Hi @mattwestern.bsky.social more UK oil and gas won’t cut bills or deliver energy security. It protects the profits of fossil fuel giants. If you’re serious about lowering bills and energy independence, will you back calls to #StopRosebank and Cambo? www.zerohour.uk/rosebank

So to recap: - Energy prices have been rising for 25 years, long before net zero - Early renewables did push up costs, but the current government has begun removing those costs - Network costs are rising, but are still dwarfed by wholesale - Renewables are making electricity cheaper in this crisis

None of this is to deny that there are costs and challenges associated with net zero - there are, and I spend my working day trying to tackle them. But the idea that net zero is the biggest problem facing the UK economy, or the main reason energy bills are high, just does not stand up to scrutiny.

Remember this the next time you complain that Starmer isn’t being a given a fair run by the press. Instead of regulating the media, which only he has the power to do, he drinks Murdochs champagne. This is one of many reasons why I’m backing Andy Burnham.

Quick update for US media: the story is not about Maduro or what’s going on in Venezuela. It’s about the massive rupture in US history where the country now stands for invading and occupying any country it likes. Trump in his press conference made it very clear this is a new age. Did you miss that?
