"You might think that this is a stupid way of pricing electricity."
If the UK has lots of renewables, why do electricity prices follow gas prices?
Electricity prices are set by the most expensive source that needs to be ‘turned on’ at any given time – that’s usually gas.

Science’s big problem is a loss of influence, not a loss of trust, argue Heidi Larson and David Bersoff
Science & scientists remain highly trusted. But genuine scientific voices are not shouting loud enough over the noise to hold sway

They were prepared to think through annexing Greenland and Canada, but this was a step too far for The Economist.
Donald Trump has committed the most profound, harmful and unnecessary economic error in the modern era. Almost everything he said—on history, economics and the technicalities of trade—was utterly deluded econ.st/3YbbFjq

Labour is upping the ante on anti-migrant politics just to learn that Farage & the Tories can always, always go further than them.
It’s real people who are caught in the crossfire of politicians trying to outdo each other on toughness.

Inreased raids and deportations don't "tackle gangs". They do penalize victims though. Throw in the grotesque PR, and inevitably Labour pushes more people underground, makes them more fearful of authorities, and therefore increase risk of exploitation #r4today 1/
