@Olgachristie ⭐️ #StandingCharges for poorest customers in UK in Electric &Gas should be changed to how many people using facilities in each dwelling receiving a supply We need to have some fairness in the MarketPlace @Ofgem @MartinSLewis @Margare62438440 @marionste @ThePeoplesHubUK @manatrue
#Newsnight #Peston: #Ofgem was created by #TonyBlair. This very day, it has increased the #EnergyPriceCap by 13 per cent. How is there a cap at all if they keep putting it up? Even the #StandingCharges on #gas and #electricity are 50 times the cost of maintaining the networks, and although they are supposed to protect the suppliers from going bankrupt, not only have they repeatedly failed to do so, but they have never come down when those suppliers have been eye-wateringly profitable. As ever, someone is getting paid. And as ever, it is not us. https://t.co/cIXsxIsPhT
How can it be right that standing charges can be 3x the cost of power used.
Downright THEFT

@JeremyVineOn5 There's already toll roads, called car tax, to fix all roads!
Corrupt politicians use taxpayers to fund their own projects that are not always beneficial to UK citizens & taxpayers!
#StandingCharges on energy bills are an illegal tax since privatisation & #VAT/ #FuelDuty flawed!
@BBCNews @lisanandy you need to order BBC, yet again, about the lies they print on their website.
Recent energy price increase notification wrongly states #StandingCharges pay for the Grid & Network. @ofgem state this is included in electricity & gas unit prices! Stop false news!
@Ed_Miliband @energygovuk Corruption & lies!
Exploiting UK consumers with extortionate prices & illegal #StandingCharges that were only for Treasury revenue to fund public services, not for profit privatisation!
@Keir_Starmer useless by employing corrupt politicians like @Ed_Miliband!
@itvnews @Chrisitv @Ed_Miliband & @ofgem corruption knows no boundaries!
Not only UK consumers exploited with extortionate prices for energy through a fraudulent #PriceCap calculation that only uses inflated gas prices, charges illegal domestic tariffs as #StandingCharges, now we pay others debts!
#Ofgem’s new ‘choice’ on #StandingCharges won’t cut #Bills!... Please Read & RT https://t.co/CMiR1Kxxyj via .

@MartinSLewis @ofgem @ofgem explained network & grid costs are built into energy unit price calculation, which negates the need for #standingcharges! They were a domestic tariff originally but are now a fraudulent profit stream & @Keir_Starmer @RachelReevesMP should remove them immediately!
@OctopusEnergy Explain why zero #standingcharges if connected to the national grid?
The current corrupt arrangement is even zero use, if you're connected in anyway, you give free money to the energy firm, as they say it's the law!
#standingcharges are a domestic tariff to raise free cash! Fraud
Zonal energy pricing binned. But that leaves Scotland with the highest #StandingCharges in Europe.
Standing charges are unfair to many.
Ofgem is giving us a ‘choice’ of standing charge, or none but higher energy price, but really, in my view, these should be binned.
Time is running out to take action on standing charges
There's no time to waste as Ofgem proposes MORE changes to standing charges - and you've got less than 24 hours to have your say @FuelPovAction #StandingCharges #Ofgem All the details below 👇

We have opened a consultation to look at how we could introduce low or zero standing charge tariff options under the price cap.
If implemented, these tariffs would be available by next winter.

#StandingCharges! All that is being suggested is absorbing them into another way of paying the charge ! It will have minimal effect on how much consumers actually pay! Smoke & mirrors! One big con! #Ofgem #BBCBreakfast
When I buy a loaf of bread I don't have to pay a daily standing charge for Tesco's operating cost.
#standingcharges @ofgem
Just got my December “newsletter” from @BritishGas thanking me for contributing to their bumper profits and the eye-watering pay awards given to their executives...
#BBCNews #standingcharges @ofgem
@MartinSLewis @ofgem Why is #PriceCap so high, when wholesale costs have been at lowest levels?
Why are there #standingcharges which are now illegal, as it was originally a tax when industry nationalised?
Why does @ofgem collude with energy firms to artificially inflate the market before #PriceCap?
Communities in north Wales and Merseyside pay £100 more a year than London in electricity standing charges. The present arrangement of standing charges is blatantly unfair and should be shared more fairly across nations of the UK.
#StandingCharges
@JeremyVineOn5 It's a red herring!
#costoflivingcrisis needs fixing such as controlling energy/ fuel firms who are exploiting UK consumers with extortionate prices when wholesale costs at low of 2019 meaning av energy bill is £1k pa overpriced, diesel sb £1 Ltd, scrap #StandingCharges & @ofgem!
@MartinSLewis @susannareid100 @GMB My August electrickery bill. #StandingCharges.
