No obviously assuming they are in the next 12 months, which they will beQuote:

"Any new". As far as I'm aware, the tories aren't planning on introducing any further anti-strike laws. The job has already been done (given royal assent on the 20th of July) and Keir Starmer has no intentions of reversing them.Quote:

That article was before the u-turn when Starmer came out and said the bill needed to "settle in". This was at the same time when David Lammy was talking to LBC news and saying that Labour wouldn't reverse the anti-protest bill either as it would in his words "take up too much parliamentary time".Quote:

Your getting your bills mixed up. They are two separate billsQuote:

Fair enough, I made a mistake. I though the video of Starmer was about the Strike Bill for some reason, but it was indeed about the Protest Bill. So my apologies for the hic up. If they really are going to reverse the Strike Bill then that's certainly a start. Although I'm still somewhat dubious considering David Lammy's comments regarding Conservative policy and his belief that it would take too much time to pick through it all. If that's the case when it comes to the Protest Bill, then it's difficult to see how they can reverse the Strike Bill while still using that argument not to reverse the Protest Bill.Quote:

A decision that looked mad at the time and is even worse now. Merkel’s legacy won’t be looked at favourably.Quote:

Green politics has been a bigger thing in Germany than it has in most of Europe. And greens used to be worried about nucular waste. Luckily there's no problem these days about disposing of nucular waste. Just dump it somewhere.Quote:

Article on heat pumps.
I’m coming round to the view that this along with solar panels is the way to go for me.

I listened to an interview with a heat pump expert on BBC Cornwall a few days ago and it's a no brainer. Firstly they guy explained how a fridge worked and then explained the technology is similar just in reverse. Anything that can multiply the energy input to output 3 times has to be a good thing. The inhibiting factor just now is the price of installation but like all new technology that will come down as it becomes more widespread.Quote:

Disruption of agriculture is likely to be an increasing problem as warming continues. In the UK we are already net importers of 40% of our food so will be particularly vulnerable as farmers who supply us will come under pressure to divert food to their local populations. The shortage of some salad items earlier this year is a forerunner of the future.Quote:

There are a few things in that article that don’t match up with what I’ve read else where? Everywhere else I have read that heat pumps need less maintenance than a gas boiler (no annual safety checks etc) and also that they last twice as long?Quote:

Suggest he is exaggerating to help make his point which undermines the whole article.

10-20k for what is effectively a fridge in reverse.
