RT @theSNP: 🔎 Meanwhile, the Tories have increased National Insurance, a regressive tax that hits working people – while going ahead with a £4bn tax cut for bankers.
It broke the Tory manifesto promise and made the UK the only major economy to put up taxes during the cost of living crisis.

RT @theSNP: 🇧🇪 Belgium has cut VAT on energy from 21% to 6% until July.
In 2016, Boris Johnson and the Brexit campaign said that leaving the EU would mean cheaper energy bills through a VAT cut. They failed to deliver that.

RT @theSNP: 🇩🇪 The German government is giving everyone a one-off €300 payment to help with the cost of living, and a further €100 for each child.
Anybody receiving state benefits will receive an additional €100.
Meanwhile, Rishi Sunak is offering a £200 "heat now, pay later" loan.

RT @theSNP: 🇫🇷 While energy prices in the UK rose by 54%, the French government chose to cap them at 4%.
On top of that, France is providing a €100 payment to low-income households, and introduced a 15 cent-per-litre reduction in fuel prices (compared to 5p in the UK).

🇪🇺 But while EU countries are taking real action on the cost of living crisis, the UK Tory government makes the wrong political choices.

RT @DickWinchester: There is no great North Sea reserve. It's been in decline since the 80s. The viability of what's left is dependent on the oil/gas price. If it's high then more will be extracted. If they're expecting more they're also expecting high prices. That's not good for consumers.

@YourSSE @OVOEnergy
On the 4 Jan 2022 you are charging me for 9876.66 kWh of gas that I didn’t use because my gas boiler has been broken for months before this date. I want a full refund, I had a full service plan but you refused to fix my boiler.

RT @krishgm: For clarity as some facts are being muddled : Channel 4 is state owned but commercially funded by ads and doesn’t get public money. A sell off requires MPs to vote for it. The editorial independence and funding of news can be ring fenced in a sale if govt wants (as sky news)
