I don't think things will change much at all. Next to fuel, gas and electricity must be giving the government the biggest return in taxes, so they are not going to give that up too easily. How on earth did they get away with putting gas up by 18% and nothing said by the government and Ofgen, oh yes, they did play lip service to the rises but that is all. All that was said it that it will cause inflation to rise, the fact there was not a cap put on the increase considering the current climate is unbelievable.

It may be the case that all the politicians hold many shares in the energy business so they want to make as much money as they can while we all suffer.
