      Shareholders look at this and then think “great” and lobby politicians with donations and gifts to keep it that way.

      For anyone that is interested I would heartily recommend the Octopus Tracker tariff, we have been on it for around 6 months and have saved so much already.

      Would quite fancy a world where essential services *aren’t* used for making profits that line elite pockets.

      probably because our defining feature is wind. which isnt anywhere near as cheap as zealots like to make out.

      >By contrast, UK households pay the ninth lowest gas prices compared to 27 EU countries, at just 8p a unit.

      Could easily have a headline that the UK pays less for gas than the majority of EU countries

      It’s swings and roundabouts on energy prices as there are global market forces, local market forces and government subsides and taxes.

      Getting apple to apple comparisons are difficult and people will ignore what they don’t like and what they do.

      My electric usage is very low, I pay more to the electric bill for the daily standing charge then I do for KW used.

      48p a day is a huge rip off for standing charges. Ive checked around and most suppliers charge about this.

      Before fuel prices went sky high, the standing charge was less then half this…. Why is that?

      At this point I’ve given over caring, I’m drained and the money men win.
      This election? I’ve ignored nearly all of it as its a waste of my time. Nothing will ever change in the uk.

      The government needs to keep the average person happy to the point they won’t rebel.

      They are failing. There eventually will be discontent, maybe.

      But not me. I’m tired and done

      Our gas is one of the cheapest though and makes up the majority of bills

      UK households voted to remove themselves from the protection of the most effective consumer advocate in history.

      Brexit triumphs again.
