Restricting charges, no matter how desirable, is a temporary measure. The lost opportunities for insulation and renewal would have been permanent
How much should people pay for the essential service of heating and powering their homes? Last week, politicians tried to outbid one another with how much they would save you. Up to £100 off for two thirds of people, said the Tories. We’ll raise you, with a £1,000 ceiling for everyone, said Labour.
Vested interests across the energy world responded with warnings that competition would die and consumers would inadvertently suffer as prices went up. Jobs would be shed as profit margins crumbled for the “big six” cohort of energy firms, who still hold 84% of the market despite years of so-called competition.

I wanted to use the inheritance money towards a shop but now the seller may withdraw
I have been trying to cash a US cheque for just over $100,000 (£77,300), left to me in America by my late father but Lloyds bank has lost it, and now I fear a shop I was hoping to buy with this money will also be lost.
Lloyds was to open a dollar account for me, and we agreed I would go to my local branch with ID and pay in the cheque at the same time. I did this in late February and, luckily, asked for a receipt.

Online banking customers are being warned to watch out for web addresses that may appear legitimate but are in fact fraudulent sites owned by cyber criminals. The domains are designed to look either superficially similar to legitimate sites or to anticipate common misspellings or typos.
According to researchers at DomainTools, 346 domains have been identified as “high risk”, and at least five of the UK’s biggest banks have been targeted:
Registering domain names that are noticeably similar to existing sites is known as ‘cyber squatting’ or ‘domain squatting’. It is a common tactic in phishing campaigns, as the criminals hope to trick customers into mistaking their site for the authentic one and therefore providing login credentials or other personal details.
The spoofed domain names can, at first glance, be hard to spot. According to Kyle Wilhoit, senior security researcher at DomainTools, cyber criminals may “simply add a letter to a brand name, such as Domaintoools.com, while others will add letters or an entire word, such as ‘login’ to either side of a brand name.”
Typical domains that DomainTools discovered include:
“Users should remember to carefully inspect every domain they are clicking on or entering in their browser,” Wilhoit said. “Also, ensure you are watching redirects when you are going from site to site.”
Other things users should look out for in potentially deceptive web addresses, according to DomainTools, include:
This advice is helpful for reminding people and businesses that they need to remain cyber secure. However, these tips invariably come after a phishing campaign has already begun making the rounds. For many businesses, by the time they’ve received this advice, it’ll be too late.
That’s why it’s important to stay one step ahead of cyber criminals, and to make sure your staff are trained to recognise and respond to phishing attacks. IT Governance’s Phishing Staff Awareness Course provides real-life examples of phishing campaigns, as well as tips and best practices to equip them with everything they need to avoid falling victim.
