

[Matt Galvin @mgalvin]

@FraserNelson Great, but you've still got to be able to interpret them. Like not misrepresenting crime stats @FraserNelson giving half a story.

@todayyearsold Ctrl+right arrow and left arrow jumps the cursor word by word too... Ctrl+shift+arrow highlights the whole word.

@PaulEmbery The problem is, she's committed no crime. There'll be nothing she can be accused of. So she'll be home, in a council house, receiving benefits and appearing on 'im a celebrity' within a year.... Likely cause riots.

[Matt Galvin @mgalvin]

@joncoupland Literally no one...

[Matt Galvin @mgalvin]

@pjcboro @tomtweettime @paullewismoney It's comical how the truth is the actual exact opposite of what they're telling us.

@rolandhoskins1 Not really, Paul's wrong:

💰The Cost of Renewables 2025 Megathread💰

The Government is pushing the narrative that renewables are cheap and gas is the problem. It's been 18 months since my last thread showed this to be a lie.

Have things changed? Or is Ed Miliband driving us towards ruin? 🧵

@paullewismoney Here's an alternative view for anyone who's interested.

@VinnieSull1van @BygoneBritain People still talk of Pot Maynard, a grizzled ex-poacher with a thumb like a steel spring, who could split a pint pot at 15 paces.
