Thought for the day
"The interesting thing is that (some) humans have a hard time coming to terms with the fact that 2,400 gigatonnes of carbon (our total emissions since pre-industrial times) might make a difference to the climate,
.. but very readily get behind the idea of a few hygroscopic flares making 18 months worth of rain fall in a day."

Currently - "the maximum daily price at 100p / kWh for electricity and 30p / kWh for gas
– keep in mind that's a lot higher than the Ofgem Energy Price Cap, so if you can't afford prices to increase further, you're probably better off sticking with a protected tariff such as Flexible Octopus."
Octopus Tracker is a product of our labs, available now to customers through our beta programme.
Octopus Tracker is a beta product. Some things may not work the first time, and installations and processes may take longer than we'd like. Third party tech like In-home Displays won't always work, and on occasion data issues with smart meters can take significant time to fix or prevent things from working at all.
Copied straight from octopus

Back to octopus from the smart meter/tariff salesperson.
Octopus have now said just ignore the letter - I dont have to have one despite there letter implying (at least) it was required, but that i will HAVE to have a smart meter if current meters stop working as 'their suppliers dont supply non smart meters any more'.
They also say they do not/will not disable any smart functionality when they fit a smart meter
I am of course going to challenge that. Thats their choice of meter fitter/supplier problem not mine
-
That may be your personal claimed experience
I said i didn't want smart meters - you jumped in to recommend smart meters
I quite clearly indicated I was happy with being in credit to maintain constant payments - you suggest paying what I owe every month
I quite clearly indicated I was happy with being in credit to maintain constant payments - you suggest a variable tariff - even if its one that only varies on a daily basis rather than half/hourly - with prices higher in winter when you need it and lowest in summer when you need it least
politeness ends with:
- I'm NOT interested in any smart tariff I see,
You are pushing your smart meter + variable tariffs in the wrong place - try pushing them somewhere 'nearer to home'

Post Office scandal expert Moorhead predicts solicitor strike-offs
Richard Moorhead, professor of law and professional ethics at the University of Exeter and a prolific writer on the Horizon scandal, said it was ‘highly likely’ that people would be removed from the profession. He added that he also expects one or two individuals to face criminal prosecutions.
He was ‘cautiously supportive’ of the Solicitors Regulation Authority's position of waiting until the public inquiry has finished before taking any decisions on disciplinary proceedings, saying the regulator has been doing a lot of investigatory work behind the scenes. But Moorhead said the SRA should provide ‘greater clarity and detail’ about what it is doing currently.

As thames water pushes to further rip off captive customers, not get fined for it, and allow more dividends .. for little more than 'aspirations' to do better
More detail comes out of the literally and figuratively sh** companies apparently shunting money out of the regulated business to profit/bonus/dividend generating unregulated side companies
"Accounts filed at Companies House show :
(Kennets) accounts, filed more than 12 months after the end of Kennet’s financial year, showed that the company made a £1.15m pre-tax profit for the year to 31 March 2023, up from £374,000 a year earlier. Revenues rose to £1.6m in 2023 – up from £1m in
"Kennet Properties paid out a £14.5m dividend in the year to 31 March 2023"
"Kennet ?takes on? land no longer needed by Britain’s biggest water company before developing it and selling it on, typically for housing or commercial premises. It also received income for the use of sewer networks by third parties for fibre-optic cabling."

So
1. Doctors examine their patients and find them unfit for work
2. A whole new level of administration and examination is added to redo the doctors job on top of the doctors job - probably MORE THAN doubling the cost (to the taxpayer) of the process - with all the extra money for all the extra processes no doubt going to the private sector ie Crapita rather than giving extra funding to GPs - and probably actually coming out of a reduced GP budget
3. With the tories no doubt
lyingclaiming this is extra money to the NHS to reduce waiting lists and take the burden off GPsIt is of course just another dogwhistle - although I'm sure they would be happy to shunt more taxpayer money to hunts pals if they get away with it

Liz Truss says Tories are part of a Blairite attempt to silence her. Reform UK leader Richard Tice said the Conservative Party is 'socialist' and suggested Rishi Sunak is not a 'real conservative'.
.. says the definitely NOT real Conservatives
Lets also hope that Starmer implements a clause where bringing the UK into disrepute, or breaching the requirements of ex UK PMs results in the permanent withdrawal of ALL UK taxpayer funding of them

Well, we know it seems that the poops and others just use there MP position mainly to generate funds from their 'outside' lol interests
Lets hope labor BAN second jobs for Mps - all second jobs - then create a truly independent expenses 'police' with real powers
Tip of the iceberg:
"A cohort of Conservative MPs standing down before the next election have netted jobs worth millions of pounds and have taken dozens of all-expenses-paid trips funded by foreign governments and lobbyists, the Observer can reveal."
so far - "top of the list was former justice secretary Brandon Lewis, who has taken on five new part-time roles worth £410,000 a year alongside his commitments as an MP.
