We could have declared "100% zerocarbon" this morning when renewables+nuclear were generating 100% of UK consumption. As usual this drove our price down, so exports up, and we had to run gas just to power the exports. NESO set hard target that ZCO has to include exports as well as UK demand.

This is appalling.

This is a really good explainer why we're seeing the presumed negative correlation between bonds and equities dissappear. Very much reminiscient of the LDI crisis- on.ft.com/3YkfR0k via @FT

Been away with the fairies this afternoon which makes a pleasant change from stock market crashes. Also nice to see that Cicely Mary Barker supported the suffragettes at the tender age of 12.

Good morning from the TUC Pensions Conference where @torstenbell.bsky.social kicks off his talk highlighting the need for bigger and better pensions for better investment outcomes

We need fewer bigger and better pension funds which will be able to invest in a larger range of assets. Lots for DC to learn from the LGPS on private markets @torstenbell.bsky.social says

When we came into office, there were applications for large solar farms that had been sitting on minister's desks for 3 years, we approved them. Tories also haven't built reservoirs for years, Labour approved 6 since coming into office @torstenbell.bsky.social says.

The urgency to redefine what we value is growing. Financial metrics alone are struggling to deliver the prosperity they once did. Complex global issues such as climate change, nature depletion and social inequalities present systemic risks to economies. www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

I've written my first op-ed www.room151.co.uk/local-govern...

I'm finding it hard to even think about climate change when this is going on. 200 children killed, seven girls in Gaza had limbs amputated without anaesthesia. Unbelievable cruelty This is what Israel will be remembered for.

I’ll say it slowly for those still clinging to the fossil fuel rollercoaster: Clean energy is the only way to lower bills- for good 📉
