Before the election, Labour shamelessly promised that they would slash energy bills by £300, now they're punishing the public for wanting cheap energy.
Net Zero
British households are once again bracing for higher energy bills, thanks to the Marxist obsession with Net Zero policies championed by Ed Miliband and his Labour allies. Industry insiders have warned that the average UK energy bill will surge by over £100, a direct result of stealth taxes deliberately designed to force people to ration their use of basic necessities.
The so-called “price cap,” a term crafted to mislead the public into a false sense of security, is once again being raised. This isn’t due to natural market forces but rather the relentless pressure from Labour’s extreme green agenda, which has burdened energy suppliers with ever more punitive regulations.
Energy regulator Ofgem has announced that the energy price cap will increase by £111 annually starting in April, bringing the average household's yearly bill to £1,849—the highest level in over a year . This 6.4% hike marks the third consecutive rise, said to be due to 'elevated wholesale gas prices' following a cold winter and 'reduced renewable energy production'. The Bank of England has cautioned that these escalating energy costs could significantly contribute to inflation. In response, the government has said it plans to expand the Warm Home Discount to assist an additional 2.7 million households.
Labour’s Shameless Lies About Lowering Energy Bills.
Before the election, Labour shamelessly promised that they would slash household energy bills by £300—a claim that has now been exposed as a blatant falsehood. Instead of delivering on their pledge, they have presided over yet another increase, with Ofgem confirming that the price cap will rise by £111 in April, pushing the average annual bill to £1,849. This latest hike comes as a direct result of their Net Zero fanaticism, making it clear that Labour’s only real plan for energy prices is to drive them even higher.
The Myth of Cheap Green Energy
One of the biggest lies peddled by Net Zero advocates is that renewable energy is supposedly nine times cheaper than fossil fuels. This claim is nothing more than a distortion of facts. The oft-quoted figure originates from a single 14-minute window on one trading day when renewable prices appeared lower—solely because fossil fuel prices spiked in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. In reality, fossil fuels remain significantly cheaper and more reliable than any so-called green alternative.
Yet Labour continues to push this deception while actively sabotaging Britain’s access to affordable energy. Miliband has outright banned new oil and gas exploration in the UK, ensuring that we remain dependent on expensive imports instead of tapping into our own rich natural resources. To manipulate the market further, he has also blocked investment in small nuclear power, a decision that deprives Britain of genuine energy security for generations to come.
Punishing the Public for Wanting Affordable Energy
The latest price hike may be presented as a response to market conditions, but make no mistake—this is the direct result of layer upon layer of green levies, regulatory burdens, and stealth taxes. Instead of making energy affordable and secure, the government is punishing the public for wanting to heat their homes and keep the lights on without breaking the bank.
As energy bills climb yet again, the real cause is clear: Net Zero is not about sustainability or affordability—it is about control. And the British people are paying the price.
