Tumbrels on Sunday
This is new initiative to be published here every sunday, it has been inspired by the first progress report from the Prime Minister’s “behavioural insight team”, better known as its 'Nudge Unit'
The 'Nudge Unit' is the group of eight civil servants whose job it is to come up with ways of helping us make better choices – without forcing us to do so.
“The stealth levies, introduced to fund Britain’s investment in wind and solar power, are costing families an average of £200 a year – two-thirds of the amount the Cabinet Minister said they should be able to save. This represents an increase of between 15 and 20 per cent on the average domestic power bill. The money is being used to help fund the building of 10,000 wind turbines and the proposed installation of £7 billion worth of smart meters in homes.”
