If GB News were a normal commercial venture, like Talk TV, it would have been binned long ago. Since September 2020, it has spewed out hateful far-right propaganda, paying high salaries to people such as Nigel Farage. Ofcom has abjectly failed to address this threat to democracy.

Months after the govt announced they were looking into decoupling the price of electricity from gas, we still have no further details or timelines on these plans - all while families across the UK face down surging energy bills. I've written to the SoS for Energy Security and Net Zero for answers.
I am writing to you regarding the urgent need to address the high and inflated cost of electricity, 
particularly in light of this week’s announcement that, from October, households already 
struggling with the cost of living will face the highest energy costs in three years. 
As you are aware, billpayers across the country remain at the mercy of volatile global fossil fuel 
markets due to the UK’s marginal pricing system. Under this system gas-fired power stations set 
the wholesale price of electricity the majority of the time, even though cheaper renewables 
generate a significant and growing share of our energy. 
This flawed system has repeatedly resulted in huge spikes to household energy bills and cost the 
UK economy billions. Since 2021, £90 billion extra has been spent on gas, with £40 billion in 
public money used to cushion soaring household bills (Greenpeace, 2025). 
Considering this, the government’s announcement earlier this year that it would look into breaking 
the link between gas prices and electricity prices marked a welcome acknowledgment that this 
system is broken and needs to change.  
However, months have now passed seemingly without any published updates, detailed plans, or 
clear timelines on how exactly this is being delivered, let alone when billpayers will feel the 
benefits. While the public waits for action, volatile global gas prices are once again pushing bills 
up just in time for winter.  
I also have concerns that the model of decoupling announced, which relies on electricity 
generators voluntarily leaving the market, will not properly break the link and deliver substantially 
lower bills. By pursuing a more ambitious model of market decoupling, such as the approach set 
out in Greenpeace’s Power Shift proposal or Common Wealth’s fixed price model proposals, the 
government would cut average bills by hundreds of pounds, while simultaneously taking real 
control over our energy system and accelerating the transition to clean, affo…plans, timelines, and progress to implement the decoupling policy, and whether you are 
considering adopting a more thorough model of price decoupling.  
I look forward to hearing your response and to seeing swift, decisive action on this critical issue.
