Today is a good day for using electricity in the UK. Being paid to use electricity is the power of half-hourly metering and fuel-free renewable electricity. Thanks @OctopusEnergy #agile tariff for leading the way.

Just left Ukraine. What I saw proved to me we can’t give up on the Ukrainian people. Everyone wants this war to end, but any agreement has to protect Ukraine’s security and can’t be a giveaway to Putin. Let me tell you about my trip and why it’s important we stand with Ukraine.🧵

If Trump’s vision is one where strength is wielded without principle, alliances are transactional, and power serves only itself, then the U.S. is not just withdrawing from the world—it is undermining the very rationale for its own global power.

But no European proposal appears to be enough. Because in the Vance view, even a US backstop, with no boots on the ground, seems to be pointless. And on Tues morning he decides to publicly trash contributors' "battlefield experience" and "military equipment". Diplomatic arson.

The level of casuistry from JD Vance is extraordinary. Over the weekend, fresh from the Zelensky ambush, Trump was playing golf & Vance was skiing. Meanwhile British, French and European officials were working flat out to fix their mess & build a European proposal for guarantees.

This is thuggery from Trump and Vance, plain and simple. They are bullying the brave true patriot Zelensky into accepting a deal which effectively hands victory to Russia. Unless the UK and Europe step up, we are facing a betrayal of Ukraine.

This is a fantastic little book, it should be on the reading list of anyone who thinks about energy, whether it's your job, or you just wonder about how you'll heat your home, power your goods, travel etc etc in the future.

Some of the energy used to type this is from burning coal. It'll be one of the last times I do this in the UK, as Ratcliffe-on-Soar closes on Monday; ending 142 years of UK coal power. A proud history, whilst also being proud of bringing it to a close. electricinsights.co.uk/#/homepage?&_k…
