At time of writing the number of petitions over the lifetime of the system that reached Parliament and then led to law change or action stands at 0. Its a pointless PR exercise in looking like they care. The law on it doesn't even require it to enter the commons, merely to be debated in some back room for half an hour by 3 or 4 mps.

I did see that if you counted up EU stats as a single set of figures instead of country by country the EU would count as the 2nd greatest economy in the world and comfortably ahead of the third.

I do know now though that any account from anyone remotely tired is totally worthless though. And that you can manufacture ghost experiences just with a few speakers your victim cannot even hear.

Exactly this. I very much doubt this is anything but the realpolik that is always going on that is a large part of keeping the country secure and the taps flowing.

Heat pumps still need to get much cheaper to be viable for most people.

1. Complete putting Thames Water into administration
2. Place Thames Water under government control, set public benefit goals
3. Wait for improvements in the data
4. Pass law that any water company failing to exceed Thames Water performance will be merged with it
5. Wait for the firms to strangle themselves with the rope you gave them

The way it looks to me right now - pressure mounts on practically every side, Labour popularity rises toward the election (its been said front loading unpopular stuff is deliberate), Tories start trying to distance themselves from Reform (to avoid becoming known America apologists for a start), relationship repair becomes a keystone of the 2029 - 2034 session.
