United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Energy bills in Great Britain rise by 5% as price cap increasesEnglish
1·2 years agoWe have a lot of gas power stations. These are more efficient, cheaper and cleaner than coal or oil and can be brought online when it’s a cold, windless winter day but when gas goes up, so does the cost of electricity.
Until there’s a considerable battery base installed, this is the way of things for now.

UK Politics@feddit.uk•Labour grassroots back Starmer’s new stance on gender, allies claim after poll
11·2 years agoTrans women are biological men. They do or did produce small gametes if healthy because they heave XY chromosomes. Biological women do or did produce large gametes if healthy because they have XX chromosomes.
That’s why you use the phrase biological women and biological men. Society can be respectful and let them dress and live as normally as they can but they are men and shouldn’t be allowed in biological women’s spaces.

1·2 years agoLook DWP, if you don’t want to give out benefits, just stop doing it. Don’t arrest people. Like you can just say you hate poor people and you don’t think they should have money. This is just getting silly now
