Good thread from Dave about the new IEA "Current Policies Scenario" making a lot of the headlines.
Here is a very quick mock-up I made of what this scenario assumes for solar PV additions through to 2035, with historical context.

Even in Labour vs Reform contests, where the nature of swing means Labour to Reform defections count double, the electoral strength/cost of losses to LDs and Grns is now ~66% higher than that of losses to Reform.
