Britain is in an Energy Emergency.

But the Government is FAILING TO ACT. They have no plan, no idea what to do, and they’re leaving us exposed.

So today we’re launching The LFG Emergency Energy Bill to SAVE OUR INDUSTRIES and GET BILLS DOWN

Here’s how it would get bills down IMMEDIATELY:

1️⃣ SCRAP all levies on energy bills. These stealth taxes on the British people are unnecessarily hiking up their bills by hundreds of pounds.

2️⃣ REOPEN THE NORTH SEA, and directly deploy the tax revenue generated to GET BILLS DOWN.

3️⃣ Stop new CfD contracts and launch an investigation into the system that signed them off. Last year, billpayers paid £1.5 billion for big renewable corporations to THROW ENERGY AWAY. By 2030, it’ll be £8 billion. The existing settlement is a national scandal.

4️⃣ Scrap Clean Power 2030 targets. These needless constraints have pushed civil servants to procure wind at any cost – and at huge expense to the British people.

5️⃣ DITCH the duties of energy regulators, NESO and Ofgem, towards Net Zero goals, so their only focus is to MINIMISE ENERGY COSTS, subject to security of supply.

6️⃣ Hold auctions for connecting to the grid, and directly deploy the revenue generated to GET BILLS DOWN

Our Emergency Energy Bill has cross-party support. It is ready to PASS IMMEDIATELY. It does what governments for the past 20 years didn’t – it takes RADICAL ACTION to SAVE OUR INDUSTRIES and GET BILLS DOWN.

There’s no excuse. Last week, the US suspended access to some of the world’s leading frontier AI models. Britain is vulnerable - and our energy prices are strangling our national security. We cannot afford to be at the mercy of other countries or events beyond our control any longer.

The Government needs to GET BILLS DOWN NOW or explain why they’re still letting this emergency destroy our future.

Force Westminster to ACT. Send our Bill to your local MP and sign our letter to the Prime Minister and Ed Miliband. GET BILLS DOWN, NOW!

A great turnout for LFG Glasgow’s first ever event last night.

We clean. We build. We campaign. We force politicians, parties, and government at every level to choose growth over yet more stagnation & decline.

More to come. LFG 🚀

We paid over £1 BILLION for this.

For almost TWO years, the line from Oxford to Milton Keynes has sat EMPTY.

The stations are built, the trains are ready...

But no passenger services are running.

Why?

A dispute between the unions and government.

The line could help add 160,000 new jobs and £78 BILLION to the economy.

This should be a high-profile national SCANDAL.

What do you think?

They think it’s okay to mislead young people.

Multiple universities have been using lower salaries to mislead students about their repayments.

And it's not the first time graduates have been misled.

The Government holds an extensive database of every student. 

Where they studied. What they studied. How much they now earn.

The dataset was created with the intention to make it public. 

“Enable parents and students to make more informed choices”, they said.

It was never made fully accessible.

The dataset is so powerful that you can track from secondary school to salary. 

And yet, they refuse to release it.

Releasing these records would help MILLIONS of students every year. 

It would help disadvantaged students make more informed decisions about their career.

But it’s not just this.

The Government has failed young people, in almost every aspect of their lives. By refusing to grow the economy, or build any homes, or let companies scale, they have stopped young people from progressing in life.

No jobs. No homes. No hope.

So… why do young people leave?

We think it's quite obvious.

Somehow, our political class still forget about the Lost Generation.

We think it’s time to prioritise them again.

Do you?
