If you can hit net zero by 2050 without these things.......why were you looking to do them in the first place? After listening to The News Agents the guest they had on said the 2030 was to have a jump on investment ahead of the EU, hence why so many companies are pretty pissed off right now.

Xela Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Labour have said they will reverse the 2035 decision if(when?) they get in. The manufacturers are best off just ignoring what is being said and work to 2030 like before! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any company, or individual for that matter, making decisions based on their being a Tory government come start of 2025 is living in cloud cuckoo land.

chrisp65 Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 I mean, in reality this is my recycling. Except they left out the 8th bag, the old school black bin bag. it’s not in the slightest bit difficult, but I guess there’s a fake culture war to be won Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted September 21, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted September 21, 2023 I'm surprised they're not making more of the fact that the Heat Pump Grant has increased to £7,500. That's a big deal. It would make that Cozy 6 pump from Octopus Energy virtually free for everyone even those needing major additional work. I'm wondering if there is a catch because it shouldn't be no more than a footnote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t have anything as uncouth as a full sized wheelie bin, it’s all smallish sacks. Which I guess is a result of having so many types that it breaks down the volume of waste. We’re ‘allowed’ 2 black bags of just un sorted old fashioned rubbish, per 3 weeks. They’re only picked up every 3rd week and that one has proved problematic because people can’t remember the pattern. But for our house anyway, we’re not managing 2 black bags in 3 weeks, we’re putting out 1 and that’s not exactly full. I’m sure that would be a different story if we had two little kids or something. It’s like everything, the system takes a little getting used to, people have complained about their right to just dump rubbish unthinkingly being lost. But over a couple of years its just normal now.

It’s a 2 week cycle for us so it’s easy to remember (and as the bin collection point is outside our house we can see what the neighbours have put out a full 24 hours early). Week 1: Black Week 2: Blue and Green Like you, the black bin is usually only half full at most (unless i’ve been clearing out the garage). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 The end of the tories is accelerating if anything, surely there's a deal to be done with the anti Sunak tories and Labour to force a vote of no confidence - their only chance now is to change leader AND trigger an election, as soon as possible.
