Tory government idea?

*for non-uk: the Tories are The Conservative Party, considered right wing, and certainly not 'socialist' by any stretch.

Reading any UK newspaper of late, I would consider a £20pcm saving tip almost front-pageworthy. I also believe Viz might accept it in their Top-tips section, if you want to reach a wider audience.

Supply is low, demand is high, prices have increased as the market does, which sends signals to consumers to reduce usage

The government has taken those signals away by agreeing to pay whatever the price is

They could have simply given £1000, or £100, or £10000, to every household, but they chose not to.
