How the fuck are people genuinely supposed to pay this? Mines gone from 88 a month to 192 now so I’m in the same area as it going to 300+ which is just fucking unthinkable. Makes me sick to my stomach just contemplating that.

VAT and the so called green/social accounts for 18% of the bill for a start and right now, both should be suspended until such a time wholesale costs are at normal levels.
Network costs are also huge and we are paying for private companies to literally make billions.
They either take their fair share of this cost of living crises or we nationalise it and provide our energy at cost!
i think if it goes up to them levels the public will start to mobalise with strikes demos etc.france who are government owned power companies have only put theirs up 5% i read somewhere
Well if it gives up in October by 78% north of £300 palCan’t remember if I asked
But my gas/electric went from £80 a month to now £190
What will I be looking at in January ?
Yep, the green levy can be funded from the additional tax paid on the massive profits of the energy companies. Give the consumer a break.VAT and the so called green/social accounts for 18% of the bill for a start and right now, both should be suspended until such a time wholesale costs are at normal levels.

We are building up money in our EDF account, I’m not arsed if they are getting interest on it I’ve always done this whoever I’m with, it allows me to budget the year. This increase in October if true 78% will swallow that up easily and we can afford it (just) I saw on another thread about attendances at games next season, I think you will see empty stadium unless the price it very very low and even then with petrol cost etc i see the entertainment sector will suffer as we go into a huge recession. I was a young lad in the early 80s but I remember the riots good chance this will happen again, these youngsters in their leased BMWs have hell of a shock coming.
They’re taking the piss.

Ha ha they are in their pockets, Sunak if he doesn’t win will end up working for one of these as a director.Fucking hell.
I mean, I get that if the wholesale price is increasing exponentially then bills are inevitably going to go up but it seems to me that the consumer is taking the full hit and these energy companies are doing nothing on their side as they're only interested in protecting their profits.
The government needs to get a grip and intervene.

Now now - Sunak has said he will scrap the 5% VAT on energy bills if he gets in. As if that's going to make any significant difference when bills are expected to go up by nearly 80% in October!Ha ha they are in their pockets, Sunak if he doesn’t win will end up working for one of these as a director.
Almost certain, even if just to keep warm.It's going to get real messy...its going to kick off big-time
Not too long ago gas was about 2.6p per kWh. Now it’s 7.34p and it’s predicted to go up to 12p in October. Absolute madness. A 5% saving on VAT won’t even scratch the surface.Now now - Sunak has said he will scrap the 5% VAT on energy bills if he gets in.
