🗣️Despite intense lobbying from the oil and gas industry to have the Windfall Tax removed, the public backs keeping it, with 53% saying scrapping it now would be wrong and just 22% disagreeing. That support is a majority across every party and every part of the country.

Campaigners claim MP 'not doing enough' to help houses with botched insulation Lives are being put at risk by poor insulation according to campaigners who are demanding a meeting with Martin McCluskey MP.

Retrofit should bring down bills, not damage homes.

Victims of shoddy work have been left without heating. Their physical and mental health is shot.

So why won't McCluskey, the minister responsible, meet with us or hold a surgery open to all victims?

Retrofit should bring down bills and improve homes. Residents need to be able to count on these schemes, and deserve a bill saving guarantee.

Until the damage is fixed and schemes are improved, how can we trust contractors with our homes?

You're the Energy Consumers Minister, and your own constituents are some of the thousands affected.

Let's talk about the hundreds of victims who have been in touch with us and are still waiting for justice.

You extended ECO4. Will you use the rest of the money in the scheme to fix damaged homes?

A government scheme has damaged homes and left residents with mould and even without heating.

And you're the minister responsible for fixing homes.

Let's crunch the numbers:
🥶 Our energy bills are still £600 higher than 5 years ago

Retrofit should mean home improvements and bill savings. That should be guaranteed.

Instead, families are left with damaged homes. Most are still waiting for justice.

It's yet another scandal this government isn't fixing. When will you meet with the victims,

“It is shocking that the Government is planning to give the energy firms and contractors even more money for ECO4, to help cover up the widespread fraud and failures” - Jonathan Bean, Fuel Poverty Action

a graphic saying '63% say they have cut back on essentials because of the cost of living crisis', with some trollies illustrating the proportion.

Almost two thirds of people in the UK have cut back on essentials due to the cost of living. The crisis isn’t over — it’s getting worse.

Today we're launching the Cost of Living Action campaign, calling on the Government to end this crisis and ensure it never happens again.

Miliband pledges up to £1bn for community green energy schemes UK projects will allow local areas to control and profit from renewable power generation, says energy secretary

Big energy's profits & distribution costs drive up bills.

Small scale energy could cut bills by more directly connecting us to lower cost renewables.

Now government must ensure access is fairly distributed so we all benefit from cheap, locally generated energy.
