Mail Online would like reaction from people who will be impacted by the Government's plans to penalise households if they don't switch from gas under new Net Zero plans. They plan to overhaul subsidy rules so gas is relatively less attractive compared with electricity. This risks pushing household gas bills up by as much as £100 a year, while electricity costs will fall.Mail Online is covering the story here:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11919001/Gas-bills-rise-100-electricity-costs-fall-government-green-drive.html">https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11919001/Gas-bills-rise-100-electricity-costs-fall-government-green-drive.html</a>They'd particularly like reaction from people who live in rural communities who are more reliant on gas. But anyone who wants to speak about it would be great.

Mail Online - Comment on Gas bills could rise by around £100 a year under the Government's new green drive

This will force yet more disabled people into poverty and suffering. In the current financial crisis, it's already impossible for many disabled people to afford their bills and they don't necessarily have a choice when it comes to heating. Many conditions, from musculoskeletal to breathing, mean that people are utterly reliant on their gas central heating to stay well.

As an entrepreneur, this news is disastrous for many small business owners and their employees who are already fighting against high inflation and a general increase in cost across the board. Most small businesses just cannot afford to increase wages in line with inflation. Government regulations and shutdowns have already made it difficult to stay afloat, and now the prospect of more money grabbing schemes from the government dressed up as "taxes" or "green" benefits threatens to crush UK SMEs and their staff entirely.

Bradley Lay is a Global Speaker and Business Investor. Beginning his career as a finance professional in the corporate world, he started with Morgan Stanley, before joining a £12m revenue construction business which he helped grow to £150m and successfully exit. As a result of the last two decades of hard work, he worked his way to the position of Group CFO. Fuelled by a desire to help others learn this “secret”, Bradley took to the stage to maximise outreach, with the goal of reaching as many business owners within the construction sector as possible, in showing them how they can create a life-changing capital event through a business sale that gives them true financial wealth and life freedom. Bradley says that he feels blessed to have started to build a reputation as a highly sought after speaker, mentor and business investor. His investments through his own private equity, Peak Capital Group, when acquiring businesses are simple, pain-free and collaborative within the construction industry, which has so far created several millionaires to date and counting!
