Classic right wing, anti green spin. The kind of thing Octopus energy takes part in.
Yes it cost £1.5bn last year to switch off windmills when we had more wind than the grid could take, but wind energy made £50bn worth of power that year - so this £1.5bn cost was just 3% of the benefit we gained.

We've been working with @metoffice.gov.uk to analyse 10 years of #NewYearPlantHunt data.
The analysis provides the clearest evidence yet of how rising temperatures are impacting the British & Irish flora, with knock-on effects for all our wildlife.

Two very important graphs.
Net migration reached record levels in 2023 - and has since halved.
The vast majority of arrivals comprises students and workers.
Arrivals in small boats and asylum seekers - less than 5%.

As we begin to crawl out of the long nights I remember the consternation from people in the USA when I tried to explain that the UK is so far north that in winter the sun sets at 4pm and we get only seven and a half to eight hours of day, but in the summer our days are so long we dont get full night
