“An 11th-hour policy shift away from heat pumps would devastate UK heating engineers and installers, with a budget cut to heat-pump subsidies having dire consequences for the industry,” - Aadil Qureshi, CEO of Heat Geek, the UK’s largest community of independent heating engineers, on Times Radio.

Congestion Charge changes were introduced today. Rising from £15 to £18 for standard vehicles, £13.50 for EV's & £9 for E-Vans from Jan 2. Campaigners say it doesn’t give enough support to small business and charities. Oliver Lord, Head of UK & Strategy at Clean Cities explains on LBC News.

The UK chose not to pay into a new climate fund at COP due to fears of political backlash before the next budget. Yet COP30 remains a crucial chance to protect nature, improve quality of life, secure our children’s future and rebuild consensus. Tom Rivett-Carnac, in Belém, Brazil on Times Radio.

“For every one unit of energy you put in, you get two units out.” Air conditioning, effectively heat pump technology, will be vital as extreme heat becomes more common. Climate advisers say 9 in 10 UK homes aren’t built for rising heat, and fewer than 5% have air conditioning. @eciu.net

UK energy bills largely shielded till June but risks remain “The UK has diverse gas supplies from the North Sea and Norway, so households are largely protected for now…if the disruption continues for months, it could push prices higher later in the year,” - Adam Bell, partner, energy at Stonehaven.

“North Sea production is declining at about 9% a year.” Lord Turner says the UK will remain a net gas importer for years, and that US LNG can be “pretty dirty” after Trump weakened methane rules, raising emissions, arguing the priority is cutting gas dependence while managing North Sea decline.

There is a ‘fire season’ now in the UK. Wildfire expert Dr Thomas Smith of LSE says record fires are changing how we manage the UK landscape on @lbc.co.uk

"ITS A PANTS CAP" "You should not be on the price cap if you can get off it." With the energy price cap going up in January as well as in April. Martin Lewis tells households "cheaper fixes are currently 10% less than the price cap with cheaper tariffs coming next week."

Plug-in solar could bring power to UK homes for £350-£800 “It’s a simple way for people without a rooftop to save on bills.” Already popular in Europe, these panels let renters generate solar power without major installation. Sonia Dunlop, @globalsolarcouncil.bsky.social @hugorifkind.bsky.social

That Reform is a nasty little racist party more intent on causing division than actually coming with any useful policies is hardly new, but this really takes the biscuit. Attempting to blackmail and threaten voters with some playground politics of performative cruelty is a new low even for them.

The healthcare crisis didn’t appear overnight. Letting subsidies lapse while prioritizing donor-funded projects shows how deeply upside-down our system has become. People need care, not political theater. @drhaydeebrown.bsky.social @sonyasloanmd.bsky.social @meidastouch.com

A former National Security Adviser just said the quiet part out loud: Trump is terrified of ending up with an Obama-style Iran deal after spending years attacking Obama for exactly that. Because politically, this is the trap.

Zambia got 84% of its HIV funding from the US — until PEPFAR was frozen in January 2025. Now 32 clinics are shut, 20,000 patients lost access, and modeling studies project 3.3 million new infections if cuts continue. Get the full story from every angle on Drooid.
