  Ed Miliband has hiked the Carbon Tax by 70% this year, pushing up your energy bills. Tonight, MPs can vote to axe the Carbon Tax and back our plan to cut electricity bills by 20% INSTANTLY. If Labour truly cared about cutting bills, they’d back it. https://x.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/1988520791164453304/video/1 [Source]

  The result of a supply crushing tax (NICs) and completely mad overregulation (Employments Rights Bill). Also about to happen to housing (Soil Tax and Renters Bills). And energy (Carbon Tax/AR7) Fewer jobs, fewer homes, higher bills. Sad and predictable. https://twitter.com/bbcbreaking/status/1988147307439624632 [Source]

  Almost all businesses in the country will face higher bills to pay for this policy. Our Cheap Power Plan would cut electricity bills by 20% for EVERYONE. Axe the Carbon Tax, scrap old wind subsidies that get 3x the price of electricity. Make electricity cheap. https://twitter.com/skinnock/status/1984235477260746803 [Source]

  ????????NEW: Ed Miliband has just quietly increased the Boiler Tax - pushing up the price of gas boilers to force people into buying heat pumps. As I warned last year, Ed now has open-ended powers to make gas boilers increasingly unaffordable in the name of Net Zero. The targets and fines will only get more punitive in the years ahead, piling on more pressure when families can least afford it. Ed has slipped this out on a Friday afternoon because he is hoping that no one will notice. We have [Source]

  Great thread. The Carbon Tax is making our electricity from gas, wind, solar and nuclear artificially expensive. Thanks to Miliband, it’s gone up by 70% this year. That kills growth, living standards and electrification. Our Cheap Power Plan would axe the Carbon Tax and cut everyone’s electricity bills by 20% instantly. [Source]

  I’ve got one! Would axing the Carbon Tax on electricity generation lower the cost we pay for gas, wind, solar and nuclear and would that benefit consumers? https://twitter.com/martinslewis/status/1982732045290774647 [Source]

  Step three. Repeal the Climate Change Act. The Act forces Ministers to make decisions that make people poorer and Britain weaker. The Boiler Tax. Drax. Expensive electricity. All have their roots in the rigid targets in the Act. We will repeal it and put cheap energy first. [Source]

  That pushes up the cost of gas, but also the cost of almost everything else too - wind, solar, and nuclear. And Ed has increased the Carbon Tax by 70% since the start of the year thanks to Labour’s EU deal. We will axe it. https://x.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/1982013559941873922/photo/1 [Source]

  This is our Cheap Power Plan. Step one - Axe the Carbon Tax on electricity generation. When Ed Miliband tells you gas is the problem, what he doesn’t tell you is that about a third of what you pay for electricity is a Carbon Tax the government CHOOSES to impose. https://x.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/1982013550257111186/photo/1 [Source]

  @Ed_Miliband Even if wholesale prices go to zero, bills are going up because of your plans. If you really wanted to put consumers first you would back my Cheap Power Plan, axe the Carbon Tax and cut everyone’s electricity bills by 20% tomorrow. Why don’t you? https://twitter.com/clairecoutinho/status/1979541981643800955 [Source]

  Glad to see the Tony Blair Institute now saying what I’ve been saying for months. - Energy is prosperity and nothing is more important to growth than cutting energy costs. - ⁠Axe the Carbon Tax to cut bills instantly. - ⁠Ed’s renewables auction will lock us into higher prices for two decades. - ⁠The NESO report that ‘proved’ Ed’s plans cut bills was based on ridiculous assumptions to make the evidence fit the policy. - ⁠If you want to electrify, you need to MAKE ELECTRICIT [Source]

  Excellent research by @nj_timothy showing the effect of the Carbon Tax on British industry. Ed Miliband has increased the Carbon Tax by 70% since the start of the year - pushing up your energy bills and crushing business. We will Axe the Tax to cut your bills instantly. https://x.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/1980337437206519856/photo/1 [Source]

  This week energy bosses admitted that Ed Miliband’s energy policy will see bills go up. Our Cheap Power Plan to axe the Carbon Tax and scrap old wind subsidies would cut everyone’s electricity bills by 20% instantly. We have to put cheap energy first. Here’s how. https://x.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/1979541981643800955/video/1 [Source]

