Energy bills are up 2% from today, after a rise in the energy price cap.
Meanwhile CEOs like Chris O’Shea of British Gas continue to earn huge sums, and energy companies continue to give big payouts to shareholders.
Is that right when most of us are struggling to pay our bills?

New taxes on big gambling companies - as proposed by @ippr.org - could raise £3 billion a year.
That’s enough to scrap the two-child benefit cap, lifting more than 500,000 children out of poverty overnight.
