Workers and communities deserve a credible plan for what comes next: investment in warmer homes, renewable power, market reforms and the grid connections needed to bring it to households.

The North Sea is declining whatever happens to these projects. Over 90% of commercially viable oil and gas has already been extracted. The longer we rely on gas to heat our homes, the more we will depend on imports.

Households need affordable energy. North Sea workers need a secure future. Jackdaw and Rosebank cannot provide a lasting answer to either challenge. The oil and gas from these fields would be sold at international market prices, leaving households exposed to the same volatile fossil fuel markets.

Given that energy giants have made over £125 billion from their UK operations since the energy bills crisis began, scrutiny of the industry, practical advice and a platform for people struggling with their bills is essential.

Axing You and Yours means BBC bosses are cutting off another strong voice for energy customers across the UK. From forced prepayment meters and the Radio Teleswitch switch-off to Winter Fuel Payments and energy scams, You and Yours has shone a light on energy issues affecting millions of people.

A referral route through healthcare professionals, energy advisers and social workers could help support reach those who need it most. In the upcoming budget the Chancellor must protect clean heating support and back the Warm Homes Plan in full. [2/2]

Households need a route away from volatile gas prices. Cutting support for heat pumps will only make that harder. The answer is to target the Boiler Upgrade Scheme better, to help households who can’t afford the upfront costs, including those in rural areas, to get off the gas grid. [1/2]

But also check the exit fees before committing. Prices could fall in April or July 2027, and a low exit fee could make it easier to switch again if a cheaper deal becomes available. Check whether the fee applies separately to gas and electricity, and weigh it against any potential savings. [4/4]

What should I look for? If you’re considering fixing, compare the full deal using your own energy usage, including electricity rates and standing charges. Deals can change quickly, so time may be running out to secure a competitive rate. [3/4]

Concerned about gas reaching 10p per kWh? Uswitch’s data shows 46 fixed dual-fuel deals with gas rates below that level in every region. But a lower gas rate alone doesn’t guarantee a cheaper overall bill. [2/4]

Are fixed deals worth it? Only a handful of fixed energy deals remain below the current price cap. According to @UswitchUK data, six fixed deals beat the current cap, while 39 come in below forecasts for January. [1/4]

A £100 top-up for some households won't be enough. At the very least, the Chancellor must back a referral route for those who miss out on WHD at the moment. Ministers should also plan for an emergency heat tariff if gas prices hit the level forecast as well as implementing long term solutions.

Raiding the Warm Homes Plan budget would break a manifesto promise. When we last did polling on this issue, 48% of Labour voters said the pledge to upgrade cold homes was a factor in their vote. Cutting the Plan could lead to higher bills for longer and voters will see it as a betrayal.
