Good to see @dougparr.bsky.social from Greenpeace quoted. It’s clear that insulation gives people warmer homes and more disposable income to put back into the economy.
Cutting the insulation schemes that are one of the best ways to permanently reduce energy bills for low income families would be an eyewateringly daft & counterproductive way of seeking to reduce energy bills, as well as driving up emissions & leading to mass job cuts in the insulation sector 🙄
Cutting home insulation funding will imperil UK’s climate goals, Reeves told
Energy firms and charities urge chancellor to avoid short-term fix that could also harm low-income households

Honestly what is the point of a Labour government that won’t take a stand against mass revocation deportation of people with permanent settlement rights?
If you won’t stand against anything you stand for nothing.

Worth saying that despite asking for more than 12 hours we’ve had nothing back from Labour on this
A Conservative MP tipped as a future party leader has been condemned for saying large numbers of legally settled families must be deported, in order to ensure the UK is mostly “culturally coherent”.

Look at the yellow-sickness benefits- bar. It goes up under Tories and down under Labour. Investment in health saves money. Who’d have thought that!
