From 4million to 8million a year, the result of the UK Government not imposing a windfall tax and giving us money to hand over to the energy companies. We are supposed to be grateful for the help given to us to pay our bills when, in actual fact, the real benefactors were the energy company shareholders and company executives.

At least three members of Centrica’s remuneration committee have to be independent non-executive directors - ie not employees of the company so not ‘worried about whether their own pay rise will be approved’. The shareholders also voted in favour of the remuneration package. Yes, Greta, the market does dictate.

Switch to a cheaper energy company? Don’t stay with British Gas therefore. The market then has teeth.
