- Miserable pipsqueak
- A demented Dalek on speed
- A foetus in a jar
These are just a fraction of the insults directed at @michaelgove by @UKLabour and its activists during his time as Education Secretary. All this pearl-clutching from Labour MPs in relation to @KemiBadenoch's row with @bphillipsonMP is pathetic. They need to get over themselves. @bphillipsonMP's class war has caused school closures, cost people their jobs and messed up the education of countless children, many of them with special needs. She deserves to be called out for it. 'Spiteful class warrior' is the least of it.

@antonioguterres Renewables are not the cheapest and it's dishonest to say so when the evidence is overwhelmingly to the contrary

If wind and solar were the cheapest form of generation, countries with lots of wind and solar would have the lowest bills

But they don't. They have the highest

@7Kiwi We suggest making the Harlow MP SoS for education. Former teacher. Good communicator.

[Jim Sutton @sutton1012]

@SimonDanczuk Not a fan, but we thought it quite a humorous response.

[Priti Patel MP @pritipatel]

The thing about spiteful socialist Labour politicians, is that they have spent years dishing out their bile and gaslighting those they resent.

But when challenged to account for their crippling policies which takes away educational opportunity from children or explain why they have crushed the economy, they can’t handle it and they look to blame someone else.

@julianHjessop Mortgaging the future.

[Kathryn Porter @KathrynPorter26]

According to this a NESO spokesman said: “Great Britain’s electricity system remained secure and reliable throughout today’s exceptional weather.

“Using existing arrangements with neighbouring system operators and our standard operational tools, NESO took actions available to it to maintain system security.”

NESO had to ask the EU to suspend the within day SO-SO interconnector trading limit. It's not correct to say "existing arrangements" were used. They needed an exemption on a limit that was only introduced a month ago

The reality is that NESO failed to anticipate the shortfall due to poor modelling which meant it was left using extraordinary measures to address it

This was only a day after low frequency issues the previous evening... A massive hint the grid is under strain from a lack of supply vs demand

@neso_energy needs to stop pretending everything is fine and start taking steps to make sure everything is fine

Because this "nothing to see here" attitude is simply an effort to persuade people real risks aren't there. The risks ARE there and NESO's complacency is putting everyone at risk

@neso_energy Stop watching the football and start forecasting demand properly. And try getting a grip on frequency

[Kathryn Porter @KathrynPorter26]

"This debate shows why Parliament is not working. Poor analysis let off the hook by poor scrutiny."

And a "mumbo jumbo" impact assessment

This is what happens when you fill Whitehall and Westminster with people who have no background in science. If your degree is in PPE (@Ed_Miliband) or history etc you're not going to be able to analyses this, see it for the nonsense it is, and ask the right questions about it

We see a Parliament full of scientifically illiterate people signing off on plans that risk energy and national security and are destroying the economy

Because they believe the fiction that renewables are cheap. And have no idea they are breaking the grid

[Chris Newton @drchrisnewton]

Labour can:
- Call Tories 'scum'.
- Call Brexiteers 'worse than Nazis'.
- Say Farage flirted with the Hitler Youth.
- Compare Truss to a lettuce.

But the Tories are apparently 'classless' for pointing out Bridget Phillipson is a terrible Education Secretary? 🤔

[Kathryn Porter @KathrynPorter26]

You only got out of this by begging the EU to let you bust the limit on interconnector trades

The limit is 1.5 GW and you've bought 2.3 GW for this evening

Hardly a great strategy

But the limit applies to within day trades. Maybe if your forecasting was better you could have secured the system before the last minute and without using special measures

It's all very well using your account for tooting your own horn but how about answering some of the system security questions we're asking

Like why did you let frequency drop so low yesterday evening and were you still able to cover the largest loss when frequency fell to 49.656 Hz

Legacy media hasn’t changed in decades.

For everything else, thank goodness we have @X.

[Merryn Somerset Webb @MerrynSW]

Talk of an exit tax. It's stupid of course...But we did tell you capital controls were coming.

[Jim Sutton @sutton1012]

@TheCinesthetic I didn’t like it. Not a nice premise.

[Kathryn Porter @KathrynPorter26]

So it looks like @neso_energy's get out of jail free card for this evening was to beg...

It executed 2.3 GW of SO-SO trades on the interconnectors despite the EU only allowing 1.5 GW in any setlement period...ie it has begged the EU to let it trade more to secure the system this evening

No-one deserves it more than @DarlingtonUnion - magnificent women, who've always fought for all female workers and, crucially, a great laugh.

[Kathryn Porter @KathrynPorter26]

Are you going to explain this is because you begged the EU to lift your interconnector trading limit so you secured 2.3 GW of imports for this evening vs the 1.5 GW limit

Hardly a safe way to run the grid is it, hoping the EU bends the rules because you didn't see this shortage coming

@christopherhope @GBNEWS Great job Chris.
