  A timely and thoughtful report by @gavinantonyrice looking at how we can cut energy bills including axing the Carbon Tax that is unnecessarily pushing up bills. We have to make electricity CHEAP. https://twitter.com/sirsimonclarke/status/2029844525737263424 [Source]

  Stop obliterating the North Sea. Adopt the Fingleton Review IN FULL for cheaper nuclear. Axe the Carbon Tax pushing up the cost of gas. And for god’s sake, in light of today’s news, please don’t try and cover up any more of your secret China deals. [Source]

  It shouldn’t have taken an Iranian attack on the world’s largest gas export facility in Qatar for us to realise the benefits of being able to produce our own oil and gas. As the world gets more dangerous, we must ditch fantasy Net Zero thinking and prioritise our own energy resilience. All of this has shown up our luxury belief that we in Britain are better off keeping our own oil and gas in the ground while making ourselves more reliant on Qatari LNG imports. First, let’s get the worst [Source]

  As the conflict in Iran and Qatar shows, our energy resilience is our national resilience. Labour’s plans to shut down the North Sea have left us more reliant on Qatari LNG. We need to get real. That means maximising the North Sea, adopting the Fingleton Review to make nuclear cheaper to build, and axing the Carbon Tax to protect British industry. Our letter to Rachel Reeves????????

  The thing that Ed does not understand is that a heavily renewable system ties you to gas because you need a dispatchable back up. Even in Ed Miliband’s mad expensive dash to renewables, gas still sets the price of the system 50% of the time (!!) I support taking the carbon tax off of gas that’s making our electricity unnecessarily expensive AND I’m pro building a lot more nuclear, which does not need a gas back up. Funnily enough, nuclear did not get a SINGLE mention in Ed’s Lib Dem 2 [Source]

  Italy is set to adopt the first step of our Cheap Power Plan by axing the Carbon Tax to protect industry and households from soaring energy bills. The world is getting more dangerous, and yet Ed Miliband has doubled down on taxes that are hammering industry and the North Sea. We are increasing our reliance on hostile parts of the world for energy and critical minerals when we should be strengthening our resilience. We must change course. [Source]

  Keir Starmer is about to hand the EU powers to impose crippling Carbon Taxes on Britain. They will be able to make our electricity, sugar and petrol even more expensive and cause huge pain for industry. This is mad. He must axe this terrible deal. https://x.com/camillahmturner/status/2027740779301474480?s=46 [Source]

  Net Zero is making our electricity crushingly expensive and killing our industry. A collective failure of politicians, regulators and the civil service. We need a new approach. We must make electricity cheap - it would also be better for emissions overall! https://x.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/2027104206113345721/photo/1 [Source]

  Good grief. As I’ve long suspected, Labour will block growth from AI because of their ideological commitment to Net Zero targets. If AI companies pay for their own energy, why would Government block them starting up in Britain? It won’t save the planet - those companies will still start somewhere - it will just leave Britain behind a technological curve leaving us poorer, weaker and with fewer opportunities for our children. Energy policy should serve the needs of the public, not some fan [Source]

  Italy is about to take the first step of my Cheap Power Plan - axe the Carbon Tax on electricity. Carbon taxes are killing industry and hurting consumers Ed Miliband is too fanatical to admit it but more and more people are waking up. We need to MAKE ELECTRICITY CHEAP! https://x.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/2024226564255134114/photo/1 [Source]

  UK production falls and Britain gets poorer = good for Net Zero. UK imports more goods with higher emissions = good for Net Zero. This is the problem. Our myopic focus on domestic emissions is not saving the planet, it is just decimating our economic and energy security. https://x.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/2024060987343601913/photo/1 [Source]

• 17 Feb 2026: Tweet

  Labour has doubled the Carbon Tax, crushing jobs and industry in a £5 BILLION hit to our economy. Gas, chemicals, glass, steel… all jobs we’re losing in Britain so we can become more reliant on dirtier imports from abroad. We need to repeal the Climate Change Act and change tack now. [Source]

