I'm basically characterising this rise as electricity users subsidise Rolls Royce's experiment in SMR technology.

Storage heaters are predominantly in flats, especially rentals because all electric is considered less maintenance than gas. So this will impact lower income households.

This isn't just a UK investigation. It's the dismantling of a whole Europe wide Russian influence and money laundering network. The bots (left and right) will be out in force to discredit it.

This is part of an international investigation into wider attempts to subvert democracy launched by UK + European partners, including Ukraine. So the UK will be acting with others to close the net, which means we have to move at the pace of that international effort. Be patient, we'll see more.

It's like that game 'What's the time Mr Wolf?', they creep up on you when you turn your back.

This winter's seemingly early sudden stratospheric warming events and wobbly polar vortex should give us a little taster of how this is going to go ...

Full admiration for everyone who enjoys the cooking process as much as the outcome. For the rest of us there is Instapot.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

That's my understanding also,combined with improved private pension take up rates encouraged by the default opt in.

Beautiful old school authoritarian threat writing, feels very nostalgic. Also, yikes.

I wish for a world where policy matters more than charisma. I recently saw charts showing that pretty much every PM of the last 20 years ends in ~ -30% negative ratings (except Tony Blair!). They weren't all rubbish but they all ended in the same place. Is this country ungovernable?

British Police want to speak to a MAGA influencer and partner after London incident | CNN British police published an appeal for information indicating that they want to speak to two people following what police called a “racially aggravated” incident in central London.

BBC won't pay up, and then there's these flies in the ointment

Aside from the very politically engaged, people are fed up now by what looks to them to be endless press speculation (even when sources are credible according to an unexplained journalism code). It makes everyone commenting on it look like pub gossips, and the government, chaotic.

Nah, if you're in a rush, the first one's usually caps by default so you need a second one to make friendly. Xx

In the Corporate world earnings projections are kept under tight wrap until they can be announced. The risk of time at HMP is a good incentive to keep shtum. That's not to say Corporate earnings' processes always go to plan, without last minute changes, it's just that you'd rarely hear of it.

Erm I'm looking at the 10yr movements and I'm not seeing Truss levels of drama. Did the commentators look at movements or just go off the Fin headline?

Is there an extradition treaty between the US and Argentina though?

So many speculative budget changes being put out by the press only to be rolled back again. Who to believe? Or maybe I'll just wait until 26 Nov and read the bloody thing.

So political commentators and the press speculate for weeks about income tax rises etc and then claim the government's u-turned on budget measures that weren't even announced. Bit like the leadership challenge that wasn't a leadership challenge?

Trump's shoring up his base in Argentina so he can flee there with the rest of the Nazis*

*yes I know this doesn't apply to Argentinians generally, love BA.

Also worked on this. We made good progress on scope 1 & 2 but struggled with scope 3 - indirect emissions - in the absence of global agreements on taxonomy and standards. Essentially the US et al sabotaged all the UNEP's (+EU) efforts on this, making it extremely challenging to report scope 3.

So, this is a pragmatic assessment of the world as it is right now. As someone who worked with this, I wish it were not so, but also, if it's any reassurance, in my experience, the majority of European businesses want to do this and will keep trying to find a way.

In addition, when the EU legislation first hit the books the world was more cooperative and progressive. Since then, the US et al have aggressively gone after the UNEP Net Zero programmes that were making progress on this.

Hardly any companies do more than estimate scope 3 emissions. Because without a global consensus on standards and taxonomy, it's incredibly challenging to calculate indirect emissions, especially for SMEs.

This refers to Leon Black?. Whilst he was known for his career at Apollo Asset Management, he started his career at Drexel Burnham Lambert, he became MD until 1990

Do you know who also worked at Drexel Burnham Lambert early in his career between 1982 and 1986? Nigel Farage.

The UK military also recently showed us excactly how to tackle these boats without killing any one, getting the people, boats and the evidence - with just a single sniper from a helicopter!

If the UK can do that, so can the US...especially if they want to continue the intelligence sharing.

2/2

Do not tell people where to go to copy this MAGA Trashy Chateau look.

So, Chris Grey has followed the money, and unsurprisingly, it's all interconnected. Gibbs has to go, a Board member should air concerns in a spirit of transparency and trust to improve their organisation, not to undermine it.

That was my reflection yesterday but you've joined the dots. Thank you
