Our Fair Markets spokesperson @k8_morrison spoke to @LBCNews yesterday about the #CostOfLivingCrisis and the impact soaring energy bills will have on people.

[Robert Leslie @robertleslie69]

Strong comments coming through at #EASconf22 around energy advice and how it needs to be funded longer term to give greater job security, and be recognised in Scotland as a professional skill and service, with proper licencing and a CPD framework. #fuelpoverty #affordablewarmth

Front line community services like South Seeds are key to ensuring people access all the support available to them whilst energy prices are so high. Advice and support which is tailored to individuals needs gets the best outcomes

[Kieron Higgins @HigginsKieron]

New polling for @CitAdviceScot released today shows that more than eight in ten adults in Scotland are concerned about the impact of energy bills on their household budgets.

📈📊 Striking graph from @CitAdviceScot’s latest data report - an 87% increase in views of online advice around help for people to pay energy bills.

Demand was five times higher than pre-pandemic figures.

[Citizens Advice Scotland @CitAdviceScot]

📺 The CAB network saw soaring demand for energy advice following the autumn price cap hike last year.

With a further big rise in bills coming our Fair Markets spokesperson Michael O’Brien spoke to @STVNews

[Kieron Higgins @HigginsKieron]

Analysis from @CitAdviceScot estimates almost half a million people are already cutting back on food to deal with unaffordable bills - and that’s before the impact of the record increase in the price cap announced today.

CABs will be there to help people this crisis.

[Kate Morrison @k8_morrison]

@MartinSLewis @cuddy271 Is rebate the right term when has to be repaid?

[Kate Morrison @k8_morrison]

@MhoraigG Our eldest caught it at school

[Kate Morrison @k8_morrison]

@ElenaWhitham @SP_SJSS An excellent appointment 👏 congrats

[Kieron Higgins @HigginsKieron]

Tomorrow’s @Daily_Record splashes on research from @CitAdviceScot about the scale of the cost of living crisis for consumers. 1 in 3 find energy bills unaffordable.

That’s before a big hike in the price cap in April alongside soaring inflation and flat or falling incomes.
