What's in a name
Tory Scum or Labour Trash.

Quote:Labour has promised to invest £1bn in carbon capture, usage and storage (CCUS) to produce blue hydrogen and to capture carbon dioxide from new gas-fired power stations – with a decision on the first tranche of the funding expected imminently.

That was a week ago. And science said:

Quote:Leading climate scientists are urging the government to pause plans for a billion pound investment in “green technologies” they say are unproven and would make it harder for the UK to reach its net zero targets.
...Rely on carbon capture and storage (CCS) during the production of hydrogen – technology they say has been abandoned in the vast majority of similar projects around the world. Link

How many times do we have to build these things to prove they don’t work?

And today:

Quote:Rachel Reeves is paving the way for a multibillion-pound increase in public-sector investment at the budget after the government announced plans to commit almost £22bn over 25 years to fund carbon capture and storage projects. Link

Me and my cat live in a tiny two bedroom house and last winter the leccie bill was  ~£50 PW. 

Quote:The government expects to save £1.3 billion in 2024/25 and around £1.5 billion in subsequent years from cuts to the Winter Fuel Payment.

This winter it will be in the £70s

Cut pensioners fuel allowance and save £1.3 billion then spend £22 billion on. 

On what exactly?

The UK is rapidly becoming a banana republic. Without the bananas.

If climate change continues apace you'll be able to grow bananas along the banks of the Thames.
