@JeevunSandher needs to google “post tax return on capital.”
Just another commie who has never run a business or made a significant investment decision.

My report makes six key recommendations:
Fix the broken understanding of how the gas market works. Policymakers should recognise that British gas production is not sold on global markets at a global price. The GB gas market uses marginal pricing and additional domestic production displaces more expensive LNG imports, thereby reducing British gas prices. The report argues that claims that additional UK production cannot affect domestic prices are simply wrong.
Increase UK Continental Shelf gas production. Domestic gas should be preferred to imports wherever possible. UKCS gas is both cheaper and cleaner than imported LNG and provides a secure source of supply directly connected to the British gas network.
Reduce reliance on electricity imports. Britain is increasingly depending on electricity imports during periods of low domestic renewable generation. However, highly correlated weather patterns mean low wind generation in Britain can coincide with shortages elsewhere. The report warns that Norway and France cannot be assumed to provide unlimited electricity to their neighbours during periods of stress.
Model gas and electricity security together. The gas grid transports far more energy than the electricity network. Electrifying heating will take decades while gas-fired generation will remain critical to electricity security for years to come. The report argues that planning should recognise the interdependencies of gas and electricity to a greater extent.
Focus on cheap energy. Rapidly rising network costs are overtaking fuel costs as the main driver of energy bills. The report calls for tighter control of network expenditure and for the suspension of the Connect & Manage regime, arguing that consumers should not be required to fund expensive infrastructure whose output is frequently constrained or wasted.
Treat energy security as national security. The government should subject energy policy to an explicit national-security test, prioritising resilience, diversity of supply, sufficient domestic energy capacity and the preservation of strategically important industrial capability alongside affordability and sustainability.

The Chinese didn’t force European drivers to buy EVs; EU and UK government mandates did.
If the EU or the UK wants a ‘policy lever’ to prevent China from dominating the EV market, all they need to do is drop the EV and ZEV mandates.

French 10 year yields now at 5%.
The only way out increasingly looks like default. They owe what they cannot print and politically are incapable of slashing spending, slashing regulation and slashing taxes.
The slow-motion car crash that is European sovereign balance sheets is speeding up.

Rasmussen is the pollster Republican Washington actually listens to.
It just put DCVax in front of the people who decide.
Written by Stephen Moore. Trump advisor. Heritage. Direct line.
Recognizes that the treatment is real. And that the FDA is the holdup.
The push is Right to Try. NOW.
Rasmussen has nearly 400k monthly readers, including political influencers and decision-makers.
$NWBO's story just hit the desks that matter.

$NWBO American GBM patients should have the right to access DCVax. Dr. Bosch presented this past Sunday at the Atria Health and Research Institute in NYC. 5 month OS benefit, tail is long, easy injection to the arm, no toxicity, and the combination potential is extraordinary.

Let @HollensbeBrae get her DCVax treatments in the U.S.
“…But why not let the patient, not Food and Drug Administration regulators, decide the most important decision of her life: how to stay alive?…”
“..Her family has health insurance, but they must pay for every flight and every dose out of pocket, with help from money raised from strangers online through GoFundMe.
Why London?
Because in Britain, a licensed physician can prescribe a promising treatment that for no rational reason has not been approved even on a limited and trial basis in the U.S…”

❤️ IT’S OFFICIAL! WE’RE MEETING PRESIDENT TRUMP TOMORROW! 🇺🇸
Braelyn and I have been invited to attend tomorrow’s rally for Darline Graham in Clemson! We’ll be seated in the VIP section AND have the opportunity to meet President Trump in the “click line”!
Ben is cutting his work trip short, and we’re hoping he’ll make it home in time to join us!
We’ll have only seconds with the President, but I intend to make every one of them count. I’ll also be bringing information for him and his staff about Braelyn, DCVax-L, and the barriers American patients face trying to access promising treatments developed right here in the United States.
This is an extraordinary opportunity, but we’re hoping it can become something even bigger.
PLEASE HELP US GET THE ATTENTION OF THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS TEAM! 🙏
We would love the opportunity for a longer conversation with President Trump or his administration about how we can make these treatments accessible to American patients.
Please SHARE, REPOST, and TAG anyone who might help get Braelyn’s story in front of the right people!
Three years ago, Braelyn was given just months to live. Today she’s 19, attending college, and her latest MRI shows NO EVIDENCE OF DISEASE RECURRENCE!
Her story deserves to be heard. And so do the stories of countless other patients fighting for access to promising treatments.

Curing cancer by activating our own immune systems outside of the body and training them to recognise the cancer, and then re-injecting cancer killing cells.
This is working on glioblastoma - one of the very hardest to treat cancers. The technique works on all solid tumours.
My one position I could see being a 100x to 1,000x.
MHRA approval in the UK is apparently imminent - then I expect that all hell breaks loose on the share price!
Amanda & daughter Braelyn will meet Pres Trump tomorrow. Braelyn once had a virulent brain tumor that covered 3 quadrants of her brain. Now, her latest scan shows no evidence of cancer, thanks to lifesaving treatment she traveled to England for.
The 2 won't have much time w Pres Trump, but they'll let him know that these treatments need to be available in the U.S.
No, no, no - this cannot be true, because I heard Red Ed Mili-brain @Ed_Miliband tell everyone that there is an international price for gas.
Either you are wrong or he is a mental Pygmy.

A country is not just territory and borders, but a group of people who choose to live together.

Burnham said the EU Reset could add £10B to the UK economy by 2040.
But research from @GBBC_UK found the deal will cost the UK £20.5B per year by 2030.
So, even if the Government’s estimates turn out to be correct, the UK will still be paying more each year than it generates.
