Hugely concerning that govt is considering slashing funding for desperately needed home insulation to cut bills in the short term. It’s vital to protect the Warm Homes Plan for long term investment to fix poor housing. Why not use a wealth tax to cut energy bills instead, Rachel?

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 🤦♂️

Be careful if building a bonfire this Halloween and Bonfire Night. Hedgehogs love to hibernate in piles of sticks and branches – so build a bonfire on the same day you plan to burn it, and check it carefully for hiding wildlife.
