The U.K. Government is considering scrapping a proposed “boiler tax”, which would require homeowners to pay for the replacement of old appliances. The Telegraph has the story.
Boiler makers who miss heat pump installation targets were to be fined from April as part of a Government push to add 600,000 pumps a year by 2028.
But manufacturers have already responded by raising their prices by up to £120 – passing the costs of the scheme to consumers.
No final decision has been made but Claire Coutinho held discussions with her officials in recent weeks about scrapping the boiler tax, the Times reported.
A Government source was quoted by the Times as saying ministers were “looking again at the policy” and accusing boiler manufacturers of imposing “indefensible price hikes”. …
Rishi Sunak had been facing a backbench mutiny from Conservative MPs over the policy, with as many as 50 members of the Net Zero Scrutiny Group having prepared to vote against the Clean Heat Market Mechanism (CHMM) in the Commons.
Craig Mackinlay, the Chairman of the group, had called the levy “another blow to hardworking families”, while Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg, the former Energy Secretary, warned it was an example of “green mania [that] will increase inflation and lower living standards”.

Bust the joint.
It’s great news. Gives me some hope.
Great news, hopefully he stays safe and delivers.
McConnell is a washed out, barely functioning RINO. The sooner he’s removed the better.
He was also the sole GOP Senator to vote against Tulsi Gabbard.
Take note, Dame Heather, and open your eyes and ears.
The comparison between the US and UK is going to get very uncomfortable for our government on so many different issues.
The Marxists at the BBC are choking on their green tea and rice. A joy to behold.
Good luck to him, Obesity and ultra processed products look like easy targets, with pharmaceutical products at the other end of the scale. No doubt it will depend on the financial interests of the administration.
Obesity looks like an easy target, I see what you did there
May the force be with you.
Go for the jugular of Pfizer and Moderna.
Great news.
“He will now be in charge of a $1.7 trillion agency” Soon to be an under $1 Trillion dollar agency.
The comments on the BBC News facebook page from the brainwashed normies are hilarious.
Lets hope RFK Jr. brings down Big Pharma, corrupt politicians and the propagandists in the main stream media.
I see the House of Savile, already has questions to answer, over some receipts from USAID.
Radical Transparency is a central plank of the Trump admin. Big Pharma better prepare for a hurricane to come down on their cozy world……..not least their bank accounts…..
Bringing RFK on board was a stroke of genius by Trump.
And whoever was the first to come with ‘MAHA’ to go along with ‘MAGA’, that was a stroke of genius too.
It’s strange how he seems to have retreated from his previous anti-vaccine stance and criticism of C19/Fauci. Now the target is food. It looks like Big Pharma is too powerful.
Halleluia. I hope he lifts the lid on the stinking cesspit of Big Pharma, State “Medical Regulators” and the puppeticians who created and pushed the dangerous, experimental gene therapies …. and exterminates the lot of them.
The end of covid poisonous vaxx and injury causing kiddie vaxxes will be abolished soon. Thank god.
All RFK needs to do is introduce real science and reduce the influence of profiteering and greed. The rest will take care of itself. Kennedy basically said as much during his approval hearings.
sad that not one Dem voted for him, people who used to give him standing ovations. Being partisan now counts more than speaking the truth.
This is fantastic news for us all. We need similar public debate and action in the UK. Parents of children with autism may find this new substack of interest. The aim is to link up with developments in the UK: https://open.substack.com/pub/theautismtribune?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=1s85wn
