@ATVIAssist im unable to log in to an account that is linked to my PS4. I dont remember the PW. Tried sending a link, but nothing comes through. Tried logging in via platform just get error msg. Your support page just sends me round in circles. Please help.

@LucyPip20032481 @MartinSLewis @itvMLshow Ah yes I see what you mean. 👍

@WorcesterNFFC @MartinSLewis @itvMLshow My question is why is it fair to treat oil users differently to gas users?

Got questions on the Middle East conflict impact on bills and what you can do about it, including energy, heating oil, petrol, mortgages and more? That's our focus on tomorrow's @itvMLshow, pls suggest questions by reply...

@flutterbump @MartinSLewis @itvMLshow The energy price cap doesn't benefit everyone. It doesn't benefit heating oil users because heating oil isn't capped therefore oil companies can take the p%££ and charge what they like

@MartinSLewis @itvMLshow If the energy price cap benefits everyone, why does support for those of using heating oil not do the same?

@LucyPip20032481 @MartinSLewis @itvMLshow You've answered you're own question. The price cap is for all gas users, heating oil isn't capped therefore they are paying much more than those on gas.

@MartinSLewis @itvMLshow Why is support for heating oil users not available to ALL of us, when the price cap is for ALL gas users? Just because we aren’t classed as “low income” doesn’t mean we can afford to pay double for our fuel!

@MartinSLewis @itvMLshow Why is the middle east conflict effecting the prices for oil in particulat domestic heating oil which I am on, when the UK purchases most of its oil from Norway and US

@EnglandRugby Why the fck did he head for the corner and not under the posts. Miss the conversion. I do wonder what is between the ears of some of these players.

Ollie Chessum reads it like a book 📘 #FRAvENG | #GuinnessM6N

Why the heck didnt Chessum run his try in under the posts instead of diving for the corner? England miss the con. Makes no sense #FRAVENG #brainless

@MartinSLewis The bit I dont get Martin, is the uk buys most of its oil from US and Norway, so why is the Iraq war effecting us so much. Or is it a case of the oil companies using it as an excuse to exploit us?

HOME HEATING OIL & LPG CRISIS This is a short summary of issues identified from 1,000s responses we (MSE) have had to build a dossier to send to govt... 1. SHARP PRICE INCREASES. A typical pattern is prices increasing from 55p to 65p per litre to £1.20 to £1.45 per litre or £1.60+ per litre if a delivery is needed quickly. - Prices have surged leaving some households unable to afford essential heating - Reports of supply shortages, with some firms not quoting at all for bulk deliveries, stating “no stock” or “no oil available” - Households told only smaller boxes are available for £3.15 per litre around 5x the normal bulk delivery price. - Some considering or actually switching off heating to preserve what little oil they had left - Severe emotional and financial strain especially for older, disabled and low‑income households 2: UNFAIR PRACTICES. Orders not being fulfilled as expected, even when placed earlier or already paid for. - Firms cancelling already‑placed orders, even fully paid ones or demanding more money - Re‑quotes after cancellation massively increase the price, leaving households financially exposed - New ‘price‑on‑delivery‑day’ policies remove price certainty and shift all risk onto consumers, who have no idea of cost - People running out of oil, including medically vulnerable users, feel forced to accept inflated prices - Problems with refunds and additional surcharges on refunds 3: LACK OF REGULATION- "IT'S THE WILD WEST" There is widespread anger that heating‑oil is an “unregulated, unprotected” market. - People feel abandoned, heating oil & LPG users have no regulator, no affordability support, and no safety net. - People are confused about their rights and whether many current practices are even legal We will be sending a larger version today to the top of the Department for Energy and working on a full portfolio of problems and case studies to send in a week on top to the CMA and Energy Committee.

You know its gonna happen! Tudor sacked after Liverpool game. Dyche comes in, first game at home v Forest. They win. Dyche saves Spurs from relegation. Nuno saves WH from relegation. #nffc go down 🤦‍♂️

@NFFC Not at £70 a ticket, its called taking the piss out of supporters

Another special night awaits under the City Ground lights on Thursday. 💫 We are pleased to confirm that Season Card holders and MyForest Members can now purchase tickets at a discounted rate, with £10 off the original ticket price.

@MartinSLewis @Ed_Miliband A few days later and its now 129ppl. Totally taking the piss.

@MartinSLewis @Ed_Miliband We're on heating oil and pricing went from 60ppl to 95ppl overnight. Oil companies taking the mickey given that petrol prices only rose a few pence.

