The Loan-Not-Loan is thankfully now dead. It is now a grant coming off bills. And it is bigger. So now ALL energy bills will be reduced by a flat £400 this October. #CostOfLivingCrisis GOOD MOVE.

First key bit of data from the Spring Statement today: GDP forecast cut dramatically this year - from 6% to 3.8% - as the cost of living crisis bites. Also cut next year but increased in 2024.
