This is a political failure of the current & last govt, and a regulatory one. The solution is simple... BAN (ABOVE INFLATION) MID CONTRACT PRICE HIKES.
- They took too long to tackle mid-contract above inflation price rises
- When Ofcom did, it just said 'mid contract rises are ok, if you say in £s at sign-up what it'll be'. This has resulted in even bigger % above inflation hikes.
Country is on its arse. How can energy prices rise when they are already making record profits. Sick of going to get the weekly shop from the supermarket and needed a loan to pay it. Everything now is extortionate
@MartinSLewis My Octopus rate went down for 3 weeks but then back up end of the month and has been higher than before the announcement, since end of April.
Nigel Farage secretly accepting a FIVE MILLION POUNDS gift from a Thai-based crypto tycoon is one of the biggest political financial scandals of this or any era.
Farage, for himself not the many.

In the UK you don't even go out anymore. You just step outside and £50 accidentally disappears from your bank account😭.
Even Aldi is becoming a luxury grocery store
@GWRHelp Yes that’s fine but then when half the train was seated(in random) seats the system was turned back on with no further announcement resulting in the second half of the passengers wanting to get into their booked seats without the knowledge it was cancelled initially
@GWRHelp don’t announce reservations aren’t working then switch them back on when train is over half full and make no further announcements!! #seatshenanigans
The UK has just introduced a per-mile tax for driving your car.
To start with it’s just 3p per mile and just for electric cars.
Going to visit your family who live 3 hours away will now cost you £10 extra every time.
But then it will obviously become 5p and then 10p and then £1 all in the name of “saving the environment”.
And then it’s won’t just be electric cars, but every car on the road.
This won’t take long either. Just watch.
“Yes, you do have freedom of movement, but your trip to Nottingham to see your elderly parents will cost you £300 in tax”.
An entirely backward policy that stifles conversion to electric, penalises people who live in rural parts of the UK, and adds another Big Brother lens watching your every move.
Rich people driving 5 miles from Mayfair to meet friends at the restaurant = negligible tax.
Regular people living in north England driving 100 miles a day to do 2x school runs and get to/from work will just have to find £15 a week in extra tax from the magic money tree.
Another policy that shows the Government is out of ideas.
Hotels that don’t allow AC below 20 degrees… STOP THIS MADNESS.
20 is too hot at night. I’ve paid to stay in what should be a comfortable room and it’s just too hot. I’m seeing this a lot now.
I’m up for saving energy, of course I am, but restricting the ventilation and temperature is not reasonable. Put solar on the roof. Utilise cheap overnight energy. Add £1 to my bill then if you have to.
I hate this new trend. Last two hotels I’ve stayed in have just been hot. This the uk and it’s cold outside yet something below and around is warm so the room is warm and it needs to be cooler even though windows are open. Ac is fitted but despite going to reception it’s still not cool.
Rant over .goodnight
We need market reform to stop relentless price cap rises.
It cost billpayers £100m to turn off wind farms in the last week.
No wonder generators don't want locational pricing.
This isn't Octopus vs incumbents, it's consumers vs producers.
