It’s a fucking joke.

All needs to be properly regulated. They’ve proven they can’t treat the country fairly so fuck em. Regulate their pricing. Not Ofgem bollocks either. Proper regulation.

It is a blatant lie isn't it? How is it allowed? They were complaining that they had to wait 6 months to raise prices because of the price cap. That was changed to 3 months to "protect" the consumer, but ended up costing us.

Now, prices can't come down for a while because they buy in advance. Meaning, they were selling us gas at a price higher than they bought it for. If not, then both things can't be true.
 

A complete non-story here. £50k savings and claims she "can't afford to buy a house". Really she means she can't afford to buy a specific house valued at quarter of a mill in Cardiff. Single girl, there are plenty of decent apartments available at below that price - does she really need a 3 bedroomed house at this stage in her life.

Looking at her job, I suspect she is working from home the majority of the time. Which means that, she can probably move outside the city. Some decent properties in Pontypridd, at around £150-£160k. Go further afield, and you'll get really nice houses for that price.

Part of the problem with people struggling with mortgage rates going up is they bought not really working out if they could afford the mortgages if they went up to 5-6%. For the girl in this story, she should just be thinking of getting on the property ladder, maybe in 6-12 months when prices have dropped a bit more, bite the bullet and move 10-12 miles outside Cardiff, and use that as her first step. 24 and with £50k saved, and having a bit of a moan on the BBC isn't really going to resonate with people who are missing bill payments.
