It's good to see some people coming up with sensible proposals... Wouldn't it be nice if it was the @Conservatives who are meant to be governing? "@OVOEnergy boss proposes plan to stave off household bill crisis" #EnergyCrisis #UK bbc.com/news/business-627423…

Latest calculation for the electricity and gas UK retail price cap is scary. Very, very scary.
Consultant @CornwallInsight puts the cap in October at £3,582 a year (up from £1,971 per year current). From January, it jumps to £4,266 per year.
UK government sleeping at the wheel.
Just three years for previous record high (at one site) to be broken (at 34 sites), with new high 1.5C higher. Don't need to be a climate scientist to know that this is a big jump in such a short space of time. #UKHeatwave #ClimateCrisis
Here are the highest temperatures across the country today 👇
At least 34 sites have exceeded the UK's previous national record of 38.7°C 🌡️

This is very good. Clearsighted and analytical.
Being an "oldschool" Conservative Peter Oborne knows what he is talking about.
And even angrier because of it.
This seems appropriate, again, given current events. "#PatrickStewart sketch: what has the #ECHR ever done for us?" #UK #RwandaDeportations youtu.be/ptfmAY6M6aA

I'm proud of @UniOfLeicester's outstanding #REF2021 results:
- Top 30 in the UK
- 25% of Units of Assessment in the top 5.
This is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our research community.

Please record the awkward moment when you tell them you’ve spent most of your career campaigning to have people from Eastern Europe deported.😉
