Switching from BG Spring Community Saver to Big Brit Gas Big Switch

Should I switch from a Spring community Saver with British Gas that ends in April 26 ( formed through a Leicester Council bid ) to the new tarrif since it looks like i will be paying more !!
Elec unit =22.86 standing charge 46.03 Gas unit = 5.79 and s/ charge is 21.76
I am not sure what it will flip back to ?
I have not seen anything close on the MSE switch tarrif checker?

I know that THURS today is the deadline - advice please

    Establish your annual consumption in kWh from two recent bills 12 months apart. Only actual readings count (smart, customer or meter reader), not estimated ones.

    For gas, convert the the difference in volume using the formula shown on the bill.

    Then do the sums.

    Bear in mind the exit fees and that British Gas has dire customer service.
