They don't call it the Grauniad for nothing !:D

An unexplained £6 is absolutely nothing compared to past howlers.

The £7 included in the £58?

The article gives a breakdown of some elements of the £53 and £58.

Very likely - but it still leaves another £1 unaccounted for. I guess that's probably a rounding error.

To be fair, I think he was saying that the Grauniad described it thus.

No, it was The Green Hornet, quoting the Guardian!

In your desperation to score points, you really are continuing to make a fool of yourself on this thread.

Please point out where in that article it refers to the £7 Feed in Tariff subsidy being part of the £58 programs to help poor and vulnerable customers.

Bit slow today, I didn't spot that at all. Quite funny/ironic!

Labour leader Ed Miliband has vowed to freeze bills for 20 years if he wins the next election, while former Tory Prime Minister Sir John Major this week called for a windfall tax on energy firms to help people stay warm this winter.

According to GH, the article said :-

The Guardian has an interesting breakdown of what the "green charges" are on our bills. Apparently, of the £112 on the average £1,267 annual bill, schemes that are used for renewables cost around £53 a year, while other programmes to help poor and vulnerable customers cost around £58 a year, and the Feed in Tariff subsidy costs households a miserly £7 a year.

Since 53 + 58 + 7 = 118 and 53 + 58 are only 111 it seems likely that the £7 was already included in either the £53 or the £58. Have to say that I'd have thought it better belonged in the £53 camp.
