There's lots more in the blog, including why it's not as a simple as "non-commodity costs are all down to net zero" either.
Thanks to @mashley.bsky.social for doing a lot of the analysis behind this (which you'll hopefully see more of soon!)

Is gas still the reason energy bills are so high?
Despite rising non-commodity costs on energy bills, high gas prices remain the primary reason for expensive energy for most British households, making the switch to homegrown energy a top priority

Not quite sure I would say asking just under 8,000 people a mega poll... also we've got nearly 4 years to go. As much as I don't like labour policy on a lot of things right now things can change a lot (I can only hope)

Luckily I don't think anyone cares about what he or any conservative says on this. They seem to think that just saying the opposite of what they did in gov will win back votes. I'm surely also they are taking the last dregs of fossil fuel money they can get.

I just don't think he suits the current generation of cars. The margins are so tight. Also F1 is just terrible to watch now... Who wants to watch the same drs overtakes for 60 laps.
