The further we lock ourselves into the continued consumption of fossil fuel products through new assets - in this case through more ICE vehicles and methane boilers - the more UK consumers are exposed to global commodity markets, and in particular to the actions of OPEC+.

Investors need clear policy signals to invest in the new energy system that will be cheaper, cleaner and more secure than the legacy fossil fuel based system. Today’s announcement risks undermining investment in the enabling technologies critical to this transition.
@HMRCcustomers just got a reply to my letter from December 2022. Your calculation omits something. I cannot call you because your Self Assessment phone lines are shut until 4th September. If I write you might reply by Christmas. How is this acceptable? @TimesMoney @JimHarraHMRC
@HMRCpressoffice @HMRCgovuk @HMRCcustomers please advise on how I can speak with someone to resolve this before September.

@IKEAUK Where is my delivery?Supposed to arrive yesterday with named day delivery-your track order function still says this. You don’t even put calls in a queue and just drop them. There is no webchat. There isn’t even an email address. What am I supposed to do?!
@marksandspencer did you know about this?! I’m shocked @waitrose could be so ruthless!!!
