I am in the process of bailing out of this discussion, but my final point will be the problem here is the poorer you are, the bigger the impact of these increases as a % of income, thats why we are saying these unprecedented payments are not enough even though this kind of thing has never been done before. The issues really started ramping up on bill defaults after the April increase. This is why I said a cost of 25% above the already unaffordable April increase is too much, I hope you at least understand this.

1,2 or 3 on a coin toss, GD vote on console.
Feels very speakers corner in here.
Anyway.... I worry a lot won't realise how much they will be paying until their first October bill. Just thinking hey its £2500/12. I can only help and advise friends and family so much unfortunately.

If you didn't want to hear an honest response to your disgusting point of view about those least fortunate in our society, you should have kept it to yourself.
Don't start with that "if you didn't want the answer you shouldn't have asked" crap to defend your utterly insensitive, disrespectful and frankly abhorrent comment.
Yes they do.. and it's STILL NOT ENOUGH... stop crying about the fact you don't get anything with your (self-confessed) "good, well paid job" while "earning a decent living". Try actually imagining what life would be like stuck on Universal Credit, wheelchair or bedbound and then consider how ****ing lucky you are.
You would say that. Ordinary people don't feel it necessary to be spamming internet forums unless they're an insecure attention seeker who desperately wants someone to listen. Most of their content is low value opinionated nonsense, and the majority of people who reply are just like them.
Almost feels like it has been done deliberately that way for months.. Constant media spouting "average bills to rise to x" instead of just giving actual unit pricing. It's like even in the midst of trying to "fix" things, they're still being somewhat dishonest and could easily lead to some people assuming it's a £2500/yr cap regardless.

Government backed loans from what I understand, which bridge the gap between the cap and the market price. These need to be paid back by the energy firms.
As ever, just like the unit price of the cap, the media is extremely light on details.
In order to deliver energy at this lower cost, suppliers will be offered government-backed loans that they can use to cover rising wholesale gas.

If it transpires that it's not loans and 100% funded by the tax payer that is pretty poor. Though either way, even if it were to be a windfall tax, the public/consumers pay for it in the end.
Why bother posting here if you feel that way. I guess insulting half the forum is not a good look for you tbh, as if your highly opinionated posts were not bad enough already.

2.5k for the average home. We still don't seem to know what the unit costs are.
I think the issue with the government backed loans idea is I expect the government would have paid anyway. But a government backed loan would probably have higher interest than normal government debt. There is also the unpopularity of further increasing the SC to pay it back.

Its something like a 25% increase on current unit costs.

Bank of England have delayed the announcement of the next interest rate

If anything it gives them more time to figure out what they're going to do because they clearly didn't have the details anywhere near finalised yesterday when they announced it.

Think the unit rates will be higher than that as they won't be reduced by the £400 discount, so the rates will be based on an average price of £2500 and then they will discount the monthly bill by ~£66 over winter.Martin Lewis says:
