FASHION model Daisy Lowe has been recruited to advertise heat pumps by posing in Jane Austen-style regency clothes at Muncaster Castle in Cumbria. I’ve no idea whatsoever why the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero thought a privileged model parading around a grand stately home would encourage plebs like us to install heat pumps, but then I’m not Ed Miliband.

And yes, before you ask, taxpayers are pick-ing up the bill for the advert (but don’t worry, a Department for Energy spokesman insisted the campaign “met strict value-for-money criteria”, so that’s OK).
Has the Government completely lost the plot?
This patronising twaddle arrived in the same week it was revealed the incoming boss of Labour's Great British Energy will earn up to £525,000 a year — potentially three times the £166,786 salary of Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer — and be allowed to work from home two days a week.
