      Its not charity, we all pay extra to fund it.

      >Energy suppliers currently cover the cost of giving the Warm Home Discount to lower-income customers through the standing charge, which is a fixed fee that they charge all customers.

      My standing charges currently account for 40% of my quarterly bill.

      I don’t really understand why benefits for lower incomes have to come in the form of drip feeding various payments for different things with different thresholds and different tax implications.

      It creates a lot of confusion and tax traps, when it could just be done with one fair marginal benefit.

      Income is also a wild way of dosing out benefits given you can be retired with £10m in the bank and have no income.

      Listening to LBC and the good comment and discussion was student loans. You want a way to help people? Get that under control

      So . . . standing charges will remain high to cover more subsidies, rather than fixing the underlying problem, and making everyone’s bills cheaper.

      Smashing – it’s like we’re bereft of any form of idea.
