[Politics] Labour Party meltdown incoming.......

Isn't there?, a coincidence I'm sure that this figure is the same as the supposed £22bn black hole

Government pledges nearly £22bn for carbon capture projects

Sir Keir Starmer says carbon capture clusters on Merseyside and Teesside will "kickstart growth".

it is a conincidence. that funding is over 25 years and was mostly already planned. makes use of the old oil and gas fields, creates a new industry, actual does something useful towards delivering net zero carbon.

By my calc, assuming it works it will cover about 10% of our emissions from domestic heating. This Tory idea seems more about politics than practicality

I guess this is over 25 years, still a lot of money. Must admit I'm not a fan of carbon capture, sends the wrong message

Are we we talking about capturing carbon dioxide? Not all of it needs to be stored, it has many uses in industry.

We'd be better off spending money in reducing consumption is fossil fuels, like insulating the most leaky homes in northern Europe.

Can be used on ERFs too, not just gas fired generators.

I think the private schools themselves can claim some credit due to the 9% price rises they've previously done( and seem to do most years).

Still they'll be filling up unsubscribed schools and allowing them to function more efficiently.

Sorry, what was the bad news?

If there are schools with fewer pupils and smaller class sizes and still people don't want to go to them, then it suggests that making children go to them is bad news. "This school is appalling, let's expand it" is not my recipe for success.

You are assuming there's a correlation between "bad" schools and popularity and or oversubscription. In my experience there isn't. But the best way to improve those schools ( and therefore support the children attending them) is for them to be as near to full as possible

There are but most of them involve Co2 re-entering the atmosphere. There's usually a large release if we beat Palace at the Amex...
