Given the level of slacktivism in the UK maybe 5% if you're lucky. Would be much more impactful if all supposed 100,000 marched on downing street

Just checked the futures for Dec 22 and it hit more all time highs today, peaked at 556 and dropped slightly to 545. I think its very realistic at this rate to see 600p per therm by the end of the month.
For reference:
545p per therm is 18.60p kwh
600p per therm would be 20.47p kwh
Disclaimer: This doesnt mean the cap will be near these prices, these are just contract prices for later in the year but they will effect the Jan cap

People who are going to be faced with the genuine choice of either pay their gas/electric direct debits, or feeding their children are going to care in the slightest about the potential consequences in relation to their credit rating score if they are on the verge of being evicted Millions are pushed to breaking point, and absolute poverty nothing left to lose springs to mind

He is going to be £1200 in credit. You would be beter off investing that
They buy in advance as soon as know they have a customer. Before this situation started they advertised the best prices they could buy in at and as soon as you sign up, they buy it.
Now of course that is a lot harder.
One thing I've discovered a long time ago about this country, if you stand your ground trying to make a difference, everyone else will brand you or try to ridicule you as a crazy person. Everyone else is scared but are great at mouthing off on the Internet. When it come to the crunch, they run for the hills while up on the hill shouting you're a lunatic.
The priorities are all wrong in this country. Look what happens to the other protests that gets traction, based on feelings, gender or race but serious issues like this. Nah, they're not interested.

That. Talk is cheap and most people give it the big I am until the time comes, then you find they're full of ****
It's a dumb protest anyway maybe they will just come to realise that.

People are scared and doing the only thing they can in the hope that something will change. I really do feel for some families.
Its pretty much gone in 3 months.
Most people like stable monthly outgoings, its not hard to understand why people use DD to keep it simple.

Metro Exodus simulator this winter will be fun indeed.

Is no need, he/she doesnt own the meter. I rent and swapped mine without contacting my LL.
Ironically they know I did it as by coincidence they came to read the meters not long after I did it (vacant neighbour flat) and never said a word to me, which they cant really.
Its really disconnections that are questionable but a meter swap no problem.
Also right now is a massive waiting time (several months) for smart meter installs, in some areas I think they cant even submit an order, so dont wait until then to submit an actual meter reading.

I'm with Scottish Power and my fixed rate ends at the end of the month. Up until yesterday, they were offering 1 and 2 year fixed (the 2 year fixed slightly more expensive, but includes a charity donation, so that's all right then), tonight the option of the 2 year fixed has gone. So have committed to the 1 year fixed. DD currently £62/month, predicted to rise to £200/month. I'm sure with a frugal approach, we can easily get that sub-£200/month.
Pretty much double I'd have thought
Dont worry Truss says she will push her tax cuts in a emergency budget so lower corp tax, NI, inheritance tax etc, coming to help us out. So probably about £200 spread out over the year if you on median wage.
Basically double it or more.
