These rates are meant to be in place until end of September 2024. So, when's a guarantee not a guarantee? When it's the government's Energy Price Guarantee. These capped unit rates on your whole domestic bill now only in place until the end of March, it seems. No detail on what happens next, but hi...

It’s been explained terribly which, given the huge sums of money involved, is absolutely terrible politics. Or is it just me not paying enough attention? I don’t know. No, you're right. The headlines about "capped at £2,500" are meaningless to most people as that's all based on an average...

I was horrified to learn that those insert coin meters are still in some houses. How will those be dealt with? Those must surely be horrible landlords ensuring a tenant is paying upfront for electricity, rather than an energy company still utilising these? I can't imagine any supplier is going arou...
