.@BBCr4today we *do not* have the most expensive electricity in Europe, it's actually about average #r4today. Left is DESNZ, right is eurostat.
PLEASE start speaking truth to power and challenge any guest who says this! @bbcnickrobinson @amolrajan @BBCSimonJack @DharshiniDavid

For @JustinOnWeb (and the whole @BBCr4today team); Britain does NOT have expensive energy compared to Europe. The UK is about average. Data for manufacturers from DESNZ and eurostat. #r4today

Upgrading to a heat pump? Get an extra 20% off when you order before the end of the year for #PinkFriday! Discount for #Octoplus members and comes off after the government's £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant.

This is deeply disappointing, as it's a) totally unnecessary bureaucracy, all heat pumps are near silent; b) unfair and discriminatory, as gas boilers are far noiser but aren't subject to noise assessment; c) undermines any benefit from removing the 1 m rule.

Maximum permissible noise limits will remain and all heat pumps will still need to comply with the Microgeneration Certification Scheme Noise Planning Standard MCS 020 to be eligible for installation under permitted development.

I do not miss the days of dumb Tory ministers talking nonsense in interviews. Shapps lost his seat in the general election.
Grant Shapps giving an extraordinary interview on #R4Today. He's so far out of his depth he's walking on the seabed.

I hear this time and again – police just don't pursue investigations they judge "minor", such as abusing women, even when handed all the evidence on the plate. Victims have to act as case managers chasing, chasing, every step of the way. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvgw…

Conrad Energy, who I believe are the biggest owner/operator of reciprocating gas engine peaker plant in the UK, generated 1 TWh from its assets last year. For context, total generation was about 300 TWh.

These are the funds that people have been campaigning for years to get out of the oil & gas and armaments industries, with varying degree of success.
Taken out the control of local government, will we see the new funds straight back to investing dirty?

Yesterday @exeterlabour refused to extend the hours of a bus lane on a major thoroughfare to include when children come home from school.
Today @UniofExeter points out that leadership is needed to overcome systemic barriers preventing tackling climate change. Listen up Labour!

In fact during the meeting the leader of Labour in Exeter, @philbialyk, unilaterally decided to reduce the operating hours even further than was being proposed with no explanation. God help us all

China and US are the largest existing markets, and sales in both are up. Sales in the UK are up.
In the EU EV sales are up in 19 markets, including the entire top ten for car sales! Eight European countries now have EV sales above 30% as a proportion of car sales.
