General election 2019: Labour pledges billions for home energy upgrades

Households which take out the loan would pay it back through savings on energy bills, Labour added.

Households with low incomes would not pay anything. Wealthier ones would get interest free loans. Everyone, it's said, would benefit from lower bills and the UK as a whole would see its carbon emissions fall. Outlining where the additional jobs in its latest pledge would be created, Labour said an estimated 250,000 skilled jobs would be in the construction industry in roles like insulation specialists, plasterers, carpenters and electricians.'Homes of the future'

Absolutely ridiculous 😂😂😂😂😂 it will never happen

That's labour put the country in terrible debt straight away Twats

Didn't take them long to water down 'for all ' to a smaller target audience ..

Shades of Smart meters going to save us money

'Labour expects the project to cost £250bn...' Between this and privatisation alone, the figures are getting close to £500bn. We know who will be paying this debt off... Future generations. 🙄🙄🙄

Promises promises 😈

I want one of those money trees for Xmas.

How about billions building homes for the non well off population of this country. Affordable homes like they did after 2nd world war.. instead of helping the rich save more money...

Good at promising loads of stuff huh

And who pays for this? We do!

Money tree shaken again?

Who’s paying

When all the billionaires are gone where is the money coming from to pay for this 🤔🤔

Where are they gling to get all their money from?

The lies spouted out at the brexit referendum are peanuts compared to the bullshit we,ll hear on the run up to the GE .

Yea right cuckoo land

I can’t wait for my free unicorn too!

Money from where?

Here we go. Bankrupt the country. Do not vote Labour.

Looking forward to the beautiful flowers on the money trees when they come out bloom.

Thought the cost of re-nationalising was £300B first. Buying the companies and then make sure we double up taxes in using less fuel (in principle good) but makes those same companies worth less

more pie in the sky bullshit CORBYNOUT

Magic money tree

Losing count of how many headlines “Labour pledges billions.....” have appeared. Totally unbelievable false promises

People will believe it

Labour hasn’t got Billions because all those with the money will be leaving the UK if he got into power, what you need to ask yourself is WHERE does all this money come from to carry out All his false promises, like all parties everything they promise never comes to fruition.

Electoral STUNT and an interest free loan for those already short of money desperation already like standing at football what about free fishing licences as there are lots of anglers anything to get a vote but nothing thought out or doable in time frames

For every story on Election promises there should be an explanation of how it affects Scotland, Wales and NI. Come on BBC, please remember devolution. davidshukmanbbc BBCScotlandNews BBCScotNewsdesk ThatsDevolved

Who pays for this? Is money coming from Corbyn himself?

In the end only the ones who live in Houses will benefit from it and those are the rich and very rich in London and other big cities.

Billions that we have to pay back in 8 years when they put us in crippling debt again.

Is this before or after they’ve driven out all the millionaires and billionaires who generate almost 30% of the UK tax revenue? Before or after they’ve nationalised everything at a cost of £300bn+ Before or after money for every other uncosted give away?! MagicGrandpa

So is this right after they renationalise Gas and Electricity?

£60bn will be the minimum cost, as usual they claim it will pay for itself. Plus where are they going to find 250,000 workers and train them all in a few years. As usual not properly costed pie in the sky policies which we all end up paying for

Send so the bullshit begins!

Here we go...

Up grade to what? Sound bites don’t mean anything

Starting to bankrupt the country already....

why again is jeremycorbyn considering throwing public money at landlords ? when the real policies such be every new home build should have solar roof as standard & social landlords complying with 5 years of their stock ?

And unicorns for every home.

election coming up or something?

Needs to be done sooner rather than later. Funny how people are already claiming a spending commitment hasn’t been costed. It’s literally in the headline.

People fall for this BS, it’s goes like this the new heating system costs 10,000 the government gives you a 1,000 dollar rebate. That’s how this government assistant works in Canada. Same with electric cars. No one can afford them except the wealthy so they benefit, claiming.

They just want peoples votes & then when they get them we won’t hear nothing more about it. How about more money for schools public services the policing all the things that have been cut

They are are all at it, making promises that they won't & can't keep - that is unless outside of Europe, UK can grow money on trees.

Diane Abbot worked out the finances so don't expect the figures to be accurate.

Once Corbyn has bankrupt the country how will it fund these ideas

With all this anti-wealthy sentiment, I think Labour wants to turn the UK into Cuba, where nobody average can be wealthy or achieve much, no matter how hard they try.

Billions that they must first confiscate from taxpayers.

We’re all doomed... from brexit blocking to bust in 12months with a labour win.....let’s join the billionaires and bugger off straight away!

Is this going to be like all his Liebour pledges in 2017, when after the election, they had to admit they hadn't costed them properly (probably hackneyacabus doing the maths) and they wouldn't have been able to afford them anyway.

Billions more they dont have.

Labour, the guy who says if I won the lottery I would give millions, never buys a ticket. Complete bullshit.

Of course they do. Why not trillions? Are you checking your recent inherent bias BBC? you might want to check recent tweets for impartiality....

To be milked by all the big energy companies who already charge us.....

Free stuff for votes, obviously worried that THE POSTAL VOTES won’t be enough....

Need more social housing first
