day washing up and i was thinking about my grandchildren, and i m going to tell you the truth, tears came to my eyes about how the future s going to be for these children. if we don t try and save some money for our grandchildren now, if we can, you know, then they re going to have nothing. at westminster primary school in bradford, they ve now started collecting blankets, dressing gowns and hot water bottles to give out to pupils. we re totally expecting that as the energy crisis really bites, that more of our families will be pushed into a poverty situation and, therefore, the children will be coming to us having maybe not eaten a warm meal every day, that may be coming from a cold home or not slept properly, and the impact on that then for us with their education is quite extreme. one, two, three, four, five. the government are offering some help by knocking £150 off most council tax bills in england, and then lending an extra £200
so am i going to be able to afford to eat, wash my pots, and also have my heating on? winston doesn t spend big. his state pension has been enough until now. but charges for his prepayment meter are leaping up, while his pension is not. that s going to cost me £20 a weekjust for gas. and where are you getting that money from? well, i m not. that s the whole point, i m not. you know, the state pension that we get at the moment does not cover what i need. you know, i was stood here the other day washing up and i was thinking about my grandchildren, and i m going to tell you the truth, tears came to my eyes about how the future s going to be for these children. if we don t try and save some money for our grandchildren now, if we can, you know, then they re going to have nothing. at westminster primary school in bradford, they ve now started collecting blankets, dressing gowns and hot water bottles to give out to pupils. we re totally expecting that as the energy crisis really bites, that

the council tax, everything is having a rise, plus the petrol. mum of three qurat is making small changes in the house to try and keep those energy bills under control. my washing, i normally do it throughout the week but now i m doing it over the weekend. so it s a big wash. i ve stopped using my hairdryer because it takes about 45 minutes to dry my hair. what the kids do is reach up to the heating, mummy, we re cold, mummy, we re cold, so where are they supposed to go? at westminster primary on the other side of town, they already give food parcels to some families. but now they ve started collecting blankets, dressing gowns and hot water bottles to give out as well. we are totally expecting that as the energy crisis really bites that more of our families will be pushed into a poverty situation and therefore the children will be coming to us having maybe not eating a warm meal every day,
to some families. but now they ve started collecting blankets, dressing gowns and hot water bottles to give out as well. we are totally expecting that as the energy prices really bite that more of our families will be pushed into a poverty situation and therefore the children will be coming to us having maybe not eaten a warm meal every day, they may be coming from a cold home or not slept properly. and the impact on that then for their education is quite extreme. the uk s biggest supplier is british gas. the boss says they make very little profit from customers, but their oil and gas extraction has made a lot more money. 80% of the additional profits have gone to the government. so i think the profits have gone up byjust over 500 million, and the tax bill has gone up byjust over 400. that is exactly right. i m looking for no sympathy, that s how the system should work. and i m very comfortable. the question is how government uses those additional funds.
