New: UK electricity bills must be fairer, not just lower. Households already face big differences in what they pay 👉by region, payment type & housing quality. With new reforms coming, low-income homes could be hit hardest unless protections are introduced. @samfankhauser.bsky.social

The Tony Blair Institute has now issued a statement (pic) saying the UK govt is "already pursuing" the solutions it highlights – CCS, new nuclear, etc – and that "we support the govt's 2050 net-zero targets" The wildly inaccurate media coverage will now be corrected, right? 6/6

Labour’s first budget is promoting UK industry as much as net zero. It’s a bold bet. Joint commentary with Anupama Sen in @uk.theconversation.com theconversation.com/labour-has-b...

Labour has bet big on green industrial policy. But there may be there cheaper ways to net zero
Big industrial projects are needed. But what about roof insulation, heat pumps and other crucial but mundane investments?
