Alexander(@alexanderrX_):energy price cap up again in october. £1,723 a year. it was about £1,000 before covid, so that’s 70% in six years, and it just quietly rises every year now like it’s normal. and the government “help” is my favourite bit. they took £150 off your bill in april by moving the cost into general taxation. you’re still paying it, they just moved which pocket it comes out of. cheapest energy in europe should be the single obsession of this country. everything runs on it, every factory, every data centre, every household. instead we’ve got the most expensive electricity in the developed world and a cap that only ever goes one way
