⚡️ This week, we spoke to industry experts about energy bills and domestic customers.
👇 Here's what Simon Francis from End Fuel Poverty Coalition had to say about the costs of rising debt:
Would help if local authorities were not allowed to lump heating/hot water charges in with rent, then use this energy debt to threaten evictions. Lambeth appear to be the only council hell bent on making our lives a misery. Debt causes stress. #LambethInTheHotSeat #FuelPoverty

Everyone has the right to a clean, warm home and not have to worry about whether to put the heating on or have a meal. End Fuel Poverty Coalition
Fuel Poverty must end. The energy rip off must end.
Lives at risk for the sake of profits must end.

This winter, 2.2 million households could have been spared from fuel poverty with the implementation of an energy social tariff. 😡
Yet, the Government has failed to deliver on its promise, leaving millions in desperate need of support.

This is horrific.
One in five people in energy debt have turned to illegal money lending sources in the last 12 months.
We need:
- A help to repay scheme for those in energy debt
- Better training for energy firm agents
- Better regulation of energy debt

Craig Kelly 500 years ago the Aztecs made human sacrifices to their sun god and there is evidence human sacrifices were made throughout the bronze age, unfortunately the climate cult are still sacrificing humans believing it will prevent catastrophic global warming:

This is NOT wholesale price - this is consumer (Household (Domestic) pricing) and people wonder why we have #Fuelpoverty , people on #PrePaymentMeters #ppms unable to top-up their meters and forced to self-disconnect.

A reminder from Simon Francis of End Fuel Poverty Coalition that even when prices drop on 1st April, we're still paying 60% more than winter 2020-21. The #energycrisis has cost households an average of £2300. We need to work harder to reduce #fuelpoverty and give folk warm homes #EASCONF24
