A proposed reversal on the Future Homes Standard could change the outlook for heat pumps in England’s new-build market.

The regulations are due in March 2027 and would effectively rule out gas boilers in compliant new homes. Full story via link in bio.

Dave is a British Army veteran on a mission: to futureproof his home for his wife.

After discovering he had terminal cancer, Dave had solar panels installed at his home using a grant from Heat Essex.
The government is helping hundreds of homes in Essex receive energy saving improvements through the Warm Homes Local Grant Scheme.

Now, Dave says he feels safe in the knowledge that his wife will be looked after should the worst happen, with electricity, income and ‘hot water on tap’.

Is this the kind of mission you could get behind?

BREAKING: Energy bills set to rise by 25% next year.

And the truth is: we will continue to be hit by massive inflation shocks and higher bills until we get off fossil fuels.

In Episode 5 of SHOCKWAVE - the price of Putin’s war - we explore the energy crisis of 2022 and ask: why was the UK so badly affected?

Household energy bills in the UK are rising again, but it’s not bad news for everyone…

Many people are leaving the UK because the high cost of living makes it unaffordable, even for those on good salaries. The government faces heavy criticism from taxpayers for prioritising global agendas, tech billionaires, and foreign aid over the needs of ordinary citizens. Large corporations like Amazon and Starbucks profit significantly while paying minimal taxes, while new AI data centres place a heavy strain on local water resources, electricity grids, and the environment. Vital public services like the NHS face increasing privatisation, and data sharing with private tech firms raising serious surveillance and privacy concerns. Instead of protecting the public or nationalising utilities like water, political leaders are seen as isolated in a political bubble, ignoring calls for a wealth tax, and abandoning traditional working-class values.In response to these concerns and fears of future financial control through digital currencies, there is a growing push for a political/economic revolt and it’s now going into action This includes a movement to reclaim independence by boycotting multinational chains, supporting independent local businesses, moving savings, etc out of High Street retail banks and building societies, growing food at home, and rejecting fast fashion to force a political shift toward leaders who serve the public interest. We’re tired and we’re angry at you. You’ve done nothing to help us so far but just token gestures to keep us happy. We would welcome a meeting with one of the cabinet ministers to explain exactly what we’re doing to reverse the wrongdoing of consecutive governments including yours.

Here’s what our comment section had to say to Andy Burnham. The message is clear: people want climate action! 🌍

@Andy.Burnham said he’d consider new oil and gas projects in the North Sea because ‘people are struggling’. But drilling for oil won’t bring down energy bills.

This is because oil will be sold internationally, so our energy prices will continue to be affected by global events. UK households won’t be protected from price shocks.

There are limited gas resources in the North Sea. Even if no gas from #Rosebank was exported, the UK would still need to rely on importing gas.

And - in the long run - speeding up the climate crisis will make our living costs much, much higher.

Our Prime Minister is pitting people against planet. But we can’t damage one in service of the other. Our planet is burning and our lives are at risk. We need long-term solutions.

We need a just transition to a greener economy, investments in renewable energy, and an end to new oil and gas drilling in the North Sea. And we need the richest polluters to pay for it.

📹 CEO of British Gas says they’re “supporting customers”

Oh, and he also admitted he “can’t justify his salary”… cute.

This video is from last year on BBC News. Meanwhile, our electricity bill has gone up 152% from Oct to Feb, and we’re currently freezing our lashes off 🥶. To put it in perspective, our electricity alone costs the same as me doing 17 lash extensions appointments!

Despite regularly contacting British Gas, I’m still waiting for the “customer support” from this video… and I’m locked into a contract. Fabulous, right?

Sadly, this means we’ll be increasing our prices from 1st March. But don’t panic—I’ll be offering some special offers soon (and possibly selling my soul if anyone’s interested).

Thanks for your continued love and support! You’re the real MVPs ❤️

The UK was built for a climate that no longer exists.

We're in our third heatwave of the year, with temperatures hitting 34–35°C this weekend. Almost 3,000 people died from heat in England in 2022 and without action, that could reach 10,000 a year by 2050. The poorest households are three times more likely to live in homes that overheat.

So we've joined @greenallianceuk , @greenpeaceuk UK, the @endfuelpoverty and others to write to five Secretaries of State demanding action now - not in 2028, when the next national adaptation plan is due. We're calling for a national cooling strategy, legal protection for workers in extreme heat, and a network of cool spaces for the people most at risk.

1.6 million people showed up for Great Big Green Week last month. Now our politicians need to match that energy. Link in bio to read the letter - and share to spread the word.
