Would love for just one government Minister to explain what is incorrect about the International Energy Agency analysis stating that new oil and gas drilling is incompatible with international climate goals.

Hey @OctopusEnergy
Your #Agile portal has stopped showing tomorrow's day rates? I know they've been published 'cos I can find them elsewhere but the "Tmw" tab has not been appearing on your dashboard for a couple of days - is it a 2024 glitch..? #OctopusAgile #energytwitter

This is everything you need to know about the UK's failure to decarbonise domestic heating.
The UK has by far the highest ratio of Electricity price to Gas price.
This is a result of Tory Government policies:
1. Gas for electricity incurs a Carbon Tax, whereas gas for boilers does not.
2. The price of ALL electricity is set by the price of Gas-fired electricity.

The flooding pictures are coming in from our property teams. It’s extraordinary that critics say the National Trust shouldn’t campaign on climate change and we should stick to our ‘true purpose’. Caring for places like this is what we do; fire and floods destroy them.

🔥🌍📈BREAKING @NASA 📈🌍🔥
The Earth's Energy Imbalance from NASA satellite data reached 1.97 W/m² (12-month mean)!!
I called this the most important graph in the world.
This helps to explain all the records currently being broken around the word!

The most blatant of the nonsense in Truss's speech is the "when I came into Downing Street were predicted to be £6000 and we were told we could do nothing about it" line.
There had been a huge clamour to do something about it. An almost lone voice was refusing. That was Truss.

Liz Truss will be Britain’s next prime minister — the nation’s fourth in seven years. And she’s inheriting a nation falling apart at the seams. nyti.ms/3ASl6ru
