A revolution over energy prices and an incompetent government, who'd have thunk it?
Who even likes going to London?!?HS2 was yet another London centric nonsense waste of money, saving 30 mins or what ever on a trip to London when that money could have improved the infrastructure country wide. I don't think it would ever have been used for energy saving grants (tho it would have been great if they did) but our entire rail network could do with improving.... not just a jaunt to London

Agile was the type of tariff for this stuff, but Agile isnt subsidised by car manufacturers (and maybe also government) like GO is so its fallen victim to the crazy market and now is basically an alternative capped tariff (which on occasion, usually Sundays might have slightly lower prices).Well then what's the point in even discussing battery systems? Its only worth it if we get the 7.5p overnight rate.
Thats mental, seems Ofgem really have little concern for consumers right now and just prioritising on recovering money and keeping the suppliers happy, I expect their mandate remains to keep as many suppliers in the market as possible.It’s challenging to keep up with the price cap update in October - Ofgem have tweaked the calculation, which makes it more expensive !!
The latest is :
- Gas prices to rise 94%
- Electricity prices to rise 71%
Meaning the average bill is expected to be £3,687 in October, £4,400 from January and £4,700 from April

Economy 7 is still a thing but i think the off peak rates are a joke, its barely worth using.
You don't have to get out if you don't go in!Might be enabling people to get out!
People in credit would have lost their credit balances, this would have led to everyone hogging the big name companies for safety which goes against the ideology of having more supplier competition.I don't quite understand why we had to foot the bill for it.
They were private business's, if a shop goes out of business, it doesn't cost us anything, if a bus station went out of business, it wouldn't cost us anything. Why should these privately run energy business's cost us.

Yep the government needs to move on from paying private companies to build infrastructure and instead build it themselves owned by the government.We should have had govt owned wind farms and sold the energy cheaply back to us. Instead we pay gas prices for wind power.

It's even worse now that post-covid there's a lot more WFH and video meetings etc. I would imagine the "need"/demand for something like HS2 has probably plummeted. I dread to think how many decades (if ever) it will take to pay for itself
People often compare this to the nationalised 70s but things were vastly different then, computers, internet, technology etc. Back then governments were held to ransom by people and labour but that wouldn't be the case now.Yep the government needs to move on from paying private companies to build infrastructure and instead build it themselves owned by the government.
I thought it was for the Londoners to get out?Who even likes going to London?!?
It would be much better if they raised minimum wage and increased benefits as that would help those most at need but it's the Tory way to help those least at needWell, looks like Truss won't be giving any more help if she gets the job. It's going to be very grim for a lot of people.
