  Oh thank you benevolent tax man for the equivalent of 8 hours on minimum wage. We’ll all make it through the winter now, thanks to m’lord’s kindness!

  I mean I’m not going to turn down free money but it’s not exactly a stimulus check. I spend more on that on food in a month.

    It’s the amount the average energy bill is going to increase by between January and April. It’s not supposed to solve problems now, it’s for that specific problem coming in January.

    They’re hoping energy prices will drop by April.

  Maybe a combination of getting used to not spending money and things being increasingly shit, but I don’t know what I would want to bother spending this on.

  Even when I was earning £600 a month on apprentice wages in the late 2010s I don’t think this would have meaningfully changed my life.
