Saw him on BBC news this morning. Nothing new, just very patronising. I particularly groaned when the interviewer pointed out that Shapps had brought work home and pointed to the very strategically placed red box.
We’re at the stage where everything is too expensive to save here and there. You just have to go without.
People were complainiing that the government weren’t giving advice on this, before everyone starts frothing at the mouth.
Can’t help but think that £18M could have been better spent elsewhere.
Labour hates him.
One weird trick to save you £230 this Christmas.

This is such a patronizing article with nothing new. I imagine most people who have been getting ever poorer over the last 12 years have already been doing this before this winter.
I don’t know anyone who heats more than one room, hasn’t put draftproofing everywhere, has cut back on using the oven, or canceled all subscriptions…..
There is nothing left to cut or save or stretch.
I can’t believe they spent 18mil on this.
£350 worth of yearly savings – energy prices have gone up 4 times the savings…worth it…
Bloody hell these are as useful as when one of them tried to tell us all value brands exist. £18m down the drain.
The sheer scale of how these morons can be THIS out of touch is mind boggling.
We are soooooo far beyond ‘a little scrimping and saving here and there will make this all ok’ it’s unreal.
The fact they’ve pumped £18million pounds in to such an utterly ludicrous campaign is just the latest in a long series of facepalm moments for the government.
I know where I’d like to stick his elf and it wouldn’t be on a shelf that’s for sure.
“First, rebalance your portfolio in favour of energy and private healthcare stocks, ensuring you distribute at least half your liquid wealth to low-tax regimes offshore in case of UK-based instability. Take your fund managers to lunch to see what other advice they can offer.”
How to save money.
1. Don’t vote Tory. Ever!
2. See 1.
Without doubt, the most corrupt, self-serving political party in the history of this nation.
How did this cost anything when it’s all basic advice available all day every day and has been for decades
I suspect someone’s pockets got lined
What money? It’s already all on bills, what am I meant to save?
“Turn shit off/down and do stuff that your grandparents taught you to do during winter”.
Them’s the brain recommendations of a bloke with 5 (count ‘em, FIVE) O levels and a Higher National Degree (according to the wiki).
Most of these things require capital outlay at a time when people are struggling for money. What’s the net saving of them *this year*?
Tory advice on how to save money:
1. Choose your parents wisely
Advice ends.
You can’t bash Truss for blocking this and Sunak for allowing it simultaneously.
Yeah for a lot of people this advice probably is a bit patronising but I’m fine with that as I’m sure there’ll be some people who won’t be aware of all of this. People are saying that everyone already knows these tips, I don’t think that’s true. A whole new section of populace has been dragged into poverty by the CoL crisis, some might benefit from this.
I’d never vote Tory but this is just sensible policy making. The £18m will pay for itself easily if any number of people actually make energy savings from this.
You know those times at work when you have 10 complex things to and only 8 hours to do them in? And obviously you don’t manage it, because it’s just not possible without additional time?
Well, that’s what’s happening with Brits’ finances. It’s just not possible for us to keep paying these inflated bills without additional funds, because wage growth has been deliberately suppressed over 12 years of Tory misrule.
I’m shocked there’s not a sign-up link for one of his schemes in the advice
He was also in the cabinet that decided not to run ads on how to save money. Collective responsibility, where?
Hopefully his expenses will be itemised for the home energy costs he’ll charge back to us
Why the fuck didn’t the BBC question how turning off something like that microwave would save 60 or 70 quid? It’s so damned basic. By my calculation he’d need to have 70 microwaves stashed around his (presumably) mansion to make that much difference.
government did well starving the nhs of cash so they rolled it out to everyone.
Is this really £18 million worth of information? How was this money spent exactly?
Energy companies hate this one trick, freeze to death and save £££ on your heating bills!
They forgot a money saving tip! Do everything in your power to rid this country of this corrupt, incompetent & self-serving government.
Thank you for all the help Corinne Stockheath. This is a government that cares

Starring Michael Green it seems.
“Remember- it’s your fault you’re poor.”
