Up to 70% of pubs potentially to close. It'll be carnage.
But it's OK to 'punish' people on variables, but not those on fixed rates when the prices rise?
You choose to fix, you live with it.

Risk to not fix, risk to fix. No right answer. I chose not to fix because I thought it might effect future receipt of any Government intervention, however I do think people who have fixed shouldn't be penalised in this either.

Normally I'd say no, but this is anything but a normal time.
All of this is academic anyway, nothing may come of any of this, it looks like we need to wait until Thursday to find out what Truss plans.
Well, quite. If the Ukraine war finished tomorrow and gas prices suddenly crashed because sanctions were dropped on Russia, would those people on a more expensive fix still be complaining because they made a risk to fix on a higher rate?

I don't see it myself, it is one of those statistics aiming to scare. A lot will rationalise, cutting staff, cutting what they provide in terms of restaurant services etc. The big brewery owners model is quite broken though and there will be some pain there.

I've started taking a slash outside in the garden.
Saves flushing, I'd be a "If it's yellow let it mellow" kinda guy, but the Mrs would moan.

Good for the compost heap
I know there are issues (people who need high energy use machines like dialysis etc) but I agree.
If you want to mine crypto, or you have a hot tub, heated pool etc etc. Crack on. But you'll be subsidising everyone else.
Income tax generally seems to be regarded as a good system. I think same Principles can apply elsewhere.
It also drives down energy use. Which is important as climate becomes a bigger issue

What a dappy posh bint 
"Edwina Currie is a former British Member of Parliament who has a net worth of $5 million."
So unbelievably out of touch thinking that sticking tin foil behind your radiator and putting another jumper on is going to fix the problems

In normal market conditions sure, I agree with you, but if gov artificially adjust those market conditions, then I think consideration should be made for people on all tariffs and not just SVR.
I would only support this action based on artificial changes elsewhere, otherwise that is what an exit fee is for.
Really though, no concrete plans exist, we are all just theorising at the moment.
No, no-one's concerned at all, it's hardly been mentioned!
Well when I speak to people they don't seem to be aware of businesses not having an energy price cap.
Unless the Government intervenes then businesses will close down and therefore job losses are around the corner.
Or price increases and further inflation
