It's quite likely a death sentence for some people with no fixed deal or solar panels.
This is getting ridiculous (energy prices - Strictly NO referrals!)

Something I never realised until the other day is that if you have "life saving" or medical equipment in your home you apparently don't get any help with the cost of running it (in terms of electricity) above what you might be eligible for as pip/dla (which is likely already going to be going towards other disability related costs such as transport or paying for carers).

Rather crass when people are suffering.

Yeah was kind of surprised (but also not surprised in another way) to hear that was the case. Seems to me like putting some funding towards subsidising energy bills for those running medical equipment might have been a better use of government time than planning out a £200 not-a-loan for everyone, which will hardly put a dent in the increased costs for the most vulnerable.
Don't worry the rise will catch to up, it's going to be one hell of a jump from 2021 prices to, 2024 pricesFixed until Oct 2024

The poor (and not so poor) and disabled are going to be in real trouble, the government needs to get a grip and quickly. We're lucky as we fixed for 3 years late last year before prices went mental, but I have real sympathy for people not in that position.

It's feels so good to be right for a change.
The classy move would have been to keep it to yourself...
This evening Channel 4 news article on impact of energy hike - those people clearly weren't told about the dress code.

Oh come on £50 quilt a day! Was she running her heating & hot water at peak times with thermaflow it don't make sense and she was the only one in Falkirk media a mother of two?
THERMAflow boilers are designed to work on any tariff.

So from tomorrow will my electric prepayment meter just gobble up the electric twice as fast?
shes got electric heaters in each room or something..
the old pensioner 390 a month? what? I'm only about 50(100soon)a month and I'm in the house 24/7 almost sitting on a pc wasting my life away.
I always eat hot meals too and never get takeaway or eat out.. this pensioner probably has an electric blanket and electric heaters or shes growing something green

Exactly. Look at the state of the waste in public services, what you think you'd save in moving things to state owned would pale in comparison to the lost efficiency!
I don't think summer will be too bad. It won't be great. But hopefully people will manage.
But come this winter.. Well. All bets are off.
If there is no more help than now loads are going to die.
Future is genuinely bleak as it stands today.

..or the classy move would have been just to have seen my post, interpret as dark humour and move on.
