Consumers are owed ~£50m from top boiler makers

During another winter of high energy bills, it’s deeply concerning that 500k households have paid up to £120 (£144 incl VAT) more for a new boiler & are not being offered an easy way to get their money back

I met this amazing young man when I visited All Saints Foodbank. He’s doing a sponsored walk to raise awareness of everything that foodbanks do.

Nice chat with a resident today. I saw he had a Ukraine badge on so I said it means a lot as my wife was born in the Soviet Union and our Ukrainian neighbour is a good friend. He said I’m the first person in 2 years to mention his badge and took some leaflets to deliver for me 🙂

Americans intercepting Iran’s missile and drone attacks on Israel was the right thing and I’m glad it did.

It just shows how wrong and cruel American policy towards Ukraine is, that Ukraine doesn’t even have enough missiles for Patriots to protect its citizens alone

Exciting times….

I can’t stop thinking that a dozens-worth drone attack is an everyday reality for Ukraine — but nobody will give us enough weapons for safety, let alone help us intercept Russian drones/rockets together as allies.

Not saying it to blame anyone, it just feels so fucking lonely.

Loved seeing the Cherry Blossom trees walking around Cambridge ward in Southport today.

Pleased to see this Greenpeace UK campaign taking off. Seen 5 of these posters on one road! If they vote for me I won’t let them down on climate issues.

Another night of Russia firing terrorist missiles and drones at Ukraine. Two reminders from the 1930s:

First, if you look away, eventually it will cost more.

Second, if aggression pays off somewhere, it's an invitation to use it elsewhere.

Let’s finally learn from history.

We’re excited to formally launch our Visit a Heat Pump service today - visitaheatpump.com

Thank you to all the generous heat pump owners opening their doors 🙏🏻

At the Heat Pump Summit, Lord Callanan is candid about the political problems associated with lowering heat pump running costs - with gov concerns on backlash from those with vested interests if they reduced levies on electricity bills.

A new report shows that 2.9% of land in England that is not 'very good' or 'excellent' farm land, or protected, could be used for solar & windfarms to generate 13x more than currently. This excludes roof solar, which is still not mandatory on new builds!

Working for a lovely Muslim family this week and it was so nice to see all their family coming around to celebrate Eid. Eid Mubarak to all my Muslim friends.

Some innovative solutions from some local authorities in this article. Not only is it fair for people who don’t have driveways but more public charging points should increase tourism and boost the local economy. Especially for a seaside town like Southport bbc.com/news/articles/…

A very commendable statement. Sean has always had my respect as someone principled who knows his views and stands by them.

Delivered a lot of leaflets around Cambridge ward this weekend, such a picturesque part of Southport.
Change has to happen on Sefton Council.

The first person ever to run the entire length of Africa. Mission complete🫡

I’ve signed this petition to exclude telegraph poles from permitted development rights. We all want full fibre broadband but the job needs to be done properly with cables routed under the ground and not on telegraph poles against the wishes of residents. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/6479…

Amazing that the world’s oldest man lives in Southport! He sounds like such a positive great guy as well.

€1.50 a pint with this view in Fuerteventura. Definitely coming back.
