If, if, RUK had even one tiny shred of credibility, they definitely haven't now.

You don't need credibility to con the gullible.

[The Weeping Angel]

Of course this will be all over the news.

There is no way they won't implode by 2029.

Farage apparently conceded that a better deal could be done with the EU today. Was that the first time?

Funnily enough, he didn't explain what it should be.

[Youngian]

Probably red tape on imports and exports but common regulation means a common court to arbitrate between parties in dispute. Or unelected foreign judges telling us what to do. Sovereignty is all Farage has left in the bag.

[mattomac]

I wonder why they did a poll over the weekend.

It usually the least reliable time to do one.

Remember when Farage was proudly boasting about his role in Johnson’s victory?

Boris Johnson was “one of the most damaging prime ministers in this country’s history”, according to the chairman of Nigel Farage’s Reform UK.

Zia Yusuf also said the disgraced ex-PM, found to have deliberately lied and lied again to parliament over Partygate, would not be welcome in his party.
“History will judge Boris Johnson as one of the most damaging prime ministers in this country’s history.”

The rise in net migration during Mr Johnson’s time in power was “a total betrayal of everybody who voted for Brexit”, he said. “He took public spending close to Soviet Union spending.

He also branded the Tories an "extremely left-wing party" in government. He did say that ex-home secretary Suella Braverman would be welcome in Reform UK.https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/p ... 94084.html

I beg, implore, beseech one of these fuckers to open a book for once in their miserable fucking lives.

[Samanfur]

Admitting that they read a book even once wouldn't go down well with their base.

Heavyweight analysis here.

Tice says renewables cannot be cheaper because backup is needed.

You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to realize that the cost of renewables plus backup must be more than the cost of backup. It’s basic common sense.

Using something as back up costs the same as using it all the time. You read it here first.

You would be surprised how many times that argument gets deployed. Or maybe you wouldn't.
The fact is that gas turbine stations in particular can spin up from idle with very short notice. Yes, they have to be kept maintained, but that's a background cost.

Ha ha ha.

He's such a danger to business that he wants them to warn investors about them?

It's almost like gas storage exists too.

Is it only infrastructure for cables that has to go underground? How many constituencies do they think there are in rural Lincolnshire?

[Killer Whale]

To be fair, he seems to have a feeling of how much anti-corporate sentiment there is out there. I'm sure that it was to quite a large extent behind Trump's victory, which, in that sense, was one of the greatest examples of bait-and-switch in history.

[Killer Whale]

Yeah. Stick the roads and drainage dykes underground, too.

[Malcolm Armsteen]

Fargle underground?

We wish...
