I've been trying out different top variants and, for me, BashTOP is the clear winner. Tells me everything I need at a glance, helpful colours and lots of config options. I can just leave it running in a terminal window for when I need it. #Linux
To meet our legally-binding 2050 net zero target, we must stop burning natural gas in homes. We have 25 years to do it.
18m homes need to switch from natural gas: 14k a week.
Heat pumps are expensive & not suitable for everywhere. Electric heating is 3x the cost of gas.
Hydrogen could work but everyone would need new appliances & trials have met with strong public resistance
Any solution will need government action to make it happen. We need a serious public conversation now.

Difference in number of seats won by a party compared to their final MRP projection:
đź”´ Labour: -19
🔵 Conservatives: +19
đźź Liberal Democrats: 0
🟡 SNP: -11
⚪ Reform UK: +2
🌻 Plaid Cymru: +1
🟢 Greens: +2

There's no adulation for Labour or Starmer. This election is about kicking out the Tories. Starmer's success is that no-one is scared of him as PM.
