Tomorrow energy costs for millions rise by over 6%, third increase in a row. Hits the poorest hardest, results in more debt or simply having to go without. Government support evaporated, energy market reform absent. Energy profits aplenty. 21st century Britain, hard to believe.

Make no mistake, rises today will damage lives, lives already weakened by years of economic turmoil. Government support evaporating, & the changes necessary no forthcoming. bbc.co.uk/news/live/c1wd…

Millions of households have been urged to consider fixing their energy prices as the latest hike to the price cap sees their bills reach an average £1,849 a year. i.stv.tv/4jahXrx

Do you remember when bin collections were about making it easy for people? We've now got this 4 weekly, with fortnightly garden/food waste on either Thursday for some and Friday for others. Cost cutting inefficiency likely to reduce recycling rates. #StirlingCouncil

Climate Action Minister @AlasdairAllan has repeated calls for @EnergyGovUK to act on the recommendations of the Social Tariff Working Group and deliver targeted support for energy bills. This comes as @ScotGov publishes its first 3-year fuel poverty statutory periodic report.

Of course energy suppliers should be doing better. If people know about the switch off & haven't accepted a meter upgrade or contacted their supplier about one there are real risks of a loss of heating, or heating staying on and costs spiraling. Act now.

I took part in this event yesterday and my heart goes out the family and friends of this cyclist. It is such a warm and supportive event and I am sure the whole cycling community will share this loss.

More than 300,000 homes at risk of electricity disruption from July 1. buff.ly/w6ElELS

Who said getting a #SmartMeter was difficult.. Despite booking an appointment on 14th March, today, 3 days before it is due, British Gas cancelled it. Because? No reason given. Maybe Angela Ripon was too busy.

Over 100,000 Scots face energy cuts in BBC radio signal switch-off 'crisis'. A comparison of data shows that Scotland is bottom of the league table over the take up of smart meters behind London which has the second lowest levels at 45%. heraldscotland.com/news/25141184.…

Having had my 2mnth wait for a British Gas Help #SmartMeter installation cancelled I took the very next available one, a mere 5wk additional wait. But let's see if that actually happens. 14wks since first request. Populous, accessible, central Scotland.

If you are getting an RTS meter upgrade what tariff are you being steered towards by your supplier?

Let's hope GB Energy actually delivers some meaningful investments that result in a lowering of energy costs for those that need it the most. Something more than hard hat wearing photo opportunities.

Heading into town in a wee while to give blood. 73 time of asking. I've missed a fair few opportunities in my time but I'd urge anyone who can give to do it. It can save a life or make one a lot better. SNBTS-Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service

Energy price cap falls from 1 July by 7% for gas/electric households. Reversing the April hike but leaving costs at winter highs. Debt unsustainably high, no social tariff/discount to help those that need it. A system needing reset for people above profit.

Team EnergyActionScotland is in Inverness! Join us tomorrow at the Spectrum Centre to hear about the Radio Teleswitch and what we can do to help vulnerable households. Kate will be there from 11am, come say hello! 👋

Thousands to get payouts over forced meter fitting bbc.in/3T00IOw

The circumstances that allowed the PPM scandal sit across Government, regulator, suppliers & judiciary. A failure to protect which undoubtedly caused harm. Harm for some that compensation cannot adequately address. 2yrs is not speedy resolution. Scale of fines to be levied?
