The PM says it is normal to rebuild or refurbish 500 schools per decade. And there are 22,000 schools. So that means schools have to last 440 years. Hope they built them well. Oh, ...
My MP must be very proud to have the endorsement of such a diversity of constituents.
Thank you to the Selection Council of Suffolk Coastal Conservative Association for re-adopting me aa their candidate for the next General Election #VoteConservative

What puzzles me is gov't argument that you shouldn't windfall tax them because they've committed to invest, I think, 18Bn *between them* by 2030. That's chicken feed compared with profits.
At last someone has mentioned decoupling the market. In response to question about why we are paying for electricity at gas generation prices when most isn't gas generated. So....?

Why are UK electricity consumers being charged gas-price-driven prices when only minority of UK electricity is from gas? I have to pay extra for a 100% renewable tariff - it ought to be cheaper! Somebody in the middle must be making increased profits at expense of consumers.
I'm sorry but the actual figures don't support the idea that non-UK students are displacing UK. Non-UK went up by 1360, UK went down by 12,000. This was position 1 day after A2 results. Other influences are at play.
I think the more relevant ratio is under 500 ECR fellowships in total in UK per year amongst more than 30,000 postdocs.
