I don't think I can even steelman Rishi's statement. Wow.

But this is how they all think he was just stupid enough to say it out loud, on camera.

Seems even the smartest are idiots.

It would be a nightmare.
How would you know? It would be near impossible to set up. It's not really something you can validate if someone is a high user due to medical reasons.

You certainly can because medical reasons such as that would be on benefit if they are in need to support that and so all that is needed to send to your energy supplier would be evidence of medical and benefit requirement and they can make allowance for such in that regards.

 

[Surveyor]

Yes I have, but I'll only do it if sufficient volume is reached.

You won't do it because there's no way of verifying how many have signed up and, of those that have, how many go through with it.

Id be looking for a number substantially more than the million they are targetting, plus a great deal of media coverage on the topic in the days prior. Additionally my approach would be to cancel the DD, leave for a few days maybe a week, then set a new one up again at a lower amount.

Ah this would help a lot. Makes me wonder why they didn't use it for the cost of living payments. Or maybe they did?

I guess some will invariably slip through the net

It’s easy. They already use deemed averages based on No of rooms. Use that. If you have a 3 bedroom house yet use the same as a 2 bed you get charged the lower tier.

That doesn't solve the problem at all.

You could have someone very well-off in a huge 6 bedroom house with proper insulation, modern appliances and solar panels using well below average so paying lowest tier but someone in a small 2 bedroom house with single glazed windows, crap insulation and electric heating paying one of the high tiers because they can't afford the home improvements to reduce consumption.

I’m all ears whats the solution?

Not implementing a tiered rate for energy.

Helping those who need it in other ways.

My first thought. Hopefully not...

 

[HungryHippos]

That would certainly invalidate your home insurance I'd imagine.

 

[the shadow]

Gas hysteria everywhere

You might as well admit you won't be doing it in any fashion.

That isn't true though. I will do it if I think its appropriate at the time. October is still 2 months away.

Surveyor will want to see a sworn statement, your bank and energy accounts, and pictures of the bailiffes through your Ring before he believes you. Even then he won't admit that he believes you.
