        @BBCBreaking If I were to switch, as a pensioner, I would save less than £1 per week, useless.

        @BBCBreaking Switching helps none of those on low incomes when all the big 6 charge largely the same.

        @BBCBreaking Not possible because the 6 put in their own special gas into the pipes just for you with ribbons and bows. Renationalise!

        @BBCBreaking The Energy Secretary isn't stupid. He knows this isn't the solution. He just hopes were stupid enough to believe it.

        @BBCBreaking Switch as much as you like we all end up paying about the same amount. Something more radical required.

        @BBCBreaking - what's the point? You fix for a set period and then just have to catch up again after it has expired. Rip off again!

        @BBCBreaking That's not the problem. They announce record profits then hike bills. Greed is the problem.

        @BBCBreaking no point in quick switching energy comp when they IMO fix price between themselves and cream profits thru in house companies
