'The average domestic energy bill is set to fall by 1% in January in a glimmer of good news for households, according to experts.

Energy consultancy Cornwall Insight said it expects the typical household’s energy bill to drop to an annual £1,697 a year from January 1 from the £1,717 cap that takes effect from October 1.

Prices are also forecast to fall slightly in both the second and third quarters of next year.'

Explain please?  What would you cut in order to help people with their bills, education, social care, NHS etc.?  Silly making sweeping statements.  And you've got them for another 4 3/4 years so get used to it. 

here's some practical advice - good seals for your doors and windows: https://www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-10m-P-Profile-Rubber-Draught-Seal---White/p/210821?gclsrc=aw.ds&&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=PMAX Shopping - Monthly Event&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw6oi4BhD1ARIsAL6pox13XsaMRYEWdpF5qwtmU6sxr_vkq8UWLSbCpEXgCwvnEgH79-UuF70aAr7kEALw_wcB

And this for wooden windows: https://www.toolstation.com/stormguard-brush-pile/p23638?store=null&utm_source=googleshopping&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=googleshoppingfeed&mkwid=_dc&pcrid=null&pkw=null&pmt=null&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw6oi4BhD1ARIsAL6pox0tfHedHamhpKNr9mqptCbqFWBZZTo_lpwRiI8vFG33Y7mprW-4bHsaAk8kEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

Also insulate and seal your letter box

Lots of heat can be lost through your front door, so a thick curtain behind works

Expressed an opinion and you're all over me like a rash. seems once again anyone who disagrees with you gets negated. 

Today, when questioned by Beth Rigby about the budget, Starmer had the silliest grin, almost smirking, knowing just exactly how people would suffer in the budget from this coming Wednesday. If you've got any savings expect to be taxed even more. The Starmageden budget will "hurt" lots of people, no one will be smiling on Wednesday afternoon, apart from Starmer, Reeves and Rayner.
