Maybe we should boycott all Shell petrol stations as well. Everybody needs to stick together.

We need publicly owned energy creation and supply.

Not getting caught up in another shit transfer. Moved to Octopus this evening

Not another energy company going belly up!! Means I’ll have to move again!!

No they won’t. Not anytime soon anyhow.

‘Company said it wants to maximise value and Energy firms have been restricted by the Ofgem cap, which will be changing in April, on how much suppliers can charge for the energy they sell.’🤷‍♀️. It would be nice to know what’s really going on in the UK.

Very worrying. The Cap is destroying energy companies, is it really necessary to be so aggressive? 30 energy companies gone already.

Lets not bail them out too Conservatives

If Labour get in you won't exist as a utility supplier anyway..
