News: Eon has joined Octopus and British Gas in saying it will pass on the full 1 April 2026 cut in energy bills to all customers, including those on fixes. 1. This is the £150/yr off average bills from the Budget, coming from shifting some policy costs off energy bills and onto general taxation, and cutting the ECO scheme. 2. The cut to the price cap will be via a 3.5p/kWh (c.13%) reduction in electricity prices and a 0.35p/kWh (c.6%) reduction in gas prices, if everything else remains equal. 3. Everything else is unlikely to remain equal, as the April price cap was expected to rise, so the actual pound-in-your-pocket cuts will be a little less than this, currently around a 6% reduction in April's Price Cap over January's is predicted. 4. Eon and Octopus have indicated this will be done by simply cutting all customers’ rates, including those on fixes, by this amount on 1 April. Updated: British Gas has now said it will also do it this way. 5. The government has told me it is pushing all firms to follow suit, as it should. The key for me, though, is how it will be implemented and making sure it is transparent. I believe a straight cut on all bills on 1 April is the cleanest and best way to do it.

🚨 Ex players blaming media for fallout from Jude Bellingham’s petulance is like blaming the mirror for the haircut 🪞 The truth is Bellingham needs to look at himself ⬇️ This is why I think England have a better chance WITHOUT him at the World Cup… dailymail.co.uk/sport/football…


I'm just on my way in to see @RachelReevesMP, I doubt I'll get any budget tip-offs, but there's lots on my list to talk with her about… including Cash ISAs, LISAs, fiscal drag, car finance, investment encouragement, energy bills, inflationary mid-contract price hikes, council tax, carer's allowance, student living loans & more. I find it easier to write this before I go in, as it’s a closed meeting, which enables politicians to be more frank and have a better discussion, but want to let you know the type of things I hope to raise.
