The ins and outs, the comings and goings, of Britain’s energy bills is enough to make your head spin.

November was like a soap opera.

We had a new price cap announced by Ofgem. Right wing headlines screamed about putting our bills up by £3 a year - yes £3 per year - because wholesale prices had actually fallen (only part of the story).

A £1bn a year energy efficiency tax was scrapped in the budget as part of the government’s plan to reduce the cost of living and deliver on a vital manifesto pledge - to cut bills by £300 a year.

That saved us all £150 a year - half the target and a welcome move.

But it was wiped out in the same month by a new tax added to our bills, of exactly the same size, to pay to build the nuclear power station at Sizewell.

One billion pound out followed by £1 billion in. Or was it the other way round? Who cares and what difference does it make - none actually.

And finally, this........
