Net-zero is obviously fantastic for the environment, but there are no guarantees that it will impact our energy bills. In order for us to see a reduction in our energy prices at home, the GOV.UK and Ofgem need to decouple the gas and electricity prices by removing the

If any of you (or people you know) ever owned a diesel car that was made between 2008 and 2020, there are a few class action claims over 'Dieselgate' going on, the first big trial is in October this year, so you might want to jump on one. Please use the links in this article to

📉 North Sea gas is running out, and the UK will soon be almost entirely reliant on imports. Right now, just 14% of extractable gas remains, leaving us at the mercy of global energy markets, with prices that could rise sharply. That’s why we urgently need a comprehensive Warm

Donald Trump has taken aim at wind power yet again. But the real price of his fossil fuel agenda is higher energy bills and a damaged planet. What we truly need is clear: ✅ Clean, affordable energy — Renewables like wind and solar already deliver energy cheaper than fossil

While gas giants rack up another year of huge UK profits, millions of families are still living in cold homes, juggling rising bills, and falling deeper into energy debt. Why? Because our energy system still allows companies to profit even when people can’t afford the basics.

Reports suggest the Government is considering slashing the Warm Homes Plan by £6.4 billion, at the same time as looking at a £6 billion tax cut for oil and gas firms. Cutting the UK’s biggest energy-efficiency programme would be a disastrous step backwards. It would mean colder

Today’s Budget will bring a small reduction in bills, with the average annual energy bill expected to fall from £1,755 to around £1,665 from April 2026. But this still leaves bills hundreds of pounds above winter 2020/21 and £97 higher than at the General Election, meaning many