Just got off the phone after @Ed_Miliband called to discuss in detail the problems people are facing with domestic energy bills and heating oil. Here's what I fed through - your feedback would be useful... 1. HEATING OIL: This is the most immediate concern as many, often in rural areas or N. Ireland, are refuelling their tanks. Prices have rocketed, a few even suggest they've nearly doubled in a week. My biggest concerns are... a) Those who can't afford the new price b) Lack of specific regulation as heating oil isn't covered by Ofgem (though that's a longer-term issue) c) Some have anecdotally reported existing booked-in orders being cancelled, and being asked to rebook at much higher prices. I want to firm up whether this is widespread... I'd like to hear specific examples of how much prices are rising, especially of point c) and will pass them through to the Department for Energy. 2. CONSUMER GAS & ELECTRICITY BILLS: This is less imminent, but a potential ticking cost time-bomb. I'm focused on the Eng, Scot & Welsh system here... - In the short term: Most bills are protected from the spike in wholesale energy prices as the Energy Price Cap is set based on a significant time-lag. In fact it is locked in to DROP 6.7% in April. Those not on the Price Cap are mainly on existing fixes (which, due to unprecedented prior policy changes, will see most suppliers cut existing fix rates on 1 April, typically by 7% to 9%) so are also price protected for now. One current concern is the lack of availability of cheap fixes. While that's frustrating, in the short term it means those whose existing fixes are ending, will just (hopefully temporarily) need to move on to the Price Cap. There are also a minority of homes who are immediately affected, eg, those on time-of-use tariffs. These include Octopus Agile & Tracker, which move half-hourly or daily with wholesale rates. These are sophisticated user tariffs, and if necessary people have the short term option to switch back to a Price Cap tariff (though do check for restrictions on how long before you can switch back). So while none of that is great, it isn't crisis point. - The end of May is likely crunch time: This is usually when the next Price Cap (July to Sept) is announced. It currently seems very likely it will rise, though just how much all depends on how long lived the current energy price spike is. Yet the key is whether wholesale rates have dropped back down or not by that point. If they have, while the Price Cap rise will annoy many, it won't be critical for most for two reasons i) The July to Sept Price Cap is usually the lowest use period. So, even if typical use rose £200/yr, in practice this'd just be, at a guess, an extra £30 to £40 paid over the period. If by then wholesale rates are down, a substantial cut would be expected for the next (Oct) Cap. ii) The rate new fixes are set at is based on wholesale rates, so if wholesale rates have dropped by then, the big push should be to get people off the Price Cap and onto fixes which could possibly look to be 20%+ cheaper, avoiding any price hike. That should then leave only those unwilling or unable to switch paying more - the latter is an issue the govt would need to concern itself with at that point. Yet if rates haven't dropped back down by May, and it looks like it'll stay high so the October Price Cap will rise too, and no cheap fixes are available, then things get into real problem territory. The government needs to be (and I suspect is starting to) planning now for that eventuality in case more hard-core intervention is needed. Martin PS I said I'd be off socials for the weekend, as normal, but thought this was worth coming back on for. I'm now resuming my weekend break from socials.

@nottmtails So poor, we continuously make wrong decisions all over the pitch, why are we committing fouls for no reason in areas that are completely needless. Our passing is poor, always seems to be behind the man or making it difficult for the player. Defensively its like watching kids.

That's that... #NFFC are beaten 2-1 at Brighton. Defensive fragility in the first 15 mins - when Forest conceded two goals - was decisive factor. Vitor Pereira tried a change in formation to spark his side into life in 2nd half... and they did put Brighton under some pressure.

@Realaldo474 Fuck me an ex footballer that doesn't know the laws of the game. Prat!

can someone let me know who was the VAR assistants for our game today folks !!They need calling out,that decision in football terms is a total disgrace!!Yes i said corrupt and I'll stand by that,every ex player would be shocked at that being disallowed!ynwa

@JimmC_91 @forestmad80 What so you're allowed to score with your elbow now 🤦‍♂️

@forestmad80 I agree with this goal but you have zero right, absolutely zero, to be complaining about VAR after the joke of a goal not given literally minutes before this

Come on now, I don’t care what VAR says, this stinks!!! #NFFC

@foxy219 At a match i was at, probably PVH.

Who was the last Forest player to score from a direct free kick?

@SammyZ_D83 @nottmtails End of next season.

Done deal: Vitor Pereira has signed as the next manager of Nottingham Forest #NFFC nytimes.com/athletic/70410…

@nottmtails Let me guess, this is an Edu recommendation. Fuck sake when do we get rid of him, the root of all the problems.

Things moving quickly at Nottingham Forest... Vitor Pereira, the former Wolves boss, has been identified as a leading candidate as the replacement for Sean Dyche. #NFFC looking to appoint their fourth manager of the campaign, following Dyche's departure. nytimes.com/athletic/70399…

@James8576970926 And our whole team couldn't score once against Wolves mate

@WorcesterNFFC He scored twice against Burnley mate.

Why the hell didnt we go all out to sign Strand Larson. We are right in trouble if we can't score after that half of football #NFFC

@eb03_1 Agree, think we're gone tbh.

@WorcesterNFFC We won’t finish 17th playing like that

Maybe, just maybe, the plan is to finish 17th, win the Europa league, into CL then appoint Thomas Frank next season. Sounds like a plan #nffc
