That one was hilarious. You could see the story picked apart on social media across the course of a couple of hours before it was retracted 😂

In fairness its a tipping point, it's shifted to this position in something like 20 years moving from a fossil fuels system in place for over a century

Personally I can't see that Blair/Campbell/Brown etc would have gone this route in 95'

Isn't this not the point though? (Sadly). They don't have to be right about O&G in the North Sea, they just have to say they'll do it and that it'll reduce bills, such that they can attempt to counter Reforms proposals to frack and god knows what else. We in the real world think too much about facts

I mean, this is moving into Rachel Reeves territory right. How many 18 year olds would feel confident investing in stocks and shares and leave such large sums to the vagaries of the stock market. We're a cautious nation on that front.

There's often a misunderstanding more fundamental than even this - many I encounter feel that the State Pension is some kind of big pot that they've paid into across a lifetime, so the money is already there they're just not getting it. They don't understand it's paid from current taxation

I get suggested news stories each day from Google,seemingly each day it's different stories about complaints about solar farm, wind or battery planning applications in various areas.It's always that they agree with the tech but it's 'not in the right place' so unclear where the right place is...
