This has to be one of the most short sighted and idiotic measures in the whole Budget. The equivalence of robbing Peter, to pay Paul, to destroy the planet. Absolutely pointless penny pinching.
Responding to Budget announcement that ECO scheme will be cut, while legacy costs moved into general taxation, @jessralston.bsky.social, @eciu.net said:
"Cutting the only long-standing, flagship insulation scheme means uncertainty for 20,000 jobs in the industry."

This is for a simple reason: most people dislike Reform and know that the Lib Dems represent everybody in society, not just one group.

A pleasure to attend the National Emergency Briefing this morning. I agree with Chris Packham Politicians need to take responsibility and provide hope. I am always reminded that every disaster film starts with a politician ignoring the warnings of a scientist.

He is the Prime Minister and a party leader. Why isn't he launching a national investigation himself?
