Indiana Jones would like a word
Ukip have submitted a new logo and slogan to the Electoral Commission, swapping the £ pound sterling symbol for a cross, that looks very much like it is modelled on the Iron Cross used by Prussia & Germany 1871-1918 and Hitler's Nazi regime from 1933-45

The utterly shameless & widely covered "report" out today, claiming net zero will "cost" £9tn is based on:

* Assuming free fossil-fuel energy, free petrol cars, free gas boilers, free gas power plants etc

AND

* Including climate damages in the "cost" of net zero

I kid you not, it is that stupid
🧵A political/media guide to the "truth" about net-zero

1) Add up costs to install & run a net-zero energy system
2) Pretend fossil-fuelled alternatives wld be free
3) Do say "eco zealots are bankrupting us"
4) Don't say "free cars if we scrap net-zero" cos it sounds ridiculous
5) That's it!

One thing that unites these people, above all else, is there never ending, self-pitying WHINING.

The "very painful things" they wrote were facts that you avoided tax, had to pay millions in fines, hid it whilst Chancellor then threatened legal action against anyone who reported it.

How does Bjorn from ABBA have more clarity on this than a nontrivial proportion of European leaders
“When they are defending their liberal democracy, they are in fact defending ours as well.”

ABBA’s Bjorn Ulvaeus shares a Christmas message with #Newsnight and says that the Ukrainians “deserve all the support they can have from us.”

Got one of these things in the summer. So far, the house is much more toasty, and with the right tariff the bill is down 40%. More reports as we have them.
Heat pumps are the most efficiency heating technology ever invented.

That's because they harvest, compress and transport pre-existing heat from the air, the ground or the water.

Compared to a gas boiler heat pumps deliver ~4x more heat for each unit of energy inout.

There's an army of people out there telling us change is impossible.

Only that it is not.

10 years ago electric vehicles plaid almost no role in global car sales.

Today one in five cars sold worldwide is electric.

This is so deeply unserious. Throughout the entire 14 years of the Conservative government oil and gas licenses were routinely issued and for much of the period there was a policy of maximising extraction.

Production still fell, the economy flatlined, and energy security got worse.

Bloody love this. Rory has a great way of putting things upside down.
Imagine all cars were electric, and then one Volkswagen engineer comes up with another idea …

British NIMBYism is truly a sight to behold.

“We are rejecting this solar farm, because one time I saw an electric vehicle on fire, which reminded me that decades ago a coal mining disaster killed lots of children”.

It says something that, even though he lived to 97, hearing Tom Lehrer has gone makes me think 'much, much too young'. One of the greatest satirists of all time. Here's a niche one, and one of my faves.

With you shortly, just watching 5 seconds of a product advert so I can skip the rest of the 60-second product advert so I can get through and avert my eyes from the 5-second version of the movie advert so I can finally see the 150-second movie advert I was trying to see in the first place

46 degrees in Spain, in June. Do Kemi Badenoch, Nigel Farage & all the other “net zero sceptics” have a clue what’s going on? Or what to do about it?
