Ed Miliband's pledge was to "reduce household energy bills by £300 in real terms by 1 January 2030". It's not 2030 yet, so you'll have to be a bit more patient. Although, as the energy cap has reduced since Q1 last year to the current quarter by £173, it could be argued that we're already seeing roughly 50% of that benefit already.Chippycafc said:Talking of dinosaurs, when are we going to get Eds 300 quid benefit he's been promising us for the last 16 months. Blew away with the typhoon I guess with all the other promises.
Adjusted for inflation - so that it meets the target of being "in real terms" - the saving, so far is £300. So, in answer to your question, we're already seeing it, although there are likely to be bigger savings still, as we approach the 2030 deadline.
That's the thing about measureable pledges: people can measure them. Like the £350m a week to the NHS if we leave the EU. Boris Johnson's promise has so far fallen £105.35bn short. I wonder when we're going to see that..?2 -

I've no idea why people continue to waste their time with obvious wind up merchants on this or other threads. It isn't worth your energy.2

Lifting the 2 child cap for benefits will cost the country £3.5 billion. PER YEAR
It will result in huge carbon emissions. 60 tonnes of co2 per extra child.
Utter madness.4 -
