No Bollocks with Matt Haycox

Why Your Energy Bill Keeps Going Up

The CEO of British Gas just got a £245K pay rise—and your energy bill went up. But here’s the real question: are we blaming the wrong people?

In this fiery breakdown, we cut through the outrage and explain what’s really driving prices, why CEO pay isn’t as outrageous as it seems, and the actual solutions that could make energy fairer for everyone. This isn’t about defending billionaires—it’s about understanding how the system works so we can fix it without breaking it further.

Be angry. But be accurate.
