One of the most frustrating aspects of this price cap rise is that UK gas prices are falling. @cornwallinsight.bsky.social predicts in 3 months 80% of this increase will be unwound.

This is good because if you want a stable prosperous world filled with countries well disposed towards the Uk history teachs us that nothing brings that like a British gunship. A well funded health clinic on the other hand...

The solar PV CfD capacity, plus AR4 wind (that didn't die or get reauctioned through AR6) is going to be the first big wave of renewables that are really going to show the 'cheap' narrative through very public data. As @tombent.bsky.social says below, PV is already turning up, wind will be 26/27.

"if you manage solar energy production in a certain way, not only are you providing clean energy but benefiting biodiversity" An extremely useful study with very unsurprising findings. Solar farms can improve biodiversity (just don't build new ones on nature protected sites). Let's celebrate that.

I am absolutely furious and terrified at this. Third runway at Heathrow, freezing fuel duty and hiking the bus cap: this Labour government are almost literally pouring petrol on the climate crisis. Shame on them.

Too many housing associations are unaccountable and actively have contempt for their residents (some exceptions). There seems broad consensus these measures would be a good idea, but for many providers it requires a cultural transformation, which probably requires changes in economic incentives.

Me: on how there has been way too much fuss around these gilt market moves. They bring the worst out in the government. Gilt moves are no verdict on current policy. Reacting violently bad vibes creates silly policy spasms. Grow a thicker hide. www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/comment/gilt...

The Icc treatment of the Afghanistan womens team undoubtedly shameful. It is good to see at least one cricket board deserves credit. It seems only reasonable that the icc funding currently given to Afghanistan to run a womens team should go their womens team
