As part of the Campaign against Climate Change, we work with UK trade unions at a national and grassroots level. We believe the labour movement is a crucial part of the fight to avoid catastrophic climate breakdown and achieve a just transformation.

Important thread here on the possibility of scrapping ECO. I would add that when ECO was cut in 2013, 10,000 people lost their jobs. That's more than 3 times as many than Scunthorpe steel works and a whopping 20 times more than Grangemouth oil refinery
I’m afraid I’ve heard enough to take this seriously - No.10 is thinking of abolishing ECO, the main source of funding for upgrading fuel poor homes.
There’s no way to sugar coat this: it would be a disaster.
And it would mean this government spending less on upgrading homes than the last one

To be clear, what is being proposed here is to axe the main mechanism for getting Britain’s homes insulated - which is by FAR the best way to reduce household energy bills in the long term 🤦♂️
…and also, just incidentally, an absolute non-negotiable requirement for meeting UK climate targets 😬🥵☠️

And as a direct result energy bills are now historically high and my son's new school has holes in the ceiling.
Osborne deserves a lot more condemnation, for not just doing austerity but doing it so cackhandedly:
1. Not borrowing to invest when borrowing costs were at essentially zero
2. Cutting spending by salami slicing every part of the public sector with no real analysis of where could take it
1. Not borrowing to invest when borrowing costs were at essentially zero

Late period Osborne: interest rates at zero and 50-80bn of headroom: and his priority was “don’t invest”.

The National Audit Office found the root causes of this home insulation disaster included poor workforce skills and subcontracting, and a system trying to do everything at arms length from government with little oversight.
