Will Green: I’m a Labour supporter – but here’s why I believe that Universal Basic Income wouldn’t work

Effectively, for much of the population, UBI would merely take their money and then give it back to them. What’s the point?

Richard Ritchie: We all benefit from the oil and gas industry. Why is this Government, in thrall to a moral panic, unwilling to say so?

If artists are so unwilling to accept the support of industrial companies, perhaps they should be prepared to live off box office receipts alone.

Anthony Browne: Policy Gains from Brexit 2) Cutting VAT on domestic electricity

With average household energy bills around £1000 a year, it would be a cut of about £50 per year per family.

Kevin Hollinrake: So you think that energy bills have been going up? In which case, think again.

When we account for how much energy we use at home, British families are not facing ever-rising bills for gas and electricity.

Wilf Lytton: Our dependency on natural gas will cost us if we don’t act swiftly

Ofgem should introduce a new ‘low-carbon gas obligation’ in the next price control framework from April 2021. This would enable the UK to decarbonise its heating sectorat the lowest possible cost.

Simon Clarke: The UK is well-placed to lead the world in the fight against climate change

We have the technology. Being a world leader in carbon capture and storage attractive can make us a destination for inward investment in clean energy.

Stuart Jackson: Here’s how a price cap could introduce real competition to the energy market

A ‘relative’ cap on the difference between standard variable tariffs and acquisition tariffs could untie Adam Smith’s ‘invisible hand’ in the retail energy market.

Good news for diesel drivers – but a dark smog cloud is on the horizon for the rest of us

A compensation scheme will be welcome. But the Government might yet have to introduce other punitive measures.

May decisions for autumn. 2) Hinkley Point and Heathrow expansion. What’s the policy?

The way British politics and planning mix tends to push infrastructure decisions into the long grass.

Hinkley Point 3) Ben Caldecott: Let’s seize this chance to end it – and choose a clean, green and efficient alternative instead

Blind faith in new nuclear and shale gas have yielded precisely zero for UK security of supply, despite constant rhetoric to the contrary.

Ben Caldecott: Ignore the scaremongering – phasing out coal won’t make the lights go out

A new analysis shows that even in the worst case scenario energy security is still ensured.

Ashley Fox: This referendum campaign has harmed our party’s reputation, and I’ll be glad when it’s over.

Plus: Sorting out energy. Protection from Putin. And: furthering the single market.

Andrew Boff: Pensioners will lose if we divest of fossil fuels

Following this strategy could lead to weaker returns, leaving older local people, teachers, healthcare workers and so on with less in their pockets.
