    2. Electricity and Gas standing charges not paid by customers - this means unit rates higher penalising affluent / heavy users, and helping less well-off.
    3. Remains as is (credited to electricity accounts this winter)
    4. Kicked down the road for a few weeks allowing for, "consolation"
    5. Removed until 1st April 2024
    6. Removed until 1st April 2024
    7. VAT removed from heating oil.  DD advantage removed.

    Apologies to others whose ideas I have borrowed  ;)

    I know that the Tories helping people seems unlikely, but I'm not sure even they would come up with a scheme that had an end date of over 2 years ago?! :o

    It's amazing how those with a can-do attitude and willingness to 'pitch in and work' get all the luck, isn't it?

    so the answer is 2500 headline
    unit rates to follow so no idea about standing charge 
    frozen for two years. also said two winters
    green levy frozen 
    400 remaining 
    people on fixes should e able to leave fee free (not sure if that's advice or agreed or paid for by the government)
    no mention of vat

    The 'green' (which is actually a social) levy (green supply is actually reducing the price) is being removed, this was part of the standing charge so possibly slightly lower standing charge for electricity and slightly higher unit rate than suggested above.
    I think....
