Really useful new report from @nestauk.bsky.social on the impacts of rebalancing the costs of Great British Energy Scheme and supplier ECO targets by moving the levies off electricity and onto gas; media.nesta.org.uk/documents/Ho...
TLDR: Only well-off households using gas pay more, by £20-£76pa

...Quite the difference to November, when it spilled over several times! Managing these extremes is something I fear a lot of UK cities are just not properly prepared for. #climatechange #adaptation #flooding

I'm seeing the effect of this on my daily commute. The bed of the Wye in Hereford is visible in places, you could walk across it in wellies right now. This time last year, the water level was at least 3 feet higher... #drought

Sadly the Guardian fails to mention (a) Greens threw everything at these 2 seats (b) LD and LAB stood paper candidates (c) Reform cratered the Tory vote. These are only repeatable victories in those circumstances. The RW vote still dominates here. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Hmm. Intrigued, I have just looked at the paper. They did have a 1-5 scale, where the obvious 'neutral' midpoint is 'centre'. But they seem to have created a referent group for regressions which is default male, lowest income bracket, lowest education level, and 'left'. Seems quite odd to me...

I wonder if I just tell HMRC I am not available to pay my taxes right now, then we can just call this whole thing quits?

Well played, whoever did this. Well played.
Also, would like to make clear that I do not think President Zelenskyy looks like a Hobbit. (Though I do believe he has at least as much courage and heart as the best of them).

Great video showing what happened when @thecccuk.bsky.social got a group of B'ham residents together to discuss what policies we need to get to #NetZero. www.theccc.org.uk/wp-content/u...

looking at @thecccuk.bsky.social tweet from this morning, I'm struck by how much the estimates of the costs of #NetZero have reduced by. I have gotten used to quoting around 1% of GDP to get to Net Zero by 2050 (from the 6th budget) so this is huge. Also, let's compare to Brexit...
