With the cost of gas absolutely kneecapping all these suppliers the forecasts are that we might lose 90% of the energy companies in the UK by the close of the year. They reckon there could be as few as 10 left by 2022. So much for the free market.

Julio Cruz posted:one of the other companies will buy them out rather than risk them getting taken into public ownership But they buy them in at the same rates/credit balances as their previous supplier. Is the issue not that there's so many customers locked into fixed prices that these companies cant afford to buy the energy to supply them? Surely even SSE can't absorb every customer in the UK if the price surges continue.

Comrade Fakename posted:I don't drive, so really don't have much interest in it, but I am a bit interested in green technology stuff, and I've got to say it's pretty bizarre how on SA and left Twitter Teslas are the worst cars ever made and incredibly unsafe and constantly explode, while literally everywhere else I look they're widely considered to be good cars that people like. They have the build quality and QC of Dacia while charging a Mercedes Premium. If I've paid 80 grand for a car I don't want bits of it held together by zip ties. And thats not even getting started on them allowing the public to beta test their self driving mode which leads to exciting moments like the car deciding to try and run over pedestrians on a crossing because it got confused by a bus.

Is this the Independent attempting to poison the conference, drive more of the left from the party, or a sop to terfs / plain old transphobia from the Indi staff themselves. Rosie Duffield has opened the door to the next festering wound that will split labour apart and now its all people are going to focus on. Starmers refusal to either deal with Duffield properly or just outright support her is just easy pickings for the journos.

WhatEvil posted:He did originally (around the time of the leadership election - possibly just after??) say "we should give Starmer our support" but he's been talking smack about Starmer for ages now. Yeah he said that so that the 'left' wouldnt immediately fall into doing exactly what the right did and just wreck things for the sake of it. As soon as Kiers colours came out he was ripping on him as he should do. Also Starmers essay is strikingly similar in both words and tone as David Camerons manifesto. Almost like it was stolen and rewritten.

JeremoudCorbynejad posted:one of my neighbours is building a summerhouse and it is an absolute abomination Tell me your neighbour doesn't know what they're doing without telling me your neighbour doesn't know what hes doing. The good news, its 100% going to fall down in about 3 years when the weather rots through the random bits of non marine plywood hes using as structural reinforcement since its certainly not built with proper framing timber. The bad news, if hes building the easy bits like that I can assure you the electrics he runs into there by himself (Because no fuckin legit electrician will touch it) will torch the place and possibly the fence its right next to. It could also subside given it looks like hes run a few courses of brick on the patio instead of putting it on proper footings.

Starmers next plan is the increase the number of MP's required to nominate someone to the leader shortlist to 25%. This would have meant in practice there can only ever be 2 nominations, and in the last election Starmer runs unopposed.

goddamnedtwisto posted:The RLC have probably got hundreds of HGV drivers, I assume the training is on operating the actual tanker bit (which is apparently quite complex). Good for them, it'll be nice for them to have some bragging rights for once - "Oh you were second bloke on the balcony at the Iranian embassy? Well *I* restocked Beaconsfield Services, guess which one did more to actually help the country keep going?" You're the man that knows everything, but would the petrol stations even accept deliveries from Army trained people given theres no way they'd have the right insurance or ADR qualifications? Is it just a massive red herring and they're hoping supplies sort themselves out before they're forced to do anything?
