🚨 | Alok Sharma been given a knighthood. He has helped blow up the UK’s energy infrastructure.

💥 This adding to the woes of households as energy bills this year have gone through the roof.

💷 We have seen an extra 150bn wealth transfer to energy companies in 2022 vs 2019
While ministers have been blowing up the UKs domestic energy infrastructure we have also moved to a reliance on foreign gas.

The result high energy prices.

And remember three quarters of the current gas price increase happened before the Ukraine war.

You can read the amendment to the vaccine requirement here, it was due to expire on 08 Jan - tsa.gov/sites/default/…

H/T to @puggboy92 for alerting me to this.
My blog several months ago explained the data that does not support this decision if the aim is to stop Covid entering the country.

🚨 | The number of patients in critical care beds in England is the highest now apart from winter 20/21 looking at the past 6 years

💥 It's not Covid behind this with about 1%, or 41 patients in critical care predominantly due to Covid much lower than the Jan 21 peak of ~ 3,816 Image
We have around 165 patients in critical care with Covid but the main reason for admission is something else. The virus may or may not be a factor for the main reason.

Around 267 patients are in critical care with Flu.

But the majority, around 2,895 are not in with Covid or Flu. Image
We had a higher percentage of critical care beds occupied pre-pandemic than generally so far this 2022/23 winter but there were also fewer beds then.

In the 7 days to 25 Dec around 82.1% of adult critical care beds were occupied

The winter % occupancy peak was 87.4% in 17/18

🚨 | ‘The US Government still have travel restrictions for non US Citizens if you haven't had two vaccinations you can't enter the USA’

💥 Chat on different countries having different approaches to Chinese travellers and testing.

➡️ UK replicating Australia saying no plans.
Australia comfortable not introducing negative test requirements for arrivals from China because the main variant authorities believed was circulating in that country had already spread throughout Australia in July.

🚨 | UK agreed on a deal to import more gas from the USA, but reliance on imports is why energy prices are so high.

💥 UK’s reliance on gas to generate electricity has gone from 0.6% in 1986 to 40% in 2021

statsjamie.co.uk/high-energy-pr…
Back in 1986, two-thirds of UK electricity generation came from coal, 20% from nuclear, 10% from oil, & 0.6% from gas. Fast forward to 2021 and the clamor for cleaner energy, just 2% of electricity generation came from coal, 40% from gas, 38% from renewables, and 15% from nuclear Image
In 2021 the UK used more imported gas than domestically produced for the first time ever

Around 30% of the total UK gas supply is used to generate electricity, with 37% used domestically to heat homes and the remaining 33% across industry and services. Image
