@MrNickKnowles @SkyUK Try EE TV. Get sky sports and TNT sports in the package cheaper than sky
English

In a connectivity age @SkyUK really are the worst
Horrific hikes in pricing for regular customers compared to new ones, weeks of failing internet, hopeless customer support, multiple conversations with nothing ever actioned or recorded
Get internet & TV any other way you can
English

@1979motorhead @MarkMp82 @MrNickKnowles @SkyUK @skytv I was just coming to ask if you can record , rewind etc as I want to leave Sky too.

500 mile round trip that cost a fortune due to petrol prices etc to watch that happen & to start the week off feeling deflated. God knows how I’ll feel by final whistle Wednesday night. For my sanity just get him gone @LFC 🙏

@MartinSLewis @Ed_Miliband My son lives in a village with no gas so has an oil boiler. He’s part of a consortium to try save money & they aren’t even willing to put in an order due to unavailability of deliveries.
English

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.

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.

@ShabanaMahmood Just skip straight to the forced removal. Save us hardworking taxpayers some money. Grow a backbone please.
English

Our pilot of new incentives to remove failed asylum seeking families will save taxpayers up to £20 million.
Here's why 👇
1. It costs 158k to put up a family of 3 in an asylum hotel for 1 year. It costs 48k more to forcibly remove someone. A 10k per person incentive, up to a max of 40k per family, will save money.
2. If someone refuses an incentive, we will move to a forced removal. If you have no right to be in this country, you should not be allowed to stay.
3. There is nothing new about incentive payments. The Tories did it. Even Reform say they will do it.
4. Higher incentives have worked in Denmark. 95% of returns there are voluntary.
5. These incentives are not a pull factor. Asylum claims in Denmark are at a 40-year low. And asylum seekers spend tens of thousands of pounds getting to this country, that's more than any incentive payment.
6. This is a pilot of 150 families. We will see if it works and scale it if it does. That's taking a smart approach, that saves taxpayers' money, to restoring order at our borders. I make no apology for doing that.

@MalHay For the first time in my life I actually fear for my children and grandchildren’s future . What has been allowed to happen to our once great country is terrifying.

@AXS_UK shameful extra charges when purchasing tickets . I chose the ticket protection as gigs over a year away but the other charges you force on customers are very unfair.
