What a bonkers header. We already produce our own nuclear warheads. Its the missiles we don't have. And we can buy them from France.

Big energy curtailment day today. Current marginal elec price is negative: -16.67.Only one Party going to do that.
A day where if we’d managed to sort transmission, and electrified heating and transport more quickly, we’d be happily looking on at the Straits of Hormuz with a sense of detachment.

From that link:Big energy curtailment day today. Current marginal elec price is negative: -16.67.We are still importing power, 7.9% right now through the interconnectors: https://grid.iamkate.com/

The wind figure at 21.79GW is phenomenal but it is still not enough. We have a long way to go to become a consistent energy exporter.
Between 12th January 1882, when the world’s first coal-fired power station opened at 57 Holborn Viaduct in London, and 30th September 2024, when Great Britain’s last coal-fired power station closed, the country burnt 4.6 billion tonnes of coal, emitting 10.6 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide.
Google informs us:
China is the world's largest consumer of coal, burning over 4.3 billion tonnes annually, which accounts for more than 50% of total global consumption.

Big energy curtailment day today. Current marginal elec price is negative: -16.67.Increasingly convinced our creaking grid is the root cause of UK energy problems, but one gets no public attention. It's not fit for current use, let alone future electrification. Fix the grid and a lot of the issues to do with new energy sources and energy security would be minimised, if they don't disappear entirely.

No. That would be completely nuts.I’m with Marc Almond. Fancy a pint !!Superb snippet in the Craigie Column in the Courier yesterday:I'm with a bunch of sailors. Would you like some semen?
A wife sends a romantic message to her husband.
"If you are sleeping send me your dreams. If you are laughing send me your smile. If you are eating send me a bite. If you are drinking send me a sip. If you are crying send me your tears. I love you!"
The husband replied: "I am on the toilet. Please advise."

The other thing with the komrpomat material is that literally nothing Trump has said or done has damaged him with his supporters at all. He's essentially impossible to blackmail.Yes, this is one of two anti Trump chestnuts that I, despite being a full monty despiser of the man, do not buy. I don't think he's a Russian agent or being blackmailed by them with 'kompromat', and I don't think he's doing any of these military pyrotechnics to get Epstein off the front pages.
He's doing what he's doing because he wants to.

US has told key European allies that arms supplies that have been bought for Ukraine may be delayed due to prioritisation of the war in the Middle East-FT

So Trump starts a war against Russia's key ally, Iran, with Russia coming in on the Persian side and the upshot is Putin gets tons of oil $ and a diversion of weapons away from Ukr and the West's economies are shafted.
Stop making sense.
