It still costs money to produce electricity

Electricity supply cost / price curves are a strange beast.

Notwithstanding, one of the main selling points of renewables is that the marginal cost is negligible (particularly when compared to traditional fossil fuel powered electricity, and even more so when factoring in pollution costs).

It seems this is the MP spreadsheet that has been mentioned in the press in the past few days

That cannot be genuine.

Source?

It's all over twitter so must be true...
Plenty without any redaction too.

mp's having alleged affairs that don't include a provable element of coersion or abuse, are nobodies business.

similarly those that enjoy the company of prostitutes or being pissed on.

A bunch of those are consenting adults: "Affair", "Workplace relationship", and gay man in wanting to have sex with other men shocker.

The brevity of Liam Fox's entry is amusing though.

I'd generally agree, however if such relationships are leveraged for votes or have other conflicts of interest attached then perhaps there is value in them being exposed?

Someone speculating about the motorbike groups that head out on Halloween.

MPS confirmed this late last night. Last year a rideout gang came in from the O2 arena area and they shut Blackwall tunnel at some point last night as a moped was abandoned in it.

The SE London gridlock was due to the fatality at Deptford Bridge so not related.

They are in the public interest when their desire to keep such affairs and proclivities can be or have been used to coerce them into acting against the public interest

The Amber Rudd - Kwasi Kwarteng one can't be worth much leverage as it's on both their wikipedia pages.

Some masked tit on a 4x4 and his mate on a motorbike almost knocked me and my mate over screaming off Commercial Rd into Rotherhithe tunnel last night - hope they got lifted.

yeah, I read that this is a leak from the Torys, so it is used a leverage against those on it to ensure they tow the party line. Thats fucked up, blackmailing their own ministers.

Suppose we shouldn't be surprised really

fair enough.

the labour rape cover up is more concerning. have charges been pressed yet?

The fuss about Michael Fallon makes a bit more sense after seeing that list (and, perhaps to the point, the unredacted version).

Here you go: Lisa Nandy raising her 'I told you 3 times' question with Theresa May

I feel exposing the whole list is a bit unfair on some individuals. A lot of things on that list are just "grown people business" despite how you may feel about them morally. I'd say unless it involves, misappropriation of public funds, imposition of power or minors we should stay out of it, even if they are Tory scum.

Sexually approach of somebody you manage = HR process often followed by dismissal in companies. Time the government gets held to the standard of the laws it voted in as far as I'm concerned.

Exactly. Just heard some quavery-voiced posh cunt reporter on radio 4 claiming that sexual stuff happens in all companies so it’s not really news. Yes mate, and then they get sacked.

Sometimes, and probably less than you'd think I reckon.

How long did it take for that American Apparel guy to go? And that was a ridiculous level in a high profile organisation.

So, so many instances of drivers mounting footways. Reports of serious injuries could well lead to fatalities.

Editor to intern : "can you find us a pic of Tony Montana for the Spacey story".

Depends if the politicians helped pass the law to ban female ejaculation and pissing in porn.

Ah yes, the joy of cutting public services, especially that pesky socialist police.

Meanwhile plans to open a new police station near Grenfell Tower early next year, for two years only, are to be discussed with the local community.

Why?
