There's been a lot of talk about how energy bills are going to worsen the cost of living crisis for people this month.

Worth noting that a lot of people's MOBILE bills are about to do it, too.

They tend to include inflation increase clauses that hit roughly now.

@garius And also clauses that are 'inflation plus percentage', so they are always above inflation. (Isn't that something that causes inflation?)
Not only that, but when the escalator clause is built into the contract, it's no longer a 'price rise' that would allow you to end the contract without penalty.
