Green Taxes are not the worst causing of the rises as I said in few posts ago. They make up around 9% but haven't increased that much in relation to the massive increases we're seeing elsewhere. They're also a far wider ranging set of tax measures than just eco ones, i.e the warm home rebate.
To be honest though I don't think TheDaddy was having a Labour vs Tory bash, he was having a go at the energy companies generally.
