Muhammad Ali’s powerful interview with Michael Parkinson in 1971.
“How come is everything white?”
“Tarzan was the king of the jungle in Africa and he was white”.
WARNING: On an energy fix CHECK NOW if your price just rocketed. On Sat, those who locked in on costly fixes - usually c.1yr ago - lost the govt 'Energy Price Guarantee' subsidy. If so you will see rates jump to substantially more than the price cap rates (see end of this tweet)
So check if your fixes rates have changed. If so, and it's materially higher than the cap rates you should consider ditching the fix and moving to your provider's price cap (though factor in any early exit penalties)
PRICE CAP RATES:
Average direct debit price cap rates from 1 July
- ELEC. Standing charge: 53.0p/day Unit rate: 30.1p/kWh
- GAS. Standing charge: 29.1p/day Unit rate: 7.5p/kWh
Yet this varies by region (and doesn't apply to N. Ireland) and how you pay. For exact info for you go to #unitrates" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">moneysavingexpert.com/utilities/what…
Just been told that Tammy Prescott has sadly died. Tammy and her husband Lintyn accompanied me to Downing Street in February. Tammy & I handing over a petition to Number 10 calling for changes to stop people like her dying in poverty.
Tammy had been undergoing intensive chemotherapy treatment since being diagnosed with stomach cancer in September 2021. The petition, organised by @mariecurieuk urges the Government to give terminally ill people of working age access to their state pension. Tammy didn’t get her pension but we will keep fighting for others. RIP Tammy 🥰
Friday 17th March is #RedNoseDay and some genius has come up with the brilliant idea of combining the red nose and a seed bomb - you can buy them @Homebase_uk and you will be supporting @comicrelief AND the bees and the butterflies too !
