Book-ending Energy day listening to @KwasiKwarteng @cityoflondon Not sure we can frack under Mansion House, but I’m willing to try.

Tower Bridge's engines were famously upgraded to electro-hydraulic in the 1970s and the lights to energy efficiency alternatives for the London Olympics. A beacon for retrofitting difficult buildings for lower impact.
This is like protesting a salad bar to highlight veganism.

Speaking to City AM about the energy strategy
We speak to leading experts about the new #energy policy ahead of its unveiling.
From nuclear to offshore, hydrogen to solar, and fracking to fission, @nearlblog explores all of Britain's energy options:

1) Consistent carbon taxation across the UK and in line with other major trading partners. Job of the CCC to monitor and advise.
2) Utilise the taxes on domestic supplies to fund low carbon research, let the problem create the solution
3) Proper energy market not tech targets.

Saw this on the Tube yesterday. Staring now appears to be an offence on the Underground - and if you see someone doing it to someone else, you can report it. Totally normal, right? How did a great capital city fall for this nonsense?

Gobsmacked! Independent report states he's not acted solely in the public interest. Surely falls short of public expectations & he should consider his position. Question is, will Labour have the guts to sanction one of their own or will they try & brush it under the carpet?
An investigation has found the deputy leader of Coventry Council, Cllr Abdul Khan, broke council rules following a row with his neighbour.
He'll appear in front of the council's Ethics Committee next week. He rejects the findings.
More after 5pm on @BBCCWR

The NHS has enough problems delivering basic healthcare without being dragged into gender wars. Being told to ask men if they’re pregnant before they have scans is a time wasting insult to all concerned. It’s up to Health Secretary @sajidjavid to kill off this nonsense.

“Judkins rejects the term Nimby – Not In My Back Yard – arguing she is not opposed to renewable energy but rather the locations of new solar farms.”

There must be a place in sport 4all but fairness must trump inclusion in the wrong category. The Q angle of the hip 2knee for example in cycling is a huge benefit to males. Male puberty remains. Trans cyclist Emily Bridges faces Olympic winner Laura Kenny

Males have between a 10-30% advantage in sport. Punch 160% harder lb for lb. No reduction in testosterone removes all male puberty advantage. So by including males in Women’s sport you are forcing females to step aside & accept discrimination against them in their own category 😡

"Villagers rejoice" at their deliverance from new housing feels quite Biblical too – like when Sarah manages to get pregnant aged 90 or Noah's family are saved. Except it's not the Flood, it's some new homes. NIMBYism will be the death of this country

New Zealand are cutting fuel taxes to help with the cost of living.
In the UK VAT on fuel means for every additional £6 you spend £1 more goes to the Treasury in VAT.
With a 30p pump price rise since the summer we could cut 4p off duty today just to offset HMRC's tax windfall.

Now @Keir_Starmer publicly misrepresents equalities law, in yet another indication that the Labour Party can no longer be counted on to defend women’s rights. But I repeat: women are organising across party lines, and their resolve and their anger are growing. 3/3

VLADIMIR Putin has destroyed an entire CITY of 21,000 people in eastern Ukraine while his troops were accused of gunning down fleeing women and children, killing seven.
The city and administrative centre of Volnovakha has been completely wiped out amid Russia's annihilation

Quite a set of stats from the BBC on energy prices. The government takes ten times as much in tax as the energy companies do in profit.

What a foolish comment by ‘an ally’ of @KwasiKwarteng
The damage is being done by Government policy. Net Zero dogma, anti fracking, socialist price controls and green taxes.
And now anti-market jingoism that will cause more failures and put bailout costs on bills & taxes.

Torturing children as a futile gesture to appease infantile adults terrified by a seasonable bug is pathetic.
