This is so positive to see from @elpinchbeck.bsky.social and the CCC. Understanding, acknowledging & addressing the unavoidable distributional impacts on low income households properly, & from the start, will allow Govt to act faster & bolder. If not, you build hesitancy & caution into policy.

The politics isn’t my job, but the carbon budgets are. You’re quoting my advice to Parliament. That advice meets the UK’s 2035 of 81% emissions reduction in line with Paris agreement - the first country in the world to work out how to do so for 2035. Full pathways in spring when we publish advice.

The CCC made 10 recommendations to government at the last progress report. Today we highlighted that making electricity cheaper is an essential recommendation for 2035; we want households and businesses to benefit from electrification and for the private sector to invest.

(Although I think my headlined “struggle” sounds a bit much for a situation in which my kids ate extra biscuits in the nursery for 10 Mins; we did talk in the evidence session about how households struggling with costs stand to benefit from cheap electricity, and electric technologies)

Also good from @emmagatten.bsky.social in the Telegraph:
“ People will still have warm, comfortable homes, they will still turn their heating on as they do now,” Ms Pinchbeck told MPs on the energy security and net zero committee. “They’ll still drive cars.”
