Rising bills have meant one in four people have resorted to skipping meals, according to a survey of more than 2,000 Britons.
But currently gas prices are lower then they have been in over a year. What is going on? Why are everyone’s energy bills still so high?
Sky News’ Data Editor Ed Conway explains.

Corruption is corruption and corruption to the top level in government
So, if next year's it turns out that the prices were lower they will give the money back 😉
The West has a bad reputation and no credibility at all, when it comes to promises, to help their so-called friends, or to help the countries on which they imposed a color revolution. A good example is Afghanistan, they waged war for 30 years, fighting the Taliban, but on the other hand, they helped the Taliban and led “good “ people like Ashraf Ghani, to flee the country, because the US themselves lost and fled. But there are many other examples, the Kurds for instance; the US led them to be killed by DAESH in Syria and Iraq. Or the Shia majority in Iraq, George Bush Sr. Promised to protect them from the forces of Saddam Hussein, after the Gulf war, but they were brutally murdered.
They also betray their longest allies, countries like Germany (Nord stream II) Turkey, France and Saudi Arabia. One can ask why? Partly because the US and EU have had for many years a “hard-core” capitalistic system, in contrast to China and Russia, where the government stands above capitalism. This Western model of capitalism doesn’t care about people, only about money and profit. But this system is bankrupt and the West is eagerly trying to create a new model, a technocratic, transhuman system, which is doomed to fail, people in Europe don’t want a system like that. It’s also the end of Western mankind.
I bet there are no barriers to our export of this gas?
The price rises are deliberate to destroy the economy and put people into poverty . The people riot , the govt collapses and hands power over to Klaus Schwab's World Economic Forum who are Boris , Sunak, javid and Liz truss s real bosses as they are call part of world economic forum s young global leaders program . Then it's one world govt tyranny . Boris and co are traitors who have sold the country down the river .
it was plenty till that crap started in ukrain and russsia
A scam is a scam- oil companies are as bad as Oligarchs
Aren't LNG and natural gas prices different? We still get natural gas from north sea right?
They don't have a replacement they are still getting their gas from Russia. Even idiot countries like Poland which say they won't buy Russian gas and they'll buy from another country instead are buying gas that Russia sold to Germany then Germany sells to Poland so it's still Russian gas they just want it more expensive for no reason. LNG isn't relevant because we are still using Russian gas we aren't primarily using LNG. So there is no reason why the price has gone up other than speculation on a bad future as the man said. In which case it would have been better to not say anything about stopping using Russian gas, get everything to switch away from it in place first, then immediately switch so there wont be the problem we now have: years of speculation of a bad future whilst the infrastructure to switch away from Russian gas is not yet complete. Idiots. Pumped the market on purpose it seems.
Bring back Russian gas, end this virtue-signalling.
Nationalise energy?
Oh not this guy again
Now trading and investing is becoming frustrating,I have already had a lot of losses.Please what is the way to make money trading cryptocurrency? Anyone with any specific guidance
They are full on fleecing us for every penny they can, as are the petrol/diesel companies. Whilst we bend over and take it.
All these MPs and politicians making general people fool… And getting or giving advantage to all these money making companies. Don't forget the fuel prices… More money and more weapons for Ukraine…
Ok so change that stupid way of setting the price. Seriously. We just accept that?
Usual establishment Lamestream Media trying to cover-up corporate greed!!!!
Bring on virgin gas as Richard Branson was always full of hot air! 😂
So were being ripped off by energy companies, they may as well break into our houses and just pack up our stuff!
COMMON SENSE The poor & the vulnrable claim universal credit this is where help needs to be applied reducing prices on petrol and diesal is no use to a person on universal credit who does not own a car, reducing national insurance is no help a windfall tax is no help.
A smell greed
Simple we have an over abundance of cheap gas divert it to the public and cut our bloody bills, are we living in the AGE of moronic leaders or what ???
They're scamming us every which way they can creaming as much money as possible of the electorate before they get anialated in the general election
First u should look into dark side of London
Welcome to Brexit Britain, enjoy your gruel.
It is not just the energy companies – it is ofgem!! They are making it harder for the companies to pass on the reductions! Its a SCAM!
We should be like the Irish, import 2 million tonnes of sand, and drill for our own oil
Kill them! Nationalise.
Futures markets ,the term makes me laugh basing a strategy of the glass half empty is based around schizoid thinking but operate in a narcissistic fashion by explaining there schizoid concerns but trying to fool the public
Here's a policy that would level up straight away but u wouldnt see no goverenmemt demand it. It costs way more than a windfall. If people have debts with their gas and electric and can't pay it then the energy company should pay that debt. I know why they haven't done it because they will lose all their easily earned profits. They won't do a windfall cos that reduces profits also. They have no choice but to do one of the two options.
Much like the petrol companys do what they like when they like charge what they like ..
This is what happens if ypu rely on russian…
It's inflation ffs. I can see a lot of people comments on here. If they don't increase their prices in line with inflation they will effectively be losing value.
Will the poxy uk gov pull the fists up and do the right thing,too much spin going on,bank of england rate rise helps no one,sunak tax the big companies or step down now.
Scrap house of lords.
Civil servants your wfh days are numbered.
Fat cat cheifs nhs scrap them all.
Kick the boots up there backsides
BUILD BACK ENGLAND BETTER
No but in UK only buys 8% of gas from Russia and UK depends on North Sea compared to Europe so it might be less
