Martin Lewis warns energy bills could rise by £1,000 in October.

Margy Hewison: This is stupid, well if there’s any deaths because of this we know who to blame the government, they know families are struggling and they still putting the prices up. Why don’t they try living the way some people do, see how they would like it.

Keith Gott: There are going to be so many deaths this winter. Life means nothing these days, we’re all a number. Money and greed comes before a human’s life.

Paul Burdess: So many people will end up either starving or freezing to death, let alone homeless from bills getting out of control. The government is doing nothing to bring down inflation which would drive down other rising costs. Until they do the country is doomed.

Karen Khan: They can rise all they want, they can't take what people literally don't have.

Steve Taylor: Need collective action.

Anne Storey: They won’t be getting any more out of

me that’s for sure.

Simon Alden: Going to have a cold house this winter.

Michael Harnett: Everyone just refuse to pay.

Robert Bradshaw: When is this madness going to end?

Helen Hindhaugh: Where are people going to find this money, wages aren't going up, but to live day by day literally is madness.

Jeanette Carr: Many people will sink under this! How much more can working families cope with?

Paul Sparrow: Not again, when will this stop.

Kevina Jerry: When this happens every single person in the world should switch their electricity off by the main box and keep it off. Make the power grid go black throughout.

Lee Mckinney: Fleece blankets and hot water bottles, they will not beat us.
