Guernsey Electricity is carrying £48m in expensive bank debt, forcing steep tariff hikes on us.

Yet the States is sitting on £140m of unallocated 2014 bond cash.

Why won’t P&R change the rules, refinance this debt cheaply, and shield islanders from inflation-busting bills?

@spice62005527 @Lindsay_Gsy any answers?

[Kate Collins @fattyguern]

I'm currently in Jersey, and even with GST their fuel is cheaper. Can someone explain that to me please? Their food is also cheaper, so where the heck are we going wrong in Guernsey?

[Kate Collins @fattyguern]

@DavidPiesing63 @pvbsc1 But shopping in M&S food is cheaper in Jersey than in Guernsey. How?

[Kate Collins @fattyguern]

@PeterGr89539754 Yes food is cheaper, eating out is cheaper

[Kate Collins @fattyguern]

@pvbsc1 But food is also cheaper which I also don't understand

[Kate Collins @fattyguern]

@pvbsc1 It's the same in jersey

[Kate Collins @fattyguern]

does anyone know who sits on States Property Services please? @gavinstpier @MsTinaBury @YvonneBurford @Lindsay_Gsy

[Kate Collins @fattyguern]

@JohnFernandez1 Long overdue, but I'm sceptical that there are enough open minds within the States or Guernsey

[Kate Collins @fattyguern]

@gavinstpier @BBCGuernsey What if a single mum earns just above £50k but is already struggling due to high mortgage interest and no help from the father of her children? In essence she is being punished for working hard

[Kate Collins @fattyguern]

@Katieci Could you let me know where to pick it up from please?

@PeterRoffey5 @alasdair_milroy @matt_fallaize @pvbsc1 I shall. How is best to contact you?

[Kate Collins @fattyguern]

@PeterRoffey5 @alasdair_milroy @matt_fallaize @pvbsc1 What about those that own a property but are single with children? What help do they get?

[Kate Collins @fattyguern]

@MaryLowe501 @gavinstpier A lot of the staff tried to oppose centralisation and confirmed it would never work, and then MyGov came in. They weren't listened to either. Gavin is very good at spin politics but appears to have a very poor memory of what he has supported in the past

@MaryLowe501 @Govgg I'm not sure, but you need a QR code to get on a school bus and I think you have to register to get the code. Some kids might just want to go to town after school, so they hop on the public bus

[Kate Collins @fattyguern]

@MaryLowe501 @Govgg The school have asked students to use the school buses more x

@JohnFernandez1 I love this film, I'm definitely going to watch it
