The new government’s first big policy announcement is removing VAT from electricity bills - from October onwards. Should save £40 - £45 on a typical annual bill and reduce the price ratio to about 3.4 (assuming bills don’t otherwise change dramatically in October) www.gov.uk/government/n...

It's hot! There's a climate crisis! Air to air heat pumps (aka air conditioning) can help with both problems. But what questions do you have about it? Is it comfortable? How much does it cost? My colleague Shaan Jindal has answered 14 of them here: www.nesta.org.uk/blog/air-to-...

Air-to-air heat pumps: common questions on air conditioning
Many people are thinking about smarter ways to keep our homes comfortable year-round. Air-to-air heat pumps can handle both summer cooling and winter heating.

I think where I’m at is 5 CBs across 3 roles: VDV - defensive LB (backed up by AR), left of a 3 in possession Senesi/Vuskovic - LCB, becoming CCB PVH/Danso - RCB, becoming right of a 3 Think Senesi profiles much more similarly to Vusko than to VDV
