It's good to see some people coming up with sensible proposals... Wouldn't it be nice if it was the @Conservatives who are meant to be governing? "@OVOEnergy boss proposes plan to stave off household bill crisis" #EnergyCrisis #UK bbc.com/news/business-627423…

Latest calculation for the electricity and gas UK retail price cap is scary. Very, very scary.
Consultant @CornwallInsight puts the cap in October at £3,582 a year (up from £1,971 per year current). From January, it jumps to £4,266 per year.

Just three years for previous record high (at one site) to be broken (at 34 sites), with new high 1.5C higher. Don't need to be a climate scientist to know that this is a big jump in such a short space of time. #UKHeatwave #ClimateCrisis

Being an "oldschool" Conservative Peter Oborne knows what he is talking about.
And even angrier because of it.

I'm proud of @UniOfLeicester's outstanding #REF2021 results:
- Top 30 in the UK
- 25% of Units of Assessment in the top 5.
This is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our research community.

Thriving cities reduced to rubble, homes obliterated, hospitals targeted and flattened.
This is how Russia's invasion has already reshaped Ukraine.

Please record the awkward moment when you tell them you’ve spent most of your career campaigning to have people from Eastern Europe deported.😉
