Don't Pay Birmingham

Rishi Sunak won't have any trouble heating his mansions and pools this winter. How can we expect someone whose family wealth is valued at £730 million to act in our interests? We need to #TakeBackPower from unelected multi-millionaires and profiteering energy companies.

Tonight!

We now know that @dontpayuk strategy works. A short🧵 ... Leaks from E.on confirmed the strategy works They described the threat of a strike as an “existential threat”, and went straight to Kwasi Kwarteng, demanding he do something Here’s one of the slides they showed him...

We should be talking about Don't Pay's pivotal role in sending the government into a tailspin, argues Keir Milburn. novaramedia.com/2022/10/18/don…

The Energy Price Guarantee was never a guarantee at all. We’re already paying record-high, unaffordable prices and now the government is already u-turning on their inadequate #EnergyBills support. We're left facing another massive hike in just a few months. #DontPayUK

And now the Tories want to ban #solarpower from most farmland in England. They're not even trying to hide being in thrall to #FossilFuel interests are they? theguardian.com/environment/20…

While we struggle to pay the bills, company CEO Keith Anderson earned at least £494k last year, while the ultimate boss of Scottish Power took home at least £5.49m. The company has donated £48k to the Tory party over the last ten years @dontpayuk @dontpaywales @dontpayeastLDN
