Households face soaring council tax and energy bills hike thanks to Budget

Self-described 'Scrooge' Jeremy Hunt is set to give Town Halls more powers to raise local taxes to pay for social careAsked if he would hike pensions in line with

inflation next year, the PM insisted he was “someone who understands the particular challenge of pensioners”, adding “they will always be at the forefront of my mind”.

Yeh they're at the fucking forefront because they're the ones you want to turn over you callous prick.

They’ve also benefited from the golden age of company pensions, low house prices and cost of living through the ages. Potentially, they’re better equipped than the young to deal with this financial crisis.

Can we get some honesty about council tax rises - last year the rise was 4% for my county, very sneakily described as a 1% rise and a 3% adult social care precept rise that was in fact 30%.

read that sentence whilst looking at his face LOL I dont trust that scum for 1 second with anything!

Pensioners who won't be able to afford their cou cil tax

Has anybody else with BritishGas realised since the 1st of November that we have not got access to daily 'Energy Usage' online! BritishGasHelp said they don't know when access it will be reinstated :-( They said 'take readings & work it out' :-(
