Think Reform’s net-zero announcements may well be their first big mistake since their rise in the polls. There would definitely be scope to criticise specific climate measures, but trying to actively reverse shift to renewables lands well on wrong side of British public opinion.

The Conservative Environment Network rightly pointing out that the supposed libertarians of Reform want to increase taxes on energy, push up energy bills for families, undermine investment, and tell farmers what to do with their land.

BOOM❗ The UK heat pump had a bumper year with 63% market growth. Still a long way to go but if maintained in future years the UK would meet its 600,000 heat pumps installed per year in 2028 target.

🛫 Does Heathrow need a third runway, and will it boost growth? No, says @msingerhobbs.bsky.social. With business travel stagnant and three Brits flying abroad for every one tourist visiting the UK, it's better to invest in buses, trains, and fixing potholes.

New NEF analysis out today. Amid rumours that gvt will expand Heathrow, Luton and Gatwick airports, we show that doing so would wipe out the benefit of the government's Clean Power Plan (i.e. the sprint for zero carbon electricity by 2030) within 5 years of expanded operation. /1

Very important for everyone in the British politics to understand what we are dealing with here, and the stakes involved. Not politics as normal.

I was on LBC yesterday talking about the to be honest quite shameless 'concerningly low' levels of gas storage press release from Centrica, all part of their lobbying campaign for more gas storage subsidy. Full comment and recording is on linked-in: www.linkedin.com/posts/richar...

Meta literally created a LGBTQ exception for calling someone mentally ill as an insult. You can't do it for any other group except LGBTQ people.

The Vivienne embodied a major part of UK drag - her wit, her paint, her humour, her vocals. Watching her career rise across the years, she struck me as the natural successor to the likes of Lily Savage. What a supremely talented queen - we bow to thee. Rest well.
