I've read they can't just reverse it without breaking the contract. So companies will invest now as they if the new gov breaks the contract they can take them to court. Could be wrong

Are there contracts signed? The licences have just been announced?

Harper is an arse and no loss to them, although committed to the environment. Although I do think there has to be a pro union green party. 50% of green GE voters polled in Scotland said the didn't want independence.

Sir Keir Starmer pledges to repeal any new anti-strike laws in first big speech of the year

"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.

Keir Starmer has said an incoming Labour government would repeal Rishi Sunak’s anti-strike legislation, setting out clear dividing lines with the Conservatives on workers’ rights before the next general election.

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".

They are a bunch of charlatans.

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

I'm not mixing them up. I realize they are two separate bills. Both every bit as heinous with Labour's approach being to do nothing about either of them.

I was wrong twice yesterday in posts. If you admit you were wrong you'll have a much better experience on here. Away to fill up my car with nuclear energy

Go back and read my posts over. I never claimed them to be the same bill and my point about Labour having no plans to do anything about either of them remains correct regardless.

The article is about the strike bill, Starmer saying time to settle in was a completely different bill, David Lammy also talked about a different bill to the strike bill...

He said a u turn on strike bill and gave example of lammy who was talking about protest bill. As yet they say are repealing strike bill and repeated that last month.

It's no big deal regardless

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.

Fair play and there is no excuse to not veto the protest bill. They are a horrible shower, but not as bad as the gestapo sorry tories imo and I know that's hardly a compliment

Wild. If Germany had kept its nuclear production at the same level, it could have ended burning coal and gas for electricity completely. Instead they now get 25% of power from burning fossil fuels

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

And not just for that.

Thankfully they are investing heavily in renewables so it will change. But in the meantime a lot of gas and coal needlessly burnt.

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.

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.

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.

Greta Thunberg cancels her attendance at Edinburgh Book Festival

“I am unfortunately unable to attend the Edinburgh Book Festival. As a climate activist I cannot attend an event which receives sponsorship from Baillie Gifford, who invest heavily in the fossil fuel industry. Greenwashing efforts by the fossil fuel industry, including sponsorship of cultural events, allow them to keep the social license to continue operating. I cannot and do not want to be associated with events that accept this kind of sponsorship.”

Robert Mcalpine argues for community heating programmes for flats. Heat pumps just aren't viable just now for them. They would all need insulated, double glazed and then a huge price for the heat pump insulation.

Only problem I see to his plan is the mixed make up of Scotlands flats. Council, housing associations, renters, Airbnb, bought houses and absentee landlords. Would need joined up thinking and government legislation

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?

I would also dearly love the number of the guy who instals his gas boilers for him?

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