@OctopusEnergy @OVOEnergy Thank you.

[S. Akhtar @sn_akhtar]

@OctopusEnergy Already contacted you. You completely ignored my actual meter reading. I even told you my bills with @OVOEnergy never went above £50 (and my usage was higher back then). Now you're charging more for less and asking for £80 just to "investigate"? Ridiculous. @OctopusEnergy

📗New CPC-CG Policy Briefing

For individuals from the Chinese community in the UK, findings show a lack of trust in the government and #pension systems, meaning more personal savings, self-reliance, & family support for financial security in later life.

The G20 Summit and its bilateral meetings concluded today in New Delhi.

The New Delhi Declaration shows that our Presidency was able to table ideas, shape global issues, bridge divides and forge consensus. We kept the focus on Global South.

We showcased our civilizational heritage even as we highlighted contemporary achievements.

Landmark initiatives launched included the Global Biofuel Alliance and the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC).

Key 5️⃣ outcomes:

1️⃣ Green Development Pact

2️⃣ Action Plan on Sustainable Development Goals

3️⃣ High level principles on Anti Corruption

4️⃣ Support for Digital Public Infrastructure

5️⃣ Reform of Multilateral Development Banks

The G20 membership of the African Union was a major achievement.

PM @narendramodi’s vision gave the Summit a clear direction for growth and development in the years ahead.
