This evening, I'll be chairing the Indepen Forum - "We're on the Road to Nowhere. Come on in inside. Who gets left behind in the Migration to Net Zero? Amazing line up of speakers & perfect timing given today's Chancellor announcement.

Later, our CEO Sean Duffy will speak with senior industry leaders at an Indepen event on the cost of living crisis and just transition 💡 "Those that need the most have the least, and those that need the least have the most. Who pays and who helps?" More to follow...

"In winter of 2021, we had been a 348% increase in people seeking income maximisation advice, and a 139% increase in energy debt advice. In contrast, the relief we saw increased by 41%. This was before the price cap rise" Sean Duffy at Indepen on cost of living

"Dante said “The darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis. And those already in extreme poverty will be forced to survive in a modern Dante’s hell. For them the cost-of-living is the cost-of-not-dying" Indepen

"Make no mistake, from this tragic high watermark every percentage point increase in the price cap translates as over one hundred thousand more families in poverty. " #CostOfLivingCrisis Indepen

"There is no them and us in the pandemic, there is no them and us in fuel poverty, there is no them and us in the climate crisis, there is only us. And it is up to us to sort it out." #CostOfLivingCrisis Indepen

Thanks to Indepen for inviting me to take part in tonight’s energy forum. It was a lively discussion on a day when energy costs weigh heavily on those who can least afford it. The look to the future had strands of positivity, but can we do what’s needed to make it happen 🤔
