Ofgem's current plans for price protections do not tackle unregulated energy costs facing heat networks (which get passed to customers) and leave heat network consumers without the same level of protection enjoyed by gas and electricity customers.
NEWS: Ofgem’s fair pricing plans still fall short for heat network customers
“Ofgem’s proposals around price regulation do not yet deliver the level of fairness or price protection that heat network customers deserve."

With energy bills still far too high and millions living in cold, damp homes, the UK urgently needs a plan that tackles the climate crisis and the cost of living crisis together

The Government said it’d cost £99bn to publicly own our water.
But this drew on calculations by — drumroll — water company lobbyists. The true cost is closer to zero.
Here’s why. 🧵

This is crazy and horrendous.
This really is not getting the attention it should. The Tories' latest proposal is to exclude *any household that includes any foreign national from any benefit*.
And when asked about it, they keep citing small boat crossings - a minute fraction of migration - to justify it. ~AA
