I would desperately like to see UK government decouple the price of electricity from gas. We have just about the most expensive consumer energy prices in the world…but lazy journalism won’t get us there.
This piece is a recycled press release from a think tank…admittedly not a rightwing one, but it’s not based on the kind of research you might find in a journal.

In the same way, Labour have bungled the issue of #fuelpoverty
The #WinterFuelAllowance was problematic, but shouldn't have been cut without a package of measures to address fuel poverty, such as insulating homes, supporting low cost heating and addressing the benefits crisis
I expect we will see a rise in deaths this winter as a result. Our hospitals are already warning they are seeing massive rises in flu which is caused by fuel poverty

UK Government urged to reform energy markets and reverse cuts
#Scotland's social justice secretary has urged the UK Government to reverse the cut to the winter fuel payment, which she said has had “devastating consequences” north of the border.
Shirley-Anne Somerville said reform of the #UK #energy markets is needed and urged Westminster to take action to address the root causes of fuel poverty and volatile energy prices.

Tomintoul: Government-funded eco village plagued with heating problems leaves families in fuel poverty | STV News
Shame about the teething problems which I hope get resolved but the houses are innovative in their own way as buildings in character with the older surroundings and people weren't allowed to buy them as second homes. Badly needed modern housing in rural Scotland.

Because #legality is not #morality, in the #UK we have #juries which "allow ordinary people to decide what is right and fair"
Enshrined in law for centuries is the absolute right of juries to acquit a defendant according to their #conscience
Imagine a country that threatens people with imprisonment for simply reminding #jurors of their #rights?
Imagine a country that imprisons #defendants because they say #ClimateChange or #FuelPoverty in their defense?
That country is the #UK (although I expect this does not happen in Scotland!)

#r4today The complacency & sheer indifference of #AndrewBowieMP is shocking. #CitizensAdvice reports 17% increase in #fuelpoverty contacts, a stain on UK society.

Here's someone who doesn't need to worry about the #costoflivingcrisis:
The CEO of #Centrica, who own #BritishGas has just been paid £4.5mn for a year's work.... work, which you will recall has involved plunging a large part of the country into #fuelpoverty.
The vast majority of #shareholders were happy with his pay deal, demonstrating, that the world of #financialservices operates at one remove from the rest of the country.

Over 7m people in UK are currently in #fuelpoverty; more that 10% of income, excluding housing costs is spent on #energy!
What is #JeremyHunt going to do: shift support available to raise people's bills this spring....
So in the next couple of weeks we are either going to see a U-Turn, or we're going to see an extended programme of distraction;
perhaps #RishiSunakPM is expecting the DUP to cause such difficulties about the #WindsorAgreement that Hunt's budget will be on the inside pages?

Who is most affected by #FuelPoverty in the UK? What does this mean in practice, and what can #Policymakers do to mitigate the immediate effects while also planning to build future resilience? The Fuel Poverty Evidence Network is one of the largest #research pools of expertise on the issue globally. Take a look at this #PolicyBrief they prepared for Policy Leeds: https://www.leeds.ac.uk/policy-leeds/doc/fuel-poverty-cost-living-crisis
