Can you afford to pay triple last year’s prices for energy? The average household bill will now be £3,549 a year. For three months. Then it will rise again in November.
I’m sure the great and the good will tell us to turn down our thermostats and wear a jumper. I bet you never thought of that! But you still need to boil your kettle and cook your tea. You still need to shower and turn on your washing machine. If there’s a baby in the house, you need to keep it warm.
If you’ve got a chronic chest condition, you need the air warm and dry, not cold and damp. And if you’re working from home this winter, will your employer compensate you for your energy bills? Will we get a tax break for subsidising the economy from our home-offices?
