Good to see @Ofcom finally recognising the issue with ambiguity in mid-contract inflation-linked price rises for broadband and mobile customers, something I first wrote about over a year ago ⬇️ https://t.co/AjD74dMH8M

Amazingly helpful advice from the PM here... spend £20 now and cut your energy bill this winter by £10.🥴

Just get a new kettle kids and you’ll save a tenner on your £7,500 energy bills Visionary gibberish from the outgoing PM https://t.co/NCpK0OewOV

Great idea in principle... but how many are really going to sign up to this voluntarily? If you're making a lot of money, prices are unlikely to fall that much, and even if they do you've covered your losses. I think a heavier hand might be needed! https://t.co/6Lu6mAlNbK

A wholesale price cap on renewable energy would both alleviate the cost of energy crisis and enable consumer demand to spearhead the transition to net zero. What is the point of "green energy" tariffs when we continue to pay prices based on global gas markets? This 👇

(Prepay) smart meters remove the need for partnerships with the Post Office and corner shops, so any funding taken from the windfall tax should go towards speeding up the smart meter rollout which removes the admin overheads that make prepayment more expensive in the first place.

Labour’s 1st cost-of-living intervention Reeves says they’d bring pre-payment bills in line w/ direct debit to ensure “no one pays over the odds for the same gas & electricity” It’d cost £113m Oct-March They’d reimburse energy firms using £ raised by fixing HMG’s windfall tax https://t.co/hyxdHy2m2G

Cold homes have a 30% greater risk of excess winter death and cost the NHS £857 million a year. With the energy price cap now set to reach £2,800 from October, the average energy bill will eat up 30% of the state pension. @Ageing_Better @R_S_P_H https://t.co/QDXSiuiIed

Cold homes have a 30% greater risk of excess winter death, with the energy price cap now set to hit £2,800 from October, the Government must do more to prevent older people suffering from cold homes this coming winter. @R_S_P_H @CAenergypolicy https://t.co/QDXSiuiIed

Energy regulation changes bought in this week will prevent customers benefiting from wholesale price drops more than 10% below the cap, and a quarterly price cap could see people struggling to budget over Christmas. My piece in @EnergyVoiceNews ⬇️ https://t.co/RxTf6Ezrq2
