Many people in this country want to cut their bills, to go green, but cannot afford to upgrade without this help. Ask the super wealthy to pay more. We don’t need to take away important support for the many.
Heat pumps are hugely expensive, and the wait times to get one installed versus a boiler are lengthy. Without subsidies, the only people willing to get one will be proper environmental die-hards who have a lot of cash on their hands, which isn't a big population. Another Labour disaster.

Hundreds of thousands to lose heat pump subsidies in Reeves’s budget plan
Exclusive: chancellor plans to fund energy efficiency levies via warm homes plan as part of drive to lower energy bills
Hundreds of thousands of homeowners will lose their right to subsidies for eco-friendly heat pumps as a result of government plans to bring down energy bills at the budget.
Rachel Reeves, the chancellor, is planning to announce a series of measures to bring down energy bills amid concerns the country’s stubbornly high cost of living is driving millions of voters to Reform UK. Continue reading...

I have spoiled my ballot at every single PCC election because they are a giant waste of time and money. Returning accountability to councils and mayors is a big improvement. West Mercia has been a dumping ground for failed Tories as well.

This is from Worcestershire County Council's audit report. Yet they expect us to believe their savings numbers in their One Worcestershire unitary. They have zero credibility. It is time for new thinking and two unitaries to transform Worcestershire.

Labour are in hock to billionaires and big business.
"I'm really, really sorry you noticed," Nandy may have said. "This looked like a bribe, but it really wasn't one, even though it looked exactly like a bribe, and smelled like a bribe, it definitely wasn't a bribe. I'm so sorry I got caught, it won't happen again..." 😉

Just remember that Worcester Labour wants to spend £250m on not solving congestion in St John. We need investment in buses and active travel, not more roads. Free and faster buses would be a much better way of spending our money and help people with the cost of living.
We were told the interchange would cost €100 million and solve the congestion and tailbacks.
It cost €225 million, and it didn't.
The people who were 100% wrong about this – and blew 9 figures of public money on it – have a new suggestion.
More lanes.

Reform's leader of Worcestershire County Council thinks a day of democracy is too much like hard work. Perhaps she could spend some of the almost £55,000 a year we pay her on someone to look after her dogs. These meetings are in the calendar. If you don't want to do the job, resign.

Thank you for showing me round @Worcester Snoezelen - what a brilliant space it is, that we are lucky to have in Worcester. The expansion plans are very ambitious. Accessible play and support is so important - both in provision for all and dedicated provision.

The burning question I wanted to ask at PMQs today: why is the govt considering slashing funding to home insulation programmes as a short-term, short-sighted way to lower energy bills? Why not do the smart thing instead, and tax billionaires fairly?
