We turn 50% into electrical energy we sell to the grid, the HT and LT circuits go direct to the greenhouses, the oil cooling circuit is sent to the hot water aswell. The exhaust is then treated through a urea filter to extract the CO2 and that is pumped into the greenhouses.

Plants grow much much quicker, Holland are the absolute kings at this. Bergen and Janbacher are the most common nes doing it out there. There is also a plant in Kent and the IOW.

Dave!

I see what you did there

It was so cunning I didn't even know I did it!

Dave!

I've obviously missed it but why is Burnham so favoured to the point where he becomes an MP and then he's Prime Minister elect with no challengers?

Who could challenge him?

I can’t help but think Farages announcement is linked to this!

To be honest I could name more of the cabinet and shadow cabinet when I was in primary school thanks to Spitting Image. How is any political party in such a state that it doesn't have anyone ready and willing to challenge for leadership?

Because they spent a decade weeding out anyone who doesn’t go along with the centre right sensibles.

Streeting would’ve run but he was apparently bought off with the chancellor’s job. Not that he’d be any good in either role, he’s basically just a pile of private healthcare lobby money under a shite haircut.

Just reading about his coronation speech.

Do you work hard?
Do you pay your fair share of tax?
Have you saved to reward yourself for working hard?
Have planned not to be a burden on the state in later life?

Yes?? - then you're fucked...

Nothing completely explicit as yet but the writing's on the wall.

This is not the Labour I voted for...

I haven't been keeping up with it, but it seems implausible that he'd say that.

Yeah he hasn’t really said anything yet
Seems to be another master of talking a bunch without giving any answers.

or he’s deliberately not outlining every single plan on his first friday afternoon in the job before even declaring his cabinet. thats a job for a monday - rather than letting the media rip into their interpretation of the policies over the weekend.

we’ve had 2 years of the press deciding every policies success before it’s even been implemented.

I just think it's mental that we've had this guy pop up without any agenda as some sort of messiah and everyone is just going along with it.

I still think Its better than the alternative - have 4 or 5 no hopers all standing against each other, backing each other into ever tighter corners by having to over promise on their manifestos (which end up catching themselves out 6 months later when the press roast them alive for having the break them).

Everything has turned into trial by press, we’re told not to like Starmer because he declared he was bought some new glasses, we’re told that fucking up on your stamp duty is high treason, yet being given huge bungs and breaching the ministerial codes is ok.

It’s time our PM took control of the press better and didn’t give them endless fodder to hang him.

I don’t agree with the outsider comment… I’d rather a PM who ran a department successfully before being given the keys to No. 10, but it’s all so pathetic now. Current politics is - rich get richer, poorer get poorer and middle earners get taxed more.

A bland, uninspiring speech.

Lots of nice vibes and hopes and dreams, but I don't think I've seen unelected Burnham, at any point, give a single clarification on how he intends to deliver any of his points.

Oh, and nice of Starmer to do a rare U-turn and dish out a load of honours, despite previously pledging he wouldn't!

Making Khan a Lord is hilarious, especially as he wanted the House of Lords to be abolished. He’s such a slimy turd that he’ll happily accept a peerage though!

Of course he will! And they have the audacity to act all virtuous.. just as slimy as the worst Tories. Cunts.

Burnham is pledging politican stability, which is a bit rich from someone who's just ousted the PM after serving only two years.

To be fair, it was the Labour MPs who ousted Starmer. Burnham wasn't even an MP so wasn't in a position to do that.
