Insulate every home in Britain by 2035 as the single biggest climate and poverty measure
The UK has some of the least energy-efficient housing stock in western Europe. Around 19 million homes have an EPC rating below C. These homes leak heat, cost more to run, and push people into fuel poverty. Improving them is simultaneously
Bring water, rail, and energy into democratic public ownership
Privatisation was sold to us as a way to improve services through competition. Forty years on, we can assess whether that promise was kept. Water companies have accumulated £72 billion in debt while paying out £78 billion in dividends. Trai
Energy companies shouldnt make record profits while people cant heat their homes
British Gas made 750 million in profit in the first half of 2023. In that same period millions of people were choosing between heating and eating. If you cant see the problem with that sentence I dont know what to tell you. This isnt com
Community energy cooperatives with guaranteed grid access and fair export tariffs
Germany has over 800 energy cooperatives. Local communities own solar panels, wind turbines, and battery storage. The profits stay local. Energy bills are lower. And public support for renewables is far higher than in countries where turbin
All new wind turbines must be invisible and silent and preferably in France
We are absolutely pro-renewable energy. Climate change is the defining challenge of our generation and we take it very seriously. We have a heat pump and everything. That said, the proposal for a wind farm on the ridge above Little Snoring
Enough is enough. Our own people come first.
I was serving a customer the other day in the shop. Nice bloke, worked all his life as a plasterer. Said he was struggling to get by, worried about his kids. Then he mentioned how many people were on the housing list in Watford. Makes you w
Enough with the solar panel subsidies, let's just get rid of them already!
I was chatting with my mate Dave the other week, he runs a small plumbing business. He’s been absolutely hammered by rising energy costs, like most small businesses. But he was also complaining about how he sees these fancy houses with rows
Enough with the Net Zero Madness, Let's Get Real About Energy
I’m sick to death of hearing about Net Zero targets that seem to ignore basic physics and economics. We're meant to just wave a magic wand and have this perfect green energy system overnight, while people freeze and industries collapse. It’
Full backing for solar farms — with some very reasonable conditions
The Nimby Liberation Front is fully committed to net zero and believes solar farms are an essential part of the energy transition. We support them wholeheartedly, subject to the following very reasonable conditions: — Not visible from a li
The Green party's 'unrealistic' ideas are the only realistic response to reality
I hear this criticism often, usually from people who consider themselves pragmatic: the Greens have nice ideas but they are not realistic. I understand the instinct. Some Green proposals do sound ambitious. A four-day working week. Universa
Enough with the Net Zero nonsense, let's get real about affordable energy!
I’m utterly fed up with hearing about ambitious Net Zero targets while my energy bills go through the roof. It feels like every politician wants to virtue signal with grand climate plans, but nobody’s thinking about how ordinary people are
Building better: quality homes and services for all
It’s clear people are struggling with housing and getting access to decent public services. I hear it all the time, particularly from younger families who can’t find anywhere affordable to live in Edinburgh or elsewhere. We need to ask ours
Why are we paying energy companies a fortune when my mum's heating is off again?
So, how much profit did the energy giants make last year while people like me are choosing between heating and eating? It’s honestly a joke. They get bailed out, we get told to wear jumpers. This new policy is simple: cap their profits at a
Scrap Subsidies for Fossil Fuels Already
I'm proposing we immediately end all government subsidies for fossil fuel companies, it's ridiculous we're still funding them when we know they're destroying the planet. We're basically paying them to contribute to climate change, which is
Pragmatic Energy: Reliable Power, Realistic Investment
I understand the concern about energy bills. As a school governor, I see how rising costs impact everything from classroom heating to the PTA's budget. We need a plan that ensures our homes and businesses have secure, affordable power, but
Enough with the green fantasies, let's get cheap power for homes and businesses NOW.
We need a new national energy policy focused on reliable, affordable power and frankly, that means more gas and nuclear and less of the expensive green stuff for now. My clients are terrified about their heating bills this winter, and mine
Energy First: Powering Britain Without the Green Guilt Trip
The obsession with Net Zero targets is frankly ludicrous when you look at the cost to ordinary families. My wife Sarah's always worried about the heating bills come winter, and it’s not just her. Businesses are struggling too, caught betwee
Scrap the Green Levy for Low Income Homes
I think we should scrap the green levy on energy bills for low income households, it's just not fair that people who are already struggling to pay their bills are being forced to subsidise renewable energy projects. The levy is supposed t
Real Energy Solutions: Powering Wales Affordably and Sustainably
It’s understandable people are worried about energy bills. Of course, we need affordable power. But the idea that we can just keep burning gas indefinitely is not a solution, it’s kicking the can down the road for our kids to deal with. We’
Our Towns First. Jobs and Homes for Everyone Who Built This Country.
It's all well and good talking about who's struggling, but let's be honest, the people who've spent their lives working and paying into the system are the ones getting a raw deal. You see it everywhere, the high street dying, factories shut
