Here it is - 1 year of energy use data after going electric, comparing 2025 to 2024.

Method notes at end of thread.

4 Bedroom House, 2 residents, 1 car, 6000 miles pa.

Replaced Gas Boiler with Daiken Heat Pump, replaced Skoda Fabia with Hyundai Ioniq.

First, raw energy. For MJ, *3.6
This will also have the effect of making legal aid harder to get as legal aid in the magistrates is less available.

And it doesn't matter if you're innocent, when I was charged for a BS public order case that didn't get to court I only got £500 of £2,000 of legal fees back.

Since 2011 the fuel duty freeze has cost the Treasury £133 billion.

This huge amount could have paid for lower train and bus fares, better stations, safer walking, wheeling and cycling and much more!

Rachel Reeves will freeze fuel duty to dodge ‘political suicide’
The chancellor will also highlight a rise in the minimum wage and plans to cut energy bills as she tries to win over voters by focusing on cost of living

These are the most ancient bulldozers I've seen in use, and as they're offroad vehicles basically no regulation unless the planning authority insists on it, typically only done in urban settings.

I am not 100% sure that's euro 6 compliant equipment in use there

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

If you go into excess winter deaths data, prior to widespread central heating each winter was as deadly as the winter 2020 Covid wave.

If you receive legal threats from Nigel Farage for your reporting of Reform, please get in touch.

We have employed a defamation lawyer specifically for this purpose and would love to help (and we do so on non-commercial terms). www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I can't see how they would get over the serious harm threshold, especially in light of Article 10 ECHR

Reminder that In the 1990s Farage sought the backing of the disgraced former Conservative MP and notorious racist Enoch Powell and twice asked him to stand as a candidate for UKIP.

I think that even if you take as a starting point an assumption Bush/Blair knowingly entered Iraq under false pretences, it would still be the world getting worse that Trump allies can just declare rhey want veneuzuelan oil.

I feel its overall a very bad thing leaders don't even feel they have to pretend they aren't on wars of conquest anymore, and anyone not acknowledging that is a twit.

Iirc there was a solar farm near the chilterns challenged at Judicial Review on that basis and still allowed to go ahead....fortunately not something I have to deal with much locally as we're just doing massive ones offshore.
November 24, 2025 at 9:05 PM
Was this windfarm inside a national landscape or was it spoiling the view from one?

I'd presune it is close to 30% because of the whole 30 by 30 thing - which is total bollocks anyway as the UK gov thinks designating something means it is set aside for nature.

Also noticeable how toffs don't think they should be asked questions and get very prickly very quickly.

England has a lot more AONB (sorry, 'National Landscapes') so the equivalent is closer to 25%.

Just the good, friendly, morale-boosting kind of racism.
