Gas panic terrible bus crash  on Venice this evening. With lots of mention of how the bus was powered by methane which then caught fire.witth a plan to replace natural gas with hydrogen I'm seeing lots of comments about how it's more dangerous. My van has run on gas for the last five years, no problems I even had an electrical fire. 

I've seen a video of the complete burnout of a gas powered car, the gas tank didn't leak or explode . It's as safe as petrol.

I'm old and wise and been round the block a few times etc but I didn't know there were gas powered vehicles on the road.

Sunak making his speech today? Will he mention change a hundred times, and better future, different from the previous tory govt of Johnson that won a landslide, we will get to a beautiful green energy net zero by 2050 but without doing anything about it, so stick with him, the man of the people,  for a better future and not one controlled by stalinist woke eco zealot elites controlling Labour.

We're going to have to accept that GB News is now mainstream, it has the viewers and influence, and will likely become our Fox news and help drive Tory party to the right and then back into power.

I know there are different views, but I think cancelling of the HS2 link to Manchester is a sh*tty backwards step...which I guess indicates where we are, in decline.

So Nazi speeches and cancelling major infrastructure projects turns off voters?  Who knew?

Fed are saying interest rates are going to have to go up more. So the same will happen here. 6 percent minimum.

The people who claimed last week that the polls were moving in favour of the Tories look a bit foolish.

HS2 cancelled and the Tories all cheer as they waste years and bucket loads of money. They are dreadful.

[Crazyfool01]

hes lying ... how many new hospitals was it ? 

[Crazyfool01]

had to turn off .... would have ended up throwing something at the tv 😞 NF assholes 

[Guest]

This speech has been pretty dull.

[steviewevie]

not watching it. I'll check out the "highlights" later.

[chris_nre]

All soundbites and no substance.

Not sure cancelling the remainder of HS2 would pay for all the infrastructure projects he rattled off, let alone including resurfacing all the roads.

 

 

[steviewevie]

Bring Back Boris.

[steviewevie]

Did he promise to upgrade transpenine rail?..as has been promised continuously for the last decade or so.

[zahidf]

Transphobic piece of sh*t.

'It is time for a change' - said after being in government for 13 years.
