@goodlawproject great to see you over here ❤️🙏👍👏🤗
@goodlawproject thank you for all th work you do on behalf of all #trans people x

@goodlawproject 👏👏👏

Good luck!!!

It is totally unacceptable that the government allows the continued contamination of our environment and impact to all life forms. We have the technologies. They've had the money (we've given them). Instead, they've allowed profiteering to take priority over both health and safety, and the impact to the environment. Totally unacceptable.

@goodlawproject strange and evil that those least able to afford energy increases are on or put on the highest tariff prepayment meters...

why can't everybody be on the same lower tariff ... it needs averaging out... and nobody lecture me on the expense of collecting and administration of prepayment meter charges and prepayment...

@goodlawproject Now it makes sense why they kept sending me letters and phoning urging me to get a smart meter
@goodlawproject This is why people didn’t want smart meters. We were assured that in no way would energy companies use smart meters for anything other than ‘reading’ them. Looks like people were right all along.
@goodlawproject a compassionate government should be working directly with suppliers to ensure no one is on a prepayment meter
