as if the concept of UPFs wasn’t questionable enough, this most Guardian of articles beggars belief in its tone-deafness www.theguardian.com/wellness/202...
The @nestauk.bsky.social proposals for cutting energy bills, including abolishing the gas standing charge, are mentioned on the front page of today’s Sunday Telegraph and are in @politico.com’s Sunday Crunch - will be interesting to see what Burnham does now and who will head up HMT and DESNZ
Top story on the Guardian courtesy of @acjsissons.bsky.social and @mashley.bsky.social’s work on measures to lower the cost of electricity being considered by Burnham’s team - details here www.nesta.org.uk/feature/ener...

my queen wormadam got snubbed again - her and squirtle - but i’ll settle for my other faves
also I once, many years ago, worked with Miquita on a documentary about debt and she was a queen
can see that one of my all-time TV heroes Miquita Oliver - has referenced being caught in the Boxing Day tsunami in Thailand on her podcast and have to flag that my friend @mrnicklevine.bsky.social broke this story in one of the most incredible interviews ever in 2018 www.vice.com/en/article/m...

The government's Warm Homes Plan is finally out and @nestauk.bsky.social has done some speedy analysis on what it means for consumers - finding that a typical household that invests in green home upgrades could save around £1,000 on its energy bill www.nesta.org.uk/press-releas...
can’t believe more hasn’t been done to mark the 10 year anniversary of “David’s dead” 🙏🏻
AI doing an amazing job here inventing “LGBTQ+” partner of lesbian the main character from Pluribus, “Cyrus”, seemingly because of something to do with a completely unrelated Hunger Games character?

Good to have a Budget that should reduce the 'spark gap' between gas and electricity prices and lower electricity bills - @nestauk.bsky.social's @madgabes.bsky.social comments on the Budget's changes here www.nesta.org.uk/press-releas...
Scottish Gov published its draft Heat in Buildings Bill today and confirmed it won't be introduced in this Parliament. @nestauk.bsky.social Scotland's Robin Parker responded saying legislation is needed "sooner rather than later" and needs to be enhanced to boost heat pump uptake.
ahh yes, was it jonathan ross and russell brand doing a funny voice again? 😭 unbelievable media relations here
should we see air to air heat pumps as the guilt-free way to get air con in summer while reducing carbon emissions overall? @nestauk.bsky.social’s @acjsissons.bsky.social gets into it in today’s Guardian www.theguardian.com/environment/...
