2. It's worth nothing at all to anyone who has had to stop using electricity altogether. It might pay off part of the standing charge debt on their meter, but it won't get them ⚡ . 5/10

Do people get equal or fair outcomes from this system?
1. It's worth more to the wealthy and home owners than it is to the poor and those in rented accommodation where prepay meters are installed. They get less power for £66 than a direct debit customer. 4/10

Will the £66 carry over to the next month if you economise one month to save for a bitter winter later? Or does it disappear into the energy company, whether or not they supplied you with any electricity? Unclear. 3/10

£66 a month credit on your account.
What if you're too hard up and can't afford to use any electricity? Been cut off? The company gets the money anyway and you need to use some to get it. Or, if not on DD, you get a voucher for your pre pay meter. 2/10

Just take a look at this, how this £400 grant is supposed to work.
You don't get any money to spend on what you most need.
Your electricity company gets some money, whether you buy any electricity from them or not. 1/10

RT @CarolineRussell: 🔥Firefighters rightly calling for a disposable BBQ ban.
🔥Fire risk is urgent, and there’s very good health reasons to ban them too.

RT @greenmattbfd: The scorn that Labour members have for @TheGreenParty members and our unapologeticly pro-union stance is staggering
Pro-TU Labour members should be happy that at least one of the major British parties is standing in solidarity with unions ...
... Because Labour certainly isn't.

RT @MichaelAbberton: So the £400 loan (that bit seemed to be forgotten on #r4today) will be paid not into your bank account but directly into your energy DB. Sunak is subsidising energy company profits indirectly and we pay twice. How did that happen? #EnergyCrisis

RT @RMTunion: Paul, the @RMTunion dispute is not about train drivers pay, but it says a lot that your first instinct is to say 'I will never use trains in this country ever again' rather than 'I'm going to campaign for better wages for teachers and nurses.'
Punch up, not down.

@LLocock I imagine the Tories will decree that all schools must include statues of key heroes of the empire and white supremacists in every school museum or city trip to make sure people start to notice it and are indoctrinated about it.

RT @GDauwen: @Taj_Ali1 Maybe journos could ask Fizzy Lizzy or Fishy Sunak if they would consider a French solution? To nationalise energy and ask oil companies to lower prices if they want to avoid an extra tax on additional profits…

RT @Taj_Ali1: Despite record profits, British Gas have also attacked the pay and conditions of their own workers by threatening mass layoffs of employees, with the goal of ultimately rehiring them on less favourable contracts without having to negotiate over terms.
