The government are under pressure to take action on rising oil and gas prices - here's what they should do to protect people struggling with their energy bills now and make the country more resilient to price shocks in future🧵

Zack Polanski: wind and solar power will insulate us from price shocks caused by the war in Iran. We hosted Green Party leader @ZackPolanski to kick off NEF's 40th birthday celebrations today.

Remarks from our chief executive Danny Sriskandarajah who talks about celebrating the people and initiatives of NEF innour 40th year. This is the first in a series of events so keep your eyes peeled for what's coming next...

We've now moved onto a Q&A chaired by our deputy chief executive Hannah Peaker.

Fantastic to have a packed out room for our event where we have Zack Polanski speaking - he's started by saying we live in "rip of Britain" - an economy to reward the few off the work of the many.
