I heard him on Today this morning explaining why the Sunak/Government line of 'we can do nothing until the cap increases in October' is arrant nonsense. Direct Debits are likely to increase as soon as the new cap is announced later this month.
Even at current levels, average bills are close to the Standard Allowance a person on Universal Credit has for the entirety of their living costs. At £4k+ it will be considerably more. A spokesman for Iceland (the shop not the country) made the same point.
