There's a lot in this package of consultations. Some of it directly on fuel poverty. Some of it with broader implications on energy market, local authority enforcement etc. For now, just delighted to see it released into the wild & and the prospect of discussion, decision & action.

This is so positive to see from @elpinchbeck.bsky.social and the CCC. Understanding, acknowledging & addressing the unavoidable distributional impacts on low income households properly, & from the start, will allow Govt to act faster & bolder. If not, you build hesitancy & caution into policy.

Another uplifting conference. There isn't always a huge amount to cheer for those working on fuel poverty. But - leaving Liverpool with heaps more ambition, positivity & confidence. Huge thank you to the @nea-ukcharity.bsky.social team, to wonderful speakers and motivating delegates.

To Liverpool and the @nea-ukcharity.bsky.social annual #FuelPovertyConf. Storm wracked it may be, but it'll be enlightening, motivating and determined. Over 350 people and some phenomenal speakers. Always fabulous to be with hundreds of fuel poverty champions.
