    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the vote was supposedly secret, unless the MPs want to make their vote known. Raab was on TV this morning. When asked why he said about TM that her position was untenable after she won her vote of no confidence, he said that she had a minority government. So the current crew can carry on like...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    not by the same margin though. It's clear that BJ can't really call a GE right away. Labour will say that the conservative party is split in the middle and the electorate won't like split parties.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The polls give Labour 20 points ahead in the by-election in Wakefield. BJ is severely damaged and no longer an electoral asset. BJ employs 150 MPs in his government, so he only needs 30 backbenchers to 'win' this vote but the fact that roughly 40% tory MPs want him to go, the party is clearly...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    BJ is incompetent in delivering what he promises. He let Hancock and Sunak waste hundreds of billions that we don't have and now the future generations will have to pay it back one way or another. It's time tory MPs let him go.

    it does because rich or poor, we all pay for his core policy mistakes.

    I believe you are free to choose your social denominations but juridically, it's still his organ until a court decides otherwise.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    are we talking about the difference between a (socially) transgender woman (the one still having his organ intact) and a transsexual woman (the one who went for permanent status change)?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Either Jeremy Hunt soft tory camp thinks he may win or BJ's camp thinks they can squish the rebels, I think the tories are ready to give Hunt a chance. BJ took up Labour's policies too closely. Hunt wll give them the chance to stop No11 wasting money to save BJ.

    Forthcoming EU Red Tape Bonfire

    the fully acting throttle is largely ignored. I have not come across any case where someone was prosecuted for having one. It's not the same for manufacturers though, we have to comply.

    whatever else they come up with next? They did not forecast earthquakes in Yorkshire at the beginning and when minor earthquakes happened, that destroyed their credibility, it shows how little preparation work went into this project. Most of my stock is in bike parts. in the last 12 years, the...

    The main thing is PV panel is much more efficient at converting solar energy into electricity than any other paths such as solar thermal panels, bio-fuel crops etc. Metals dissolve in rain water: modern solar panels contain zero cadmium and a tiny amount of lead in its associated electronics but...

    the problem with nuclear power, whether from fission or fusion, is the high energy neutrons (>1MeV) that are produced by the nuclear reactions and need to be absorbed, slowed down to thermal neutrons (<1eV) and controlled. Unabsorbed high energy neutrons hit the moderation liquid and the walls...

    I wouldn't go that far but I believe that the cost of decommissioning being passed onto future generations is a good enough reason to stay away as much as possible from more nuclear power until fusion becomes reality. At present, the cost per kW of solar panels is about £200. You get about 4kWH...

    that's the problem with JRM's list. JRM is the minister for unleashing brexit benefits but most of the ideas he came up with smell of lobbyism. My suggestion for him would be to cut red tape on community solar farms (1MW or less) to deal with the high cost of energy.

    I have been waiting for years to see the proof that GM is better than simple horticultural selection. As far as I am aware, GM gives manufacturers the ability to stop farmers propagate the seeds themselves and force them to continue buying the GM seeds from them.

    Cheap e-bike? £600?

    Power = torque * rotational speed. Let's say your motor No1 is a direct drive and your motor No 2 is geared and has a ratio of 5 to 1 reduction for example. Both climb the same hill at the same speed. You can see that the rotor of motor No 2 spins therefore 5 times faster than the rotor of motor...

    here is the full list of 9 potential brexit benefits: 1. Encourage fracking, shortcut rules on planning consultation via emergency act. 2. Abolish the EU regulations that restrict vacuum cleaner power to 1400 watts. 3. Remove precautionary principle restrictions (for instance) on early use of...

    Cheap e-bike? £600?

    the disadvantage of those direct drive kits is clear when climbing a steep hill. Imagine doing that with your car stuck in fifth gear. The motor will not run in its sweet zone, the more you try to compensate for the lack of torque, the more current it will pump until the controller reaches its...
