How can they help those have already install solar panels ? Big deal to save £45 for average household. Probably costs over £50!for admin fee.

Sod the VAT stop the daily connection charges and that will really reduce people's energy bills

Burnham is the King of smoke and mirrors and the King of sleight of hand

Energy bills gone up hundreds of pounds the last few years so Andy giving back about 45p a week for most people. Well done Andy.

THE CIRCUS is back in town haha

Zero VAT isn’t an energy policy - it’s just a tax cut gimmick. It doesn’t fix the broken electricity market or deliver permanently lower bills.

Our policy reforms the market to deliver 15p/kWh electricity instead of relying on short-term headlines.

I make a point of not paying for electric or Gas or water or TV licence

We should be saving £200 a month ANDY!!!!

Its the standing charge that needs to be scrapped!
@
First thing, wage cut for MPs
@
I'd say it'll be a tough winter judging by them trying to seem like they're helping when we all know the standing charges have nothing to do with our elected officials so can't be taken(a key meter will take that charge from you even if you run out of credit, it'll go into the minus) that's their way of ensuring you pay the wealthy that tribute.

That's all we are, a natural resource to be exploited for the mentally ill's hoarded wealth, that's what we face, trying to get a hoarder to clean out their most valued possession.
@
Scrapping the vat on electric saving £45 😂 £4 a month will satisfy the sheep
@
Crash and Burnham means oh my god, we've come to this
