Jeremy Hunt says he won’t offer subsidies to green industries to compete with US and EU
This is like announcing we will not be part of the global economy of the future
Before Brexit our sustainable future would have been supported
Now we are doomed to a poor and dirty future

Currently 43% of homes.

RT @_CJR_: This is unacceptable Wytch farm has been an accident waiting to happen for years. BP left due to ageing equipment, Perenco came to scrape the barrel. We drew attention to this in 2019 during our campaign against oil exploration in the Colter prospect (Jack up rig 2019)

'I told you so' doesn't begin to cover the fury I feel about this
As MEP for Dorset I was astonished that the oil industry was being encouraged in such a beautiful county
We need to move urgently to leave filthy fossil fuels behind

UK is Europe’s most gas addicted country
Heat pumps installed:
🇫🇷 3.1m
🇳🇴 1.3m
🇬🇧 280k
If UK had installed as many heat pumps as Estonia, domestic gas prices would be 34% lower than last year
Gas imports 19% lower
💚 Time for a retrofit revolution!

Bank of England governor first tells workers they shouldn’t ask for pay rises to match inflation
Now tells busineses not to raise prices to match inflation
Isn’t it time he focused his attention on profits?
And learned a bit more about how small businesses work.

Completely disingenuous response from Hunt on @BBCr4today
Using the NHS workforce crisis caused by Tory spending cuts as a cover for a tax break for those with large pensions is shameful
That money should be used to fund a fair public-sector pay deal and end the strikes
