I'm already paying £310. It went up last month from £177. Going to be £500 minimum for me.

I’m just clocking in at just short of £300 a month so fully expect to add another £150 a month on top.

As far fetched as it sounds I think you may be right.

There's strong rumours that many are planning on cancelling their direct debits as a protest against it. Let's be clear on this. This has nothing to do with the economy as the companies themselves are pocketing record profits. Fuel companies are exploiting the war in Ukraine to hold us all hostage in the full knowledge that their biggest competitior - Gazprom, a Russian provider, no longer supply the rest of Europe. When the competition disappears you can charge what you want.

It's daylight feckin robbery. We're on the edge of civil war in this country and the government are sleepwalking us into it. This winter will be the breaking point for many and there's only so much you can take before you fight back. Unions will rise (if they're still allowed by then), people will fight and the economy will hit the floor. We're on the verge I think of the most catastrophic point in our history. The Tories, Covid, Brexit and War. The four horsemen of the apocalypse.

i agree
this winter and next year will be the most volatile and dangerous period Britain has experienced since WWII

enough is enough

when 50%+ of the population are up shat creek, whilst the fat cats are raking in record profits an uprising will follow

I might ask my provider to send me my contract so I can question where I agreed to pay these rates ?

Only up 4% in France because their love of protest matches their love of surrendering.

I absolutely agree. It reminds me of the 70's when virtually the whole country was on strike for one reason or another.

They didn’t surrender in the face of possible high fuel bills.

Uk populous will get tired of bending over time and time again.

The cancelling of direct debits is a good way to begin. Money is better in your account than in the energy company accounts.

Also makes it easier to not pay a disputed bill. It makes them react quicker to provide redress

Absolutely spot on. I expect a lot more strikes in the coming months unless the Government soften this blow.

Liz Truss looks more and more like Thatcher now. Unfortunately it is poll tax Thatcher rather than her prime

The tories banned us from protesting. England voted them in. Stop moaning and either apologise, or take some responsibility for who you voted for. Then apologise again.

I know and in the first televised debate she mentioned how hard it was growing up in the 1980’s.

Someone should remind her who was the PM for the whole of the 1980’s

Relax. I’m just referring to the country situation in general. The country will reach the breaking point when Liz takes over
