The head of the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) has called on the Government to upgrade the UK’s leaky housing stock rather than spending billions on massive energy bills every year.

Director-general Tony Danker said that the UK will need to invest around £5.2 billion every year until 2035 to properly insulate its homes, which lose heat faster than any in Europe.

Russia has been hit with intensifying sanctions since it invaded Ukraine — but Moscow could still rake in $800 million a day from oil and gas revenue this year amid soaring energy prices, according to a Bloomberg Economics report last week.

That's 20% higher than the country's $235.6 billion takings from oil and gas in 2021.
