    It’s late summer 2026 and Britain is in the midst of a heatwave. You turn on your tap for water, but nothing comes out. Instead you must queue in the streets to receive water from a standpipe and carry it in a bucket back to your home. This is an extreme, worst case scenario, but is something scientists warn could plausibly happen if the current dry weather continues into next year.

    The UK has signed a new agreement with the EU that resets post-Brexit arrangements on areas including food, fishing and defence. The deal will also see closer alignment between the UK and EU on energy, in a move the Government claims will result in lower energy bills. Sir Keir Starmer hailed the new deal as “good for jobs, good for bills, and good for our borders”. However the Tories have criticised the new arrangements, arguing that they could see energy bills rise.

    Homeowners living in Stoke-on-Trent, Birmingham and Coventry are among those most likely to miss out on lower energy bills if Labour cuts funding for heat pumps and insulation. The Treasury is reportedly considering cutting the £13.2bn “warm homes plan” promised by Labour ahead of the 2024 general election. The funding would have paid for upgrades such as insulation and heat pumps, and is a key component of the Government’s net zero plans.
