How are you finding the extra £3k for utilities?

Thing is, it isn't just utilities that will go up. All businesses will have their costs go up and so will push them onto the consumer.

Meanwhile the british government are still pissing about without any credible leadership

My boyfriend locked his electricity rate in and it will remain that rate for the foreseeable...it's insane I know but we're only paying £42 a month.

No idea. I guess I’ll give up eating or something. Not even joking.
I probably won't. All I can do is hope our government won't let people literally starve and comes up with some extra compensation somehow.
@NerdyPotato you have that faith?
@InOtterWords I have hope still, but certainly not faith 🥲

@InOtterWords Lucky really, our provider went bust over a year ago, before the rush of closures. The best deal available was already a big increase.

Obviously I am not in UK, but I've already paid a crazy amount for one month of electricity and they say its going to go up another third.. It's kinda insane
@SW-User it is why i went back to work

@InOtterWords it's almost like a loan payment it's gone so bad
@SW-User people will get desperate. Crime will increase.

I don't know how anyone thinks this level can be maintained?

The British government seems to have been having trouble with competent leadership for some time now. Not that I have much room to speak as an American. 😅
@ViciDraco it has been a long while
We're in a better of position than we were last month.

@InOtterWords Not so much as other countries with the heating.

Its great not being able to afford anything.

The rich get richer, the poor get poorer, and I find myself drawn back towards crime.
