@nixonelectrical Ah, that's not right, the emoji was supposed to be 🤭 rather than 😡.

I'm not angry! 😂

[The STEM Show @StemShow]

@nixonelectrical Judgement territory, escape quick 😡

@KathrynPorter26 Jjsst.... Fffu*King build flipping nuclear god damn it 😡

@TheMekon_Venus No conspiracy theory here. They are part of a building management system most likely that allows maintenance teams to monitor the function of sensors etc. If some of those sensors fail I guess it shuts down. These systems used to be closed but perhaps now linked to wider networks

@dannybster I'd like to see the detail in how it will be used. The only use I've found is taking a transcribe and compiling minutes of meetings. It can't analyse the type of papers that land on my desk (via email)obvs they don't actually land on my desk.

[The STEM Show @StemShow]

@KeirStitt It's a fair point. What would you suggest it should be? The max someone can hold in one hand? The min? Whatever the words, they need to be verifiable by the next inspector. I guess that's why it comes down to "things that have plug tops". But that falls down in many cases.

"cooking times vary depending on power rating"

So, why do I have to tip the thing upside down and get a torch to see the power rating?... Help a bruv out 🤷😂

[The STEM Show @StemShow]

@KeirStitt Sorry, in person I might pick up on a joke but with text I rarely do 🙈.

@welshdragon1979 It's a mini oven to me so I adjust based on volume like you say. The variable here is pressure I guess.

[The STEM Show @StemShow]

@welshdragon1979 Air fryer... Or mini oven.

@KeirStitt Cmon. No consumer should have to test their appliances when they just bought them...

Of course I have a check meter which tells me it's pulling 2468 watts peak and the plate says similar 2470. But why make it hard for consumers to know this?

@TheMekon_Venus I absolutely loved next generation and he taught me loads about leadership actually! It was his tone of voice and applying it at the right time. Nailed that role. ❤️

@leapinspeak @Miatsf @Ed_Miliband @andyburnham Probably not. It's gone up by £5 million since I posted that chart

@Jvnior Power cuts are normal in high wind. A blackout is much more serious. This is prob trees pulling down lines etc. They will have crews ready for this but there really isn't much more they can do but monitor and repair with this stuff.

[The STEM Show @StemShow]

@polluterpaysbsb It essentially says build to building regs but if you don't, it can be assessed out. I don't support this idea. I can see how they got here trying to move forward etc but there are vast unintended consequences with this kinda statement.

[The STEM Show @StemShow]

@richard_jm Could have easily said something like "the intention is to reduce costs" at least...

[The STEM Show @StemShow]

@dannybster Andy Burnham has also announced he will tackle manufacturers of meat products who print "peel here" knowing damn well you will need a scissors 😡. Finally tackling the important stuff.

Matthew Pennycook is a widely respected minister.

To insinuate that the government "knowingly left" specific flaws in this legislation is totally disingenuous and entirely wrong. I was the minister responsible and I worked closely with officials, after I left government I sat on the bill committee that scrutinised this. I do not recall Pennycook ever mentioning these flaws while he was shadowing me or my successor.

He is talking about technical legislation drafted by government lawyers. The same ones that advised us, and are now advising him. Drafting errors occur every single day in government business, that's why governments put down amendments to their own legislation every day in both houses. Pennycook knows this full well.

I've been the first one to say we made mistakes in government and we got things wrong. But for Pennycook to make this allegation quite shameful and I hope he takes it down and apologises.

I've put down PQs on these so-called "flaws" and I've attached answers from the government to this post. Judge for yourself. We were making the running on this, after years of inaction by successive governments

And had he and his Housing Secretaries had the best interests of leaseholders at heart, as soon as he had got his feet under the desk and discovered these drafting errors, they could have taken action. It's now more than two years since they won a landslide and they've not tackled it. So spare me this type of misinformation and criticism!
