Network costs are rising as the grid expands, but analysis shows gas remains the single biggest driver of high bills, not green policies, as some politicians on the right claim.

Peter Mandelson accompanied Keir Starmer to Palantir's HQ while his lobbying firm had Palantir as a client.

Since then? Palantir has landed £720m+ in UK government contracts.
