Juggling With Eggs<p>‘The most left-wing MP in the region [East Anglia] is the <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Green" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Green</span></a> party’s co-leader, Adrian Ramsay (Waveney Valley). He is the party’s sole MP in the region and takes that lead narrowly from Clive Lewis.’</p><p>Not at all suprised that Adrian Ramsey and Clive Lewis are the most leftwing politicians in our region. Alice MacDonald for <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Norwich" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Norwich</span></a> North comes in at number 5. </p><p>But can they inspire the kind of change in their constituencies that make their neighbours say ‘we want some of that’?

Juggling With Eggs<p>I was persuaded by a local activist to watch this Channel 5 documentary with Alexis Conran…Heat Pumps: Are they worth it?

Yes, they would be cheaper to run if <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Labour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Labour</span></a> taxed electricity less than gas.
