Standing charges - you are paying for them to put a not so smart meter in your home not once but twice not and won’t be long before smets 3 will coming out when are people gonna learn it’s about their profits not saving you money it’s so they can change a tariff electronically and cut you off without any notice when there’s not enough electricity being produced
Greedy energy companies feeding themselves and their corporate shareholders! We not just pay a bill for what we use, but also pay to have their meter in our home(disgusting standing charge) plus a another tariff is subtracted for green schemes (sustainability) we are cash cows!!!
Remember the good old days when there was one national company and one price for all. We were told that competition would reduce bills, what absolute rubbish!
How do you let pensioners go cold - your OWN people in their OWN country?? Really - disgraceful - many elderly people simply do not understand- tariffs and subsidies etc etc etc - so many will go cold !!!!!!
WEF , elderly , sick and infants are considered a liability or expense to the states bank balance , crazy ..they helped build the country where it is, now that's the thanks they get !
Standing charges doubled overnight. So even if you try to use as little gas & electric as possible, they still shaft you for an extra £25 a month on top of what you actually use. Rip off Britain.
I phoned my energy company for help last year, in tears as I'd just got out of hospital, and had no money to put on gas. They told me they couldn't help me. I had to wait two days for my daughter to come back off her holiday.
Its ridiculous he's got plenty bloody money abd gets thousands fir heating. The heating is absolutely ridiculous going up every 3 month for over two years.and then charged tax and for been in houses
Surely a social tariff would simply bump up the costs for the rest of us. Both my husband and I work, we live in an old, cold house, resort to wearing 10 layers of clothes and still pay crazy bills. I simply cannot afford any more.

I’m a pensioner and feel absolutely betrayed by this government. Like a lot of others. I have worked 52 years, for what?? My income as dropped by 50% and nobody seems to care

Whats the use of king charles ? Its not political for him to pull starmer up and ask him why he keeps lieing to his subjects.charles saying nothing means he is complicit in starmers actions
Why do people keep saying there is help out there. No there isn’t if you are not on pension credit level. People on full pension 11500 or over are not eligible for anything. The minimum wage is 18500 and the benefit cap is 23k yes that’s right 23k in non taxable benefits for non pensioners, Get your head around that. Pensioners are 3rd class citizens after working and contributing for 40-50 years. It’s a disgrace.
It's because we are born and bred here pay into the system just to keep illegal immigrants warm and fed that is what the government think of you you are now taking money back from the system and they don't like that they want you to die quietly and don't complain
I am a pensioner currently sitting here with NO heating on. It is the uncertainty of it all that really bothers me and I have NO wish to pay a penny for so called green energy.
I've lived in Spain gas heating is a third of the cost as in GB. And the price regulated. Our utilities are owned in large part by the Spanish and the French.
Never mind "Social Tariff" bullshit; energy prices should be lowered and the same for all... without the OUTRAGEOUS standing charge, especially on electricity. Personally, I'd send Starmer and Milliband to Siberia...

I have four layers on including two woollen sweaters. I have thick jogging bottoms on and this morning, over the lot, I've had to put my dressing gown on. Minutes ago i had to turn my heating up by two degrees as i am so cold.

I'm one of thousands of people who live off grid, i cant afford to run my generator because i can no longer buy red diesel from the local garage. I spend 18 hours a day with no power or heating. Just cant afford to live
We are in the freezing cold this morning, due to a fractured mains gas pipe in the town we live, which has incapacitated central heating boilers throughout our district. This is ongoing as I comment - I wonder for how long? So much for the exorbitant cost of the Standing Charge, let alone the cost of energy itself. Thank goodness we have our wood burning stove in the living room. Pity we don't have a fireplace in every room!!
Yes our wood burner is a lifeline - just reading another commentor in Bulgaria whose bills are around £50 a month and he says we are being ripped off and I agree with him !
Yes, it seems that we in the UK are paying more for our own North Sea Gas than do other European countries who buy much of their gas off us! It is indeed a rip off - a tax through the back door.@@conrod7
Actually, years ago in the 50s our marionette did have a small fireplace in every room, and at least we could afford coal and smokeless fuel which kept us warmer than we are now.😢
To compound matters worse, as the interviewee stated, once the installation is complete, it doesn't need any further work because they don't usually go wrong. Also we don't just pay Vat on the service provided we also have to pay it on the standing charge, which amounts to around £330 in my case and is, essentially the energy providers burden, to maintain their supply infrastructure.
I'm sitting here watching my breath. I go to bed fully clothed, I have crap economy 7 storage heater that I've only ever turned on once due to it costing me £7 a day (for little to no heat) I pray to god this cold weather passes soon.

I lived in a small cottage before I got married to my now husband and had a economy 7 heater. It was a nightmare as you cannot predict how cold it will be in advance to set the heater. I got an electric fan heater which did help. Also hot water bottles if it is colder to go to bed and extra blankets. I crochet myself some extra blankets as it was snowing any very cold.

I'm one of thousands of people who live off grid, i cant afford to run my generator because i can no longer buy red diesel from the local garage. I spend 18 hours a day with no power or heating. Just cant afford to live
Hang on in there Hun. God bless and protect you and yours x
This lady is absolutely right about energy price tariffs.
We are in the freezing cold this morning, due to a fractured mains gas pipe in the town we live, which has incapacitated central heating boilers throughout our district. This is ongoing as I comment - I wonder for how long? So much for the exorbitant cost of the Standing Charge, let alone the cost of energy itself. Thank goodness we have our wood burning stove in the living room. Pity we don't have a fireplace in every room!!
Yes our wood burner is a lifeline - just reading another commentor in Bulgaria whose bills are around £50 a month and he says we are being ripped off and I agree with him !
Hope they don't come over your stove next you know carbon footprint, climatehoax, net zero bs
Yes, it seems that we in the UK are paying more for our own North Sea Gas than do other European countries who buy much of their gas off us! It is indeed a rip off - a tax through the back door.@@conrod7
Actually, years ago in the 50s our marionette did have a small fireplace in every room, and at least we could afford coal and smokeless fuel which kept us warmer than we are now.😢
To compound matters worse, as the interviewee stated, once the installation is complete, it doesn't need any further work because they don't usually go wrong. Also we don't just pay Vat on the service provided we also have to pay it on the standing charge, which amounts to around £330 in my case and is, essentially the energy providers burden, to maintain their supply infrastructure.
Liar is an understatement
I'm sitting here watching my breath. I go to bed fully clothed, I have crap economy 7 storage heater that I've only ever turned on once due to it costing me £7 a day (for little to no heat) I pray to god this cold weather passes soon.
I’m exactly the same. It’s 4 degrees in my home at the moment, even my dog has got his winter jacket on!!!
@@LadyAnnaBelle-007UK Keep your chin up anna and drink lots of hot drinks, its looking like its going to warm up from tomorrow., albeit 60mph winds but better than getting frostbite x
I lived in a small cottage before I got married to my now husband and had a economy 7 heater. It was a nightmare as you cannot predict how cold it will be in advance to set the heater. I got an electric fan heater which did help. Also hot water bottles if it is colder to go to bed and extra blankets. I crochet myself some extra blankets as it was snowing any very cold. Take care of yourself and warm your body to keep warm.
Starmer didn't lie. He said he'd freeze our energy bills (just omitted to mention our homes would also be frozen in consequence 🥶).
Wind farms and solar don't produce enough electricity that's why it's imported from France who charge an absolute fortune