  ????NEW: Ed Miliband has just signed a new green energy deal with California. This time, he’s published the full text of the deal online. …but the deal he signed with China remains a secret. What is he trying to hide? Why the secrecy when it comes to China? https://x.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/2023403722945208498/photo/1 https://twitter.com/clairecoutinho/status/2023314546098585614 [Source]

  This is a disaster. Labour’s EU deal has already pushed up carbon taxes and energy bills in a £5 billion hit to our economy – and it hasn’t even been signed yet. We need industry to succeed for growth, not more of the failed energy policy which has decimated European industry. https://x.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/2022950012628443486/photo/1 [Source]

  Ed Miliband is shutting down the North Sea to virtue signal on climate change. But we know we need oil and gas for decades, so he’s just making us more reliant on dirtier foreign imports. Even Tony Blair’s outfit agrees. We need less student politics and more realism in energy. https://x.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/2022230058572878097/video/1 https://twitter.com/lbc/status/2022128979952480714 [Source]

• 12 Feb 2026: Tweet

  Labour MPs are opposing plans to make nuclear cheaper and easier to build and question whether building data centres in Britain would derail Net Zero… … meanwhile, we found out today the UK grew just 0.1% in the last three months of 2025. We need to get serious about growth. https://x.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/2022008595966279784/photo/1 [Source]

  In March 2025, Ed Miliband and his team visited China for energy and climate discussions and "demonstrate global climate leadership". Reminder: China has just commissioned TWICE AS MANY coal power plants in a single year as our total power demand. https://x.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/2021257825041654144/photo/1 [Source]

  The Government has *doubled* the Carbon Tax in the past year. They admit yesterday’s legislation will push it up even higher. Of an £850 electricity bill over £100 is now the Carbon Tax, that’s over 10% of your bill. We should be making electricity CHEAPER not more expensive. https://twitter.com/clairecoutinho/status/2016217381471707449 [Source]

• 27 Jan 2026: Tweet

  ????????NEW: Labour MPs just voted to INCREASE the Carbon Tax and push up everyone’s electricity bills. Their own analysis admits that increasing the Carbon Tax pushes up energy bills and the cost of living for families. Labour MPs voted to increase the Carbon Tax anyway. https://x.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/2016217381471707449/video/1 [Source]

  Michael, your own document from today totally disproves this. Your cost for a fully run gas power plant without a Carbon Tax (that has doubled under your watch) is significantly cheaper than your cost for an offshore wind plant. You published this today. Did you read it? Did @Ed_Miliband? The truth is you don’t care about cost, just about your self-imposed Clean Power targets. [Source]

  Germany recently announced plans to build more gas plants to avoid supply shortages. It’s time to get real. In these difficult geopolitical times we cannot let Net Zero ideology override our energy security. https://x.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/2010625473647366389/photo/1 [Source]

• 12 Jan 2026: Tweet

  This problem is even worse because our Net Zero targets call for a surge in electric cars and electric heating - and AI will also spike demand by up to 16 GW in total. We are ADDING roughly a third to peak demand while LOSING up to a third of our firm power supply. [Source]

• 12 Jan 2026: Tweet

  The legal targets in the Climate Change Act 2008 force us to undertake two gargantuan tasks at once: 1) Decarbonise electricity: swap coal and gas power stations for wind & solar farms. 2) Electrify everything else: swap petrol cars and gas boilers for electric cars & heating. [Source]

  Ed Miliband and Net Zero are putting us at a greater risk of blackouts than at any time since the 1970s. Today I'm launching @KathrynPorter26's report on why we need to get serious about our energy security. ????THREAD???????? https://x.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/2010625433688301824/photo/1 [Source]

  Tomorrow, energy bills will rise YET AGAIN because of Labour - despite gas prices falling. But that’s not enough for Ed Miliband. He’s now planning a new tax on heating your home to pay for his rush to Net Zero. Happy New Year… https://x.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/2006313820525056026/photo/1 [Source]
