I received an email from Octopus today saying they're hiking their time-of-use tariff rates, in part, because consumers were too good at shifting their use to cheap periods, so they were losing money. This tells you how powerful price signals are in driving efficient use of the power system.

🤓"heh...bet you didn't know Saint George was actually Turkish!"
Saint George WAS English. He DID kill a dragon on St George's Day in 1066, then he wrote the Magna Carta with his blood, sending every European to Brexit jail. 👍🏴🇬🇧🌹 Don't like it I'll help you pack.

I can tell if you *actually* hate AI or if you just performatively hate it because it's the "correct" socially enforced opinion in your friend circle. I know because I am also in this second group and I can spot you a mile off.

Voting age to be lowered to 16 in England and Northern Ireland by next general election
Voting age to be lowered to 16 in England and Northern Ireland by next general election
16- and 17-year-olds will be given right, already introduced in Scotland and Wales, as part of changes including easier voter registration
The voting age will be lowered to 16 in England and Northern Ireland by the next general election in a major change of the democratic system.
The government said it was a reform to bring in more fairness for 16- and 17-year-olds, many of whom already work and are able to serve in the military. It brings the whole of the UK voting age to 16, as Scotland and Wales have already made the change. Continue reading...

It's not giving away the islands that bothers me, it's about paying for it. My entire life I've been told "um...we don't have enough money for nice things, sorry" and suddenly there's £30bn for a random African country to abolish their income tax.
Remember to email your Labour MP and ask them to explain why they cut PIP payments "because we can't afford it" but then simultaneously agreed to give £101 million per year to Mauritius in exchange for literally nothing.

They showed the movie adaptation in the Soviet Union as propaganda, but then had to ban it because Russian audiences were amazed that even the poorest Americans could afford a car

Interesting that the US minimum wage is so low now that it has effectively been abolished, only 0.1% of the workforce are getting paid as little as that.
For comparison 5% of the UK workforce is on our minimum wage of £12.21/hr.

It is fascinating the way you can take money from hungry children or disabled people without consequence, but try to limit the amount that goes to rich pensioners and everything implodes.
EXCL: No 10 rethinking its controversial winter fuel payment cut amid growing anxiety at top of government that policy could wreak serious electoral damage.
Keir Starmer’s senior team has been discussing for several weeks how to handle public anger over policy which bubbled over at local elections.
