Leeds Bradford - General Thread

[White Heather]

At least the airport will no longer be represented by Alex I hate LBA Sobel! https://www.wharfedaleobserver.co.u...new-mp-boundary-shake-up-splits-constituency/

Dear God, Sobel will still be my MP as my part of Cookridge has been included in the Headingley ward, where if course GALBA are based.
As for Reeves, I hope she loses in Pudsey, even if her Tory opponent has also done zilch to support LBA.

Doesn't most of Yeadon and Guiseley leave the Pudsey constituency7

Are you sure? Where only the down the road and we are part of the new constituency which means I suspect this, not maybe in the next GE or one after, but probably will become a safe tory seat eventually.

Am I sure what?
My bit if Cookridge is in the Headingley Ward. We will be outvoted by the student population if Woodhouse, Hyde Park and Headingley. Sobel is very likely to win as much if his support already comes from that area.

It would appear some of Cookridge. It doesn't make sense there is a little indent for it to become Headingley west surrounded by revised Leeds North West. At least LNW get's rid of the clown.

Yes, my bit if Cookridge is the indent . It's everywhere South of Tinshill Road. I'm not happy about it at all. Cookridge as a community is carved in two. Cookridge in the same ward as Woodhouse and Hyde Park is nuts. Loads if objections but it's happening anyway.

The whole review is crackers! I live in East Leeds in the Harewood Ward which is in the Elmet and Rothwell constituency. This is now in the Wetherby and Easingwold constituency - we have great affinity with the area near Thirsk! I don’t see how this is local representation.
I’ve just realised the logic behind this - my sister lives in Easingwold and they must have decided we both should have the same MP to represent us!

Rothwell is in Leeds, but has been moved into the Wakefield constituency, so they vote for Leeds Councillors but Wakefield MPs

Can’t make it up can you

For all the good any of them do they may as well be representing Mars.

 

[gcoabc1]

This smacks of “ Rubber Buttons” instead of Rotten Boroughs episode of Blackadder.

It's certainly all a load of Baldricks

Just Stop Oil donor Dale Vince to launch "electric" airline... using non-electric planes (as it mentions only at the very bottom of the press release): https://www.ecotricity.co.uk/our-news/2023/ecojet-dale-vince-launches-an-aviation-revolution

And fly domestic routes !

 

[ls27]

If they think that using these aircraft will reduce emissions, then they sadly deluded. Hydrogen gas is made by electrolysis which uses large amounts of electricity and water. And how is the electricity made- could be 'fossil' fuels. ooops

 

[Finger66]

Clearly in for a shock then!!

 

[ls27]

That may end up bringing them down to earth

 

[LBA4EVER]

All these shocking jokes!

You better tell the likes of Airbus, NASA and Zeroavia that as they're currently working on hydrogen powered aircraft as well.

Hydrogen is a key part of decarbonising aviation. It's up to governments to ensure their grids provide enough clean electricity for their countries needs.
