  1. Who spends that much per annum on energy? how is that going to help the majority of working people? UK power prices have tripled year-on-year from August 2020 (£36/MWh) to August 2021 (£107/MWh) – a jump of £71/MWh. The UK pays £263.99 per megawatt hour in August 2022 and it's still rising. It's around 8x the price it was in 2020...

  3. They make us pay a standard charge for the first so many units we use, and then it gets cheaper the more we use. Most people can't afford to use that much and even if we cut down it makes little difference to the bills because of that standard rate. They have us by the short and curlies and the Tories profit from shares, so aren't inclined to hold the corporations to account.
