Once a year, the @thetimes.com Rich List documents where wealth has accumulated. This year it makes for uncomfortable reading alongside a looming energy bill rise. As the combined wealth of Britain's 350 richest people has grown, the rest of the country faces a renewed cost of living crisis [1/3]

British Gas has finally been held to account for the forced prepayment meter scandal. Ofgem found the company knew about failings and still didn’t act. The regulator has said the firm must pay compensation and has been fined. But the story isn’t over... www.endfuelpoverty.org.uk/british-gas-...

🏠If the Government pays to upgrade your home you should end up with lower bills. That's not a big ask. But without a Warm Homes Guarantee, there's no binding commitment it will happen. 🛠️Too many households have been left with substandard work and cold homes by schemes that promised better. [1/2]

📝More than 40 charities and civil society organisations have written to the PM, Chancellor and Energy Secretary calling for urgent action to protect households from high energy costs before winter. 📈Bills are forecast to rise 18% in July. [1/2]

Ofgem is getting new powers to enforce consumer law and ban bonuses for rule-breaking energy bosses. Long overdue. But stronger regulation alone won’t pay anyone’s bill. Ministers must now go further. www.endfuelpoverty.org.uk/ofgem-set-to...

🌍This is our home. Yet millions of people around the world are trapped in energy poverty, paying the price for a broken global energy system. Clean energy can help cut bills, reduce poverty and protect our planet. 🗣️It’s time for leaders to #SeeTheBigPicture this Earth Day.

Ministers have announced a major clean energy package, including: ➡️ Boiler Upgrade Scheme grants rising to £9,000 for heating oil and LPG homes ➡️ £100m to upgrade social homes ➡️ £25m pilot for plugin solar ➡️ Windfall tax raised on electricity generators www.endfuelpoverty.org.uk/government-a...

Three million households on heating oil and LPG sit outside the energy price cap with no protection when global prices spike. An increased grant of £9,000 to help them switch to heat pumps is a step forward. www.endfuelpoverty.org.uk/heating-oil-...

The public backs extending windfall taxes to more energy companies. The Government has now raised the levy on electricity generators to incentivise them to lower costs. Will the energy firms pick the carrot or the stick? Read our reaction: www.endfuelpoverty.org.uk/government-r...

🧾The Trump Tax is real New polling from EFPC finds 76% of UK adults blame Trump for soaring energy bills, and 63% are calling the increases in their energy bills exactly what they are: a Trump Tax [1/2]

📈The investment firms profiting most from rising oil and gas prices are the same firms lobbying hardest against the policies that would redirect those revenues to struggling households. That's not a coincidence. It's how the system is designed. [1/3]

🗣️Despite intense lobbying from the oil and gas industry to have the Windfall Tax removed, the public backs keeping it, with 53% saying scrapping it now would be wrong and just 22% disagreeing. That support is a majority across every party and every part of the country. [1/2]

🗣️The last time global gas prices spiked at the outbreak of the invasion of Ukraine - household bills went through the roof regardless of domestic production. And now it’s happening again. [1/3]

History is repeating itself as soaring oil and gas prices leave households facing huge energy bills while the energy industry makes huge profits. 📝Sign the petition to demand higher taxes on companies profiteering from this crisis you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ra... #EndFuelPoverty
