Energy bills have gone through the (poorly-insulated) roof. A household that previously had its bills capped at £1,277 by Britain’s energy regulator, could now pay almost £2,000. This far outstrips any growth in wages, and means millions of people may find themselves unable to heat their homes properly.
What’s caused this sudden spike, and where is all that extra money going? We asked Sara Walker, director of the Centre for Energy at Newcastle University, for her take. She breaks down which costs have and haven’t got more expensive, and calls for a massive programme of energy efficiency measures to fix all those leaky roofs.
Russia brags about its precision missiles, yet has destroyed numerous hospitals in Ukraine. Is that faulty tech or a deliberate strategy? Military ethics expert Peter Lee investigates.
And we also look at why it makes good business sense for your employer to look after your mental health.
