Energy bills WILL rise by £900 in April and the Tories don’t care
Burning your money: ironically, the next energy price hike will give the privatised providers even more of your money to burn.
It’s happening, then.
Despite Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis pleading with Rishi Sunak and Jeremy Hunt to use a fraction of the money they’ll save when wholesale energy prices fall in July on cutting bills between April and then, the Tories have turned a deaf ear and are bent on further-impoverishing us all.
Let’s remember one very important fact:
UK Energy corps made £60 billion profit last year.
They made £billions of it speculating on the wholesale gas market.
Today, Ofgem announced your bills will go up 20% more in April.
This is the most revolting & disgusting exploitation of ordinary people in modern times.

There’s a lot of disgust with Ofgem for allowing the price to rocket:
Ofgem are not regulators. They are enablers.
I unreservedly condemn the 20% increase in your energy bills.

But here’s the kicker:
Energy bills have risen nearly 10 times faster than wages, TUC analysis showshttps://t.co/kXfEyx6AdD

Energy bills have risen 10 times faster than wages, but the government – Sunak and Hunt again – are keeping wages down and still funnelling cash to these big energy firms.
And let’s not forget that the Tories created these firms by privatising national utilities, back in the 1980s.
They said at the time that privatisation would allow more investment to go into the service, providing power to the nation at a cheaper price.
And people believed it!
Those were more innocent times. And, for “innocent”, read “naive”.
Anyway, there it is.
You need to find another £900 per year for energy, starting in 32 days’ time. That’s £500 for the new increase, plus £400 to make up for the Tory grant that has helped keep your bill down until now.
