@tomhayes really gets it. Clean energy creates many great jobs. It's critical that the UK's transition delivers new dynamic industries, great careers - and lowers costs for consumers. Caving to incumbents hold back opportunities, adds costs & kills investment in the future.

A clean energy transition needs skilled workers. @OctopusEnergy is creating 4,000 green jobs by 2030 with the UK’s first low-carbon heating apprenticeships scheme. That's how we get clean energy solutions into people's homes and ensure our workforce isn't left behind.

Something good is brewing in the UK. A set of people - often founders - who are not up for the status quo managed decline any more. The immune response from that community to the take down piece on Matt an early sign.

Great to see Britain’s “build build build” pro-renewables campaign making the case for zonal pricing. The renewables sector puts its own pipeline at risk if it doesn’t support market reforms to reduce bills. People are losing patience. We can’t lead the world on Net Zero if…

The Government should back cheaper local energy. By slashing the cost of energy for those who live close to where it’s produced we can cut bills for everyone, putting more money in people’s pockets and encouraging businesses to invest and create jobs.

The @HMTreasury reforms to consolidate & professionalise UK pensions will benefit pensioners, companies & the economy. As @InstituteGC has said, the UK has the world's 3rd largest pensions market but none of the top 40 funds. The UK has suffered for it. buff.ly/40FUF74

But yes saturation is normal -- and in general this has what has been most suprising about the huge emphasis on scaling blindly and treating scaling laws as if they are reliable rules to govern future progress. I have had this as a grumpy part of all my talks for the last few…

Macron has gone out of his way to signal the importance of the 🇬🇧🇫🇷relationship on this Remembrance Day. The drive up the Champs Élysée in a command jeep is very unusual.

At Macron’s invitation, Keir Starmer is the first UK leader to attend the Nov 11th Armistice commemoration at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris since Churchill in 1944 🇫🇷🇬🇧

Today @RachelReevesMP has swept away one of the biggest weaknesses in the UK’s macroeconomic framework: the bias against public investment. It’s a very big deal.

British people love to talk about how much they love and value the NHS. Well, here’s something we could do that would be genuinely transformative and might just help safeguard the system we idolise so much

Rachel Cunliffe(New Statesman): "We need to rethink how we think about patient data... I worry about hacks & privacy... but if you can fix that... you can be patriotic by enabling your data to be used for medical advancement... but we're very squeamish about it." #PoliticsLive

The atom was first split in Britain. We had the first nuclear power plant. We had more reactors than everyone else put together in 1965, and produced more nuclear power annually than any other country in the early 70s. We need to fix nuclear permitting & planning, ASAP.

Completely agree with Dominic Lawson - our failure on nuclear has stymied growth, increased costs and will constrain our AI potential thetimes.com/article/6c0667…

I hate doing personal posts but: When my mum was dying last year, NHS data sharing failures and prioritising GDPR over pain relief repeatedly left her in agony. In desperation I began to build a Google Doc of her records linked to a QR code for doctors to scan. System's broken.

When Attlee and Bevan built the NHS in 1948, they could scarcely have imagined that the NHS would make us ideally placed for the revolution in medical science and technology. Just as they built the NHS for the 20th century, we’ll rebuild it for the 21st. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Many of the NHS’s difficulties can be traced back to the deep cuts in manager numbers. Fixing this doesn’t just unblock waiting lists, it also gives doctors more time to be doctors, and alleviates the stress and poor morale that come from having to do things that aren’t your job
