2 July - You win some, you lose some

Bexley Labour Group wants you to know that it estimates that 26,000 Bexley homes are in line to get a £150 “Warm Homes Discount" this coming Winter (read their PDF Press Release) which will go some way towards making up for the £300 fuel bill reduction promised by Ed Miliband before the election but which I do not recall seeing.

Not optimisticThe Press Release includes a link to a Cost of Living Help booklet.

I do not expect to receive the revised Winter Fuel Allowance which Rachel has U-turned on or the Warm Homes Discount but on the other hand, thanks to the recent spell of sunshine, Ed Miliband’s 2010 Feed in Tariff will provide me with a little over £1,000 in just a few days time.

If only electricity was as cheap as in the USA none of these handouts would be required. Energy policies have all been fracking crazy for many years.
