Tax of £300 (?) on new gas boilers is likely to kick in next year the manus will have to pass it on by hiking up the boiler cost
??

Some thing like that any way ??

Is that your best advice? Pass on the cost to the customer?

I'm afraid heat pumps are terribly efficient - with about 300% efficiency.
You can't beat that with a gas boiler, or electric heating.
Their suitability for a certain home, is however, a different question.

"Buried in the new energy bill currently being debated and passed in parliament is a law that home owners can be imprisoned for 1 year or fined £15,000 for not complying with net zero legislation. So you will be having that useless overpriced air source heating you didn’t want."

And you can't blame that on the Mayor of London.

Just repeated or any actual information?

But so does this bit

https://fullfact.org/law/
False or misleading claims about the impact of new legislation can cause confusion, and have the potential to affect people’s opinions of the government or how they choose to vote. We often see these types of claims spread widely online.
The Energy Bill is a piece of proposed government legislation currently being considered in Parliament. The government says the bill “will deliver a cleaner, more affordable and more secure energy system for the long term”.
Many of the social media posts cite a clause in the bill which sets out the government’s ability to establish “sanctions” in order to enforce any “energy performance regulations” which may be established.
The clause states that these sanctions may include “the imposition of civil penalties” (fines) not exceeding £15,000 and the “the creation of criminal offences” punishable with a maximum prison term of 12 months, or a fine up to level five on the standard scale (an unlimited fine).
This clause appears to have been widely misunderstood. While, if passed, the bill would give the government the power to establish such offences and set out fines and prison terms, the bill itself does not create any new offences, and it will not result in people facing fines or being sent to prison for failing to comply with existing regulations.
A government spokesperson told Full Fact: “We have no plans to create new criminal offences and any suggestion otherwise is untrue.”
This was also confirmed by energy minister Andrew Bowie, who said in Parliament on 5 September, “I can categorically guarantee before the House that we are not creating new offences. In any case, any new offences on anything—as is always the case—would have to be subject to debate, scrutiny and vote in this place”.
