According to the PM this morning. I actually thought it would be worse. At least families will have some certainty.

There are loads of people using that much already.

Surely the fact that there are already people out there using over £3000 worth of energy begs the question, wtf are you running that you use that much?

I have a disabled child who requires particular equipment.

Some people have no idea about other peoples lives.

I don't know why people get annoyed without asking.

If the public haven’t got the intelligence to realise that they can’t use as much as they like and only pay £2500, even if that is what the PM said (& it’s easy enough to check, god knows) then yes, I blame them.

Why aren’t you blaming the PM for not having the intelligence to check she understands her own policies before talking about them to the public?

If it is now the basic assumption that nothing the PM says is true, then isn’t that a problem? It’s certainly a problem with the PM and not with the public.

Did you miss this bit?
(I agree we have a problem with untruthful ?PMs)

Disability and energy use is a huge problem. Most people have no idea and don’t bother to try to understand.

Yep, we have to keep our home warm because of my husbands disability, its one of the many hidden costs of having a disability.

They prefer to believe we’re just being wasteful and walking round in shorts with the heating on, while running saunas and hot tubs. It’s easier and more fun to be judgemental I guess!
