This report is disingenuous and dangerously misleading

Astonishingly, it even suggests that adapting to 4C 'will not be costly' 😮

The reality is organised adaption to 4C is impossible

The world will 'adapt' to 4C via economic and societal collapse

"a quarter of the typical energy bill in 2024 was profit. That is equivalent to every household paying £416 a year so other people can grow rich."

In 1952 the Churchill government abolished ID cards, restoring personal liberties. Labour’s plans for mandatory digital ID, alongside restrictions on protest, threaten those same liberties.

Listen to the millions signing petitions in opposition, and scrap this Orwellian proposal!

Labour have lost it.

This self sabotage is directly responsible for letting reform get ahead in the polling, and will ultimately lead to a reform win.

For the sake of the people living in this country, Starmer has to go.

"point out that North Sea oil doesn’t cut UK energy bills, and suddenly you’re censored"

This dismal government refuses to hear the truth as it prepares the way to give the green light to new oil and gas fields

Despicable and complete madness

A quarter of the average UK energy bill last year was profit for the big energy companies.

Meanwhile, almost three million households in England suffer fuel poverty.

No one should be choosing between heating and eating while energy companies rake in billions.

UK energy efficiency sector in crisis: New NAO report finds a staggering 98% failure rate for external wall insulation installed since 2022 under ECO scheme.

It's a tragedy for the households suffering from poor installs and a massive setback for public confidence in the insulation industry.
