I bought eight stamps the other day along with a birthday card and couldn’t believe it cost me around £18!

Morning. Not a hangover in the land that can touch me.

Three shows this morning but see you in The Slaughter at about half one, yeah?

The whole thing stinks

Public charging can be expensive though which is the real barrier to those who can’t charge at home.
Otherwise, it is great news that EVs are cheaper to buy and cheaper to run for most.

Average new UK electric car price is now lower than petrol vehicles Autotrader says average EV cost is £785 cheaper, in an important milestone in the move away from fossil fuels

Something that does my head in about reporting in the Guardian is lines that are thrown away and presented as fact. I see it all the time in coverage of my area of recycling. The line at the end of this about public charging being patchy is rarely true anymore. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

We tried. The overturned pen would have changed things. Got to take positives into Everton on Sunday #LFC

Heat pumps are the most efficient heating technology ever invented.

They harvest and compress pre existing heat in the air, ground or water and transport it where it is needed.

That energy is all around us.

And it does not have to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

Is this the forward line Slot always wanted to play? Not sure about starting Isak with his current state of fitness, but if he scores first half then might be worth it #LFC

Guess which party he’s standing for in the local elections?

The person we bought our house from was a builder who we found out when we moved in cut corners even on the house he owned. I spent ages in the first few months clearing piles of stuff that he’d burned on the field and digging up stuff he’d buried as an illegal small scale landfill.

That was better #LFC

Best left back I’ve ever seen at Liverpool. While any best ever 11 has a lot of competition (Kenny and Gerrard always get in), he’s way ahead of any other LB I can think of

Something I don't think the UK boasts about enough - and a great rebuttal to Reform and the Tories' anti-net zero propaganda:

The UK is home to 7 out of the top 10 biggest offshore wind farms in the world. 10 of the top 20. And 6 in 10 of the largest ones in the world currently under construction.

I made the mistake of charging today and getting paid for it, but the price is even better tomorrow. So need to go on a long drive this evening to bring down my energy bill.

Everything is going to be plugged in tomorrow. Might even ask neighbours if they want anything charging!

Embarrassing #LFC

We’ve given up #LFC

It was obviously going to happen once we conceded the pen. Sums up the season.

That penalty killed us. We were okay and now look mentally shot shot #LFC

Deep space network comm lock

A thing of beauty—Voyager 1 is calling home right now and the Madrid station is also connected to Artemis 2. You can watch the deep space network live anytime you want. eyes.nasa.gov/apps/dsn-now...

NASA's Blue Marble picture of Earth, from 1972

It's only worth going back to the Moon if it makes us look properly again at Earth, and appreciate how beautiful, precious and fragile what we have here is. The most famous images from Apollo aren't about the Moon - they're pictures of Earth. We need to stop taking our home for granted.

The difference is between not doing enough to combat illegal landfills created by organised crime and over-regulating legitimate businesses

I don’t think an agency should have the power to regulate, investigate, arrest and prosecute. It shouldn’t be the regulator, police and CPS all in one effectively. It needs to be broken down so expertise is concentrated in specialist teams and means there isn’t a culture of going after easy targets

I’ve emailed you 🙂

This is how you "break link between the price of gas and the price of electricity": building more wind power, solar, grid upgrades and grid batteries.

In March gas set the price of electricity some 65% of the time – it used to be 98% across a year

This week, Brexit finally killed our family business. We cleared out our warehouse, handed back the keys, paid the final bills and said goodbye to our last employee.
What was once a thriving firm died a slow, sad death, all thanks to Farage, Johnson and the gullible idiots they conned. 1/18

Sure. Message me

If anything it has too much power and is getting police-like powers soon but also has the power to prosecute. In my opinion investigation should be done by specialist police, the CPS charges and the EA regulates legitimate businesses.
