A freeze on energy bills wouldn’t help the worst off. Much better letting bills go up to £6k a year and giving them a few hundred quid in their bank accounts, apparently.

I know you should never be shocked with this lot, and yet…

 

It's an odd point to make tbh. It obviously will help. The question of whether it will help enough is another.

At the same time, though, the worst off will already receive up to £1,500 to help with the cost of living crisis. That is a significant amount of £1,971 should the cap be frozen there.

£3549 is the new price cap on energy but it's ok Liz will push the button and doesn't like the French

It's a bloody joke.

The nonsense that all energy production prices are tied to the prices of (Russian) gas needs to be challenged.

Hope they pay the bill first, would be embarrassing if the leccy was cut off just before she pushed it

Sorry your bills are high folks, Ukraine is paying in blood and you'll just have to deal with. It's the price of standing up to Putin.

Surprise… surprise nobody from the government is available for discussion with the media today 

These c***s need to start getting hounded. Every single Tory

No one from the UK Government available for interviews this morning. I think that's a good thing as it shows they must be working very hard on a plan to help us all out

It's actually the council's job to sort it but she could intervene. Then you'd moan about her intervening.

Probably.

 

And the 'embassy' in Denmark is an unneccessary nonsense.

Energy costs in other European countries are not rising as fast as those in the U.K., I wonder why that is?

I’ve had no indication that my electricity price is going up.

There are two main reasons.  We're more reliant on Gas and we have very little storage capability therefore we have to buy it in the short term spot market.

The other of course is we don't have a functioning government in place at the moment to take any action as other countries have done.

This calling to hound people is way over the top. It does no good whatsoever.

Great stuff this.  I've just seen our Prime Minister proudly state on Sky news that the government are going to give financial help - "most of the money will go to the eight million most vulnerable households..."

Why the f are there eight million vulnerable households in such a wealthy country?

Being pedantic being most vulnerable doesn't strictly mean you are vulnerable.  You could be at the bottom end of a scale that starts very high up.

Of course you could turn it the other way and say if there are 8 million most vulnerable that could mean there are more than 8m vulnerable households which is probably closer to the truth in the current climate.

I'm just glad they're doing something.

They were in danger of losing my vote.