  Net Zero has become a religion and anyone who dares question it is deemed a heretic. But we have to be honest - it’s making us all poorer and it’s making climate change worse. Great to join @bbcnickrobinson for Political Thinking this week - full episode below???????? https://x.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/1979236678616134066/video/1 [Source]

  A third of the cost of gas power is a Carbon Tax. We’d axe it. Ed paid £82/MWh for 15 years of offshore wind last year and is paying much more this year. That’s BEFORE the extra costs of renewables. Want people to use electric cars? MAKE ELECTRICITY CHEAP. https://twitter.com/timpollard2/status/1978740366573490280 [Source]

  We need a radical change to energy policy. Our Cheap Power Plan would cut bills by 20% instantly. Axe the Carbon Tax and scrap the Renewable Obligation subsidies pushing up bills. Ed could do this tomorrow if he truly cared about cutting bills. https://x.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/1978555212139798875/video/1 [Source]

  We have to be honest. The Climate Change Act is not working for climate change, our economy, or people’s bills. The best thing for all three is to cut the cost of electricity. Our Cheap Power Plan would scrap the Climate Change Act and cut electricity bills by 20% TODAY. https://x.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/1976302849903706147/video/1 [Source]

  Ed Miliband is shutting down our British oil and gas industry only to import dirtier fuel from abroad. It’s economic and environmental insanity. That’s why we’d repeal the Climate Change Act and back British industry. https://x.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/1976196539266871799/photo/1 [Source]

  We have a choice. High bills, more bans, and more taxes to meet climate targets that won’t make a difference to climate change. Or we could… MAKE ELECTRICITY CHEAP. Our plan would cut bills by 20% NOW. https://x.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/1975560727307182246/video/1 [Source]

  Axe the Carbon Tax. Scrap Ed Miliband’s old rip-off wind farm subsidies. Cut electricity bills by 20%. Ed could do this tomorrow if he wanted to. https://x.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/1975237651985781059/video/1 [Source]

  We will put cheap, reliable, abundant energy first. And we will do that unashamedly. We will Axe the Carbon Tax and scrap Ed Miliband’s old rip off wind farm subsidies. This is in the gift of Ministers. It could be done tomorrow. And it would cut your electricity bill by 20%. https://x.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/1975165142217179413/video/1 [Source]

  When something isn’t working, we should be honest and say so. The Climate Change Act isn’t working for Britain or global emissions. It forces us to make decisions that increase bills and make people poorer. We will repeal it and put cheap energy, nature and innovation first. https://twitter.com/kemibadenoch/status/1973638230106054981 [Source]

  This is Net Zero madness on steroids. Ed Miliband is standing between Britain and growth. As I said last year, if we don’t build more gas power stations we won’t have the AI revolution that could power growth in Britain. We won’t save the planet by making this sacrifice - they will just be built elsewhere. [Source]

  Ed Miliband is selling British jobs for foreign imports in the name of climate change. Doubling carbon taxes and fantasy energy policy won’t mean we need any less gas, steel or chemicals. It just means we’ll import more from abroad. https://x.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/1965308618880024739/photo/1 [Source]

  Keir Starmer has blown the opportunity to spare us all from Ed Miliband and his Net Zero zealotry. Forget higher growth - it’ll mean higher bills, fewer jobs, and more imports. https://twitter.com/benrileysmith/status/1964001318629986341 [Source]

  Let’s take this head on. We’re now importing MORE LNG which is up to 4x more polluting than UK gas. That’s gas from, say Qatar, which has to be frozen, shipped and reheated again in the UK. We’re exporting jobs to increase pollution in the name of climate change. Madness. https://x.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/1962811974867107996/photo/1 https://twitter.com/cfyson/status/1962775589581902180 [Source]

  The Climate Change Committee is using cost assumptions for offshore wind that do not reflect reality. These inaccurate costings are being used to justify spending hundreds of billions of pounds and transforming our entire economy. They must correct them.

  When I came out against Drax, their CEO called me "reckless and irresponsible". Now they are once again being investigated - this time by the FCA - for their sourcing of wood pellets. Huge cost and more carbon than our last coal plant, but continued because of Net Zero. Going green by burning trees is absurd. A reminder that protecting nature is NOT the same as Net Zero. [Source]
