Ofgem will also regulate energy brokers & price comparison sites for the first time, to stamp out exploitation.

Businesses and public sector firms will also get standardised contracts when they are required to install smart meters - with the aim of saving them £200m a year.

Stronger protections & consumer rights to be introduced for families & businesses when things go wrong in the energy market.

It includes strengthening the Energy Ombudsman; reducing waiting times for complaints & forcing energy suppliers to pay compensation when too slow to enact rulings.

I wonder who is behind the four survivors pulling out and then writing a letter calling for Jess Phillips to quit. Who is advising them.

BBC headline news?
All related to brown skins.
Grooming.
Small boats.
Murders.
It's as if white skins good, brown skins bad.
All week.
But we know it's not that simple.
Context would help.
Eg.This morning it slipped out that 35,000 returnees this last year.

Anyone who watched PMQS yesterday knows that the Tory attempt (led by Badenoch) to stir up trouble over the grooming gang inquiry, fell completely flat. Every question was answered.
Are they trying to waste time and stop the inquiry?
And why has the BBC picked up the baton?

Rory Stewart, "Trump is destroying the global order. Trump is on Putin's side"

"Trump wants a deal, a pro Putin deal. Putting Ukraine and Europe in a vulnerable position"

"I'm worried we'll get a repeat of what he did in Gaza. He will declare peace and victory when it really isn't a peace at all"

Trump lied when he said he would not disturb the existing White House for his ridiculous ballroom. His destruction of the East Wing is symbolic of what he has done to our democracy.
