New research shows millions of people are still living in cold, damp homes, five years into the energy bills crisis. People with existing health conditions are most exposed, with a quarter reporting cold, damp housing. #EndFuelPoverty #WarmHomesPlan #ColdDampHomes #EnergyCrisis [1/3]

Today’s Budget will bring a small reduction in bills, with the average annual energy bill expected to fall from £1,755 to around £1,665 from April 2026. #EndFuelPoverty #FuelPovertyAwarenessDay #Budget2025 [1/4]

"Most Reform UK voters don’t object to green policies, so who is its climate crisis denialism designed to serve?"

Reports suggest the Government is considering slashing the Warm Homes Plan by £6.4 billion, at the same time as looking at a £6 billion tax cut for oil and gas firms. #EndFuelPoverty #EnergyEfficiency #Budget2025 #WarmHomes [1/4]

Watching the whole interview, what struck me was how Kuenssberg wouldn’t look @zackpolanski.bsky.social in the eye. Strange.

If the Chancellor cuts the energy efficiency support budgets next week, it’s not just homes in fuel poverty that will suffer. Thousands of skilled green jobs will also be at risk. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

“Let me be really clear – every minute that’s not spent talking about and dealing with the cost of living is a minute wasted of the political work of this government” is actually really good advice from the Prime Minister. If only he'd listen to himself.

"The government needs to be clear on its messaging of heating and energy commitments, not just for homeowners but for engineers, installers, and the heating industry at large," Simon Francis, Coordinator of the End Fuel Poverty Coalition, tells LBC News.

🔥£125 billion in profits since 2020. Still-sky-high bills for millions. New EFPC analysis shows the energy industry has made over £125bn in UK profits during the crisis. [1/3]

Yet the Chancellor seems to think handing a £6bn tax cut to energy firms is actually a good idea. www.mirror.co.uk/money/energy...

This has to be the worst briefed / leaked / rumoured budget I can remember. An absolute masterclass in how not to do a Budget. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

While 12.1 million households struggle with bills, Ministers are considering a £6bn tax break for oil & gas – and cutting support for clean heating. We should be insulating homes, not energy firms' profits. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Reform UK Ltd gets 92% of its funding from climate change deniers and fossil fuel corporate interests, provoking negative reactions.

🚨 Reports suggest the Chancellor is preparing to divert funds from the flagship £13.2bn Warm Homes Plan in the Budget. This funding was meant to add to existing schemes not replace them. www.endfuelpoverty.org.uk/energy-effic...

For too long electricity prices are set by the cost of gas. “We will reform electricity markets further and stop treating electricity bills as cheque books.” @pippaheylings.bsky.social rightly highlights to #GAEvent that energy bills are too high.

Of all the gas estimated to have been in the North Sea basin, just 14% remains commercially viable according to official statistics. “We have exhausted so much of the gas from the North Sea.” @zackpolanski.bsky.social speaks to #GAEvent underlining a need to tackle inequality & high energy bills.

Insulation and ventilation, when done properly, are among the safest and most effective ways to bring down energy bills and keep people warm But sub-standard delivery and weak oversight by the last Government has turned what should have been a national success story into a cautionary tale. [1/4]

“We can’t stall on rewilding if we are to fulfil our potential.” Great piece in @scotnational.bsky.social and proud our Holyrood stunt helped keep nature restoration on the agenda. www.thenational.scot/politics/255...

💵 ENERGY BILLS & RENEWABLES How much are they going up by? Why are they going up? What are the long-term causes of high bills? A short 🧵 on why the answer isn't all blowing in the wind...

The heart rate of a @thehibees.bsky.social fan last night…

📉 North Sea gas is running out, and the UK will soon be almost entirely reliant on imports. Right now, just 14% of extractable gas remains, leaving us at the mercy of global energy markets, with prices that could rise sharply. [1/2]

🚨The UK will no longer produce enough gas to heat its own homes by 2027 Even new fields won't stop our growing dependence on imports The North Sea is running out of gas 🎦 Watch and share our report #EndFuelPoverty

🚨For 60 years, the North Sea powered the UK, but the gas is running out - fast Even if every new gas field is approved, UK production won’t meet our heating needs by 2027, and by 2050 94% of our gas will have to be imported. That’s not a policy choice, it’s geological reality [1/3]

So tired after the final days of effort… but what an amazing achievement. 13th in the World in the Men’s Open on Saturday. Still can’t believe it.

Dear DESNZ press officers, please don’t schedule two important consumer energy press releases to go out, one at 1555 for immediate release and one under embargo for 2230 tonight.

While today's changes offer some relief, many will still be stuck in cold, damp homes. The Govt must now: ✅ Fully fund the Warm Homes Plan ✅ Support all in fuel poverty ✅ Reform the energy market to cut bills for good #FuelPoverty #WarmHomes #WinterFuelPayments www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-...

After public and political pressure @ecourea.bsky.social is reporting that the Energy Security Secretary and Chancellor have struck a deal — ensuring that the £13.2bn Warm Homes Plan can be delivered. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
