What a phoney

What a phoney

Isn't it nice when the election turns its attention to good ideas?

This is what you want to see a fight over:
Who's got the best offer for Solar Power?

So much of what I have written about solar power has had to begin with I get that not everybody has the money for this. That's what makes packages like the one Labour announced/one-upped today so good.

What's not to like about a deal that puts panels on your roof and you pay nothing up front  and your repayment costs are funded out of the savings you make from switching to more affordable power?

We love the arrangement we've got. Down comes the energy from the sun, onto our roof and into our oven and hot water cylinder and car. I want to see that for everybody.

He's the Faux Outsider making empty promises of Faux Devolution.
He's the man who hates head office, who is head office.

What a phoney.
