Reform UK pledges to eliminate VAT and green levies on household energy bills, claiming savings of £200 annually for average families.
Sir Tony Blair has urged Energy Secretary Ed Miliband to ditch his 2030 clean power target and cut green levies as his think tank warns that current climate policies are driving up costs for homes and businesses. A new report from the Tony Blair Institute (TBI), personally approved by the former prime minister, claims the government's commitment to fully decarbonise the electricity grid by 2030 is "destroying industry" and "damaging households."
