Dirty gas sets the wholesale price of clean renewable electricity. How about we break that link so everyone in the UK gets cheaper electricity? As more renewables comes on line, electricity gets cheaper for all. It makes no sense to me why there is a link to gas.

The rainbow colours reminded me of a lama game I played on the ZX Spectrum by Jeff Minter. Check him out: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Mi...

Ticket stub - Never did go into any gigs, and the missing memories haunt him for all time.

I’ve bought my home now, but I will never forget how unfair it was for renters. Ripoff agencies and landlords. I welcome all the above.

David looked angry. The oil industry has cut many jobs even when there were loads of oil and gas licenses. Those skilled offshore workers are need for the clean energy transition. He failed to mention that none of the oil or gas from the north sea is guaranteed to the UK.

That Dyson idiot comes to mind. After he was so pro Brexit too. 😒

I don’t understand why you are upset.

I wasn’t having a go at Rachel Reeves. I support a number of her actions so far. I have not seen good evidence that rich people leave the UK when taxed though.

I do want her to be bold on narrowing the divide though, let’s hope she does.

Yes, I’m sure. Half the wealth of the UK is owned by just 10% of its population.

I also accept that it is a worldwide problem, and other countries being worse do not change the facts.

I do appreciate what Labour has done so far, but I would love them to narrow the rich-poor divide somehow. In a system rigged towards the wealthy, I do understand that it is difficult, but not impossible.

I was thinking more about owning multiple properties, land and business rather than heirlooms. Trackable assets and fair tax. Things like buying 7 houses at once means you pay less tax. Why? This is favouring wealth in an unfair way.

The rich-poor divide has been growing for decades. I’m not sure there is much evidence that the wealthy leave when taxed. Either way, how about taxing wealthy people’s assets? The assets can’t just up and leave.

Because I pay the same standing charge as someone who uses a 100 times more power than me. It’s a rip off favouring the wealthy.

And, because dirty expensive gas sets the wholesale price of cheap clean renewable energy. We can change that.

I think it would have been quite funny if they just used the milkshake photo for this tweet.
August 26, 2025 at 8:55 AM
. I don’t quite understand why wealthy people don’t want to contribute to the country they benefit from. It wouldn’t change their lifestyle all. They would still have more than most could ever imagine.

The only fair way to deal with this is to weigh it on scales, and ensure there is half each. Having said that, the one with cut off crumbs to balance it is a disaster for someone. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I cut, you choose is best!
