Agree, if they cannot enforce sensible measures (i.e. what's the point in the regulators OFGEM) then nationalising it is on the table.

Have the government given any acknowledgement whatsoever about this whole issue and the potential for what's going to happen next winter? It looks like they are doing nothing and letting it happen, or have a missed something?

Totally, should never have been privatised in the first place sadly that genie is out of the bottle.
A growing percentage of our bills is used to cover various green initiatives, smart meter roll outs and bankrupt suppliers, the cap especially has done far more harm than good.

No, and they won't, it should be plainly obvious from the last 10 years or so that they couldn't give ****, you're on your own.

Connect them up to an exercise bike, it'll keep them warm at the same time.
The trouble is we're being governed by a generation or more of weak, ineffectual career politicians with a complete disconnect from real life, they are extremely wealthy in their own rights and have come from very wealthy, powerful and connected backgrounds.
I just had a quick look on my Bulb account, current usage is £156 a month average, paying £177 direct debit because they insisted before winter I would use more.
Minimum I can change my direct debit to is £212, and theyre recommending I change it to £234.
Gonna be a bumpy ride lol

Renewal cost was £167 PM last week. Now it's £229! 
No options that I can see of. Don't think companies will easily offer that now with what's going on in Ukraine.

Absolutely, even if the price does look horrendous. Choosing to stay on the SVR has probably backfired badly now.
Can only imagine what's going to happen if people have to face £3000 a year energy bills...

If 1500 is the current energy cap. That fix might not be as bad as it looks.

I don't think that £200 loan from Sunak is going to help much...
