The price cap is only £79 below the level at the General Election and the only reason it's fallen at all is because you moved part of the Renewables Obligation cost to taxation

@CamillaTominey Hopefully the HoL can highlight the pernicious and arrogant way @TorstenBell is seeking to manipulate peoples' investments for his own Fabian ideology
Let's hope the HoL reject this and show him he can't ride roughshod over people who have carefully invested for their retirement

They're now pricing in two rate rises this year.
An extraordinary turnaround.
