The cold affects his kidneys, putting him at risk of seizures.The price of fuel, food and energy in the UK has rocketed, withIn the past 12 months, all Northern Ireland's electricity and gas providers have put up their prices multiple times, increasing power bills by hundreds of pounds a year.

The organisation wants tailored support for people with disabilities who rely on medical devices like nebulisers and ventilators.

Welcome to Tory Britain

Aren’t we all ultimately just sitting on death row? “Trying to make ends meet, You’re a slave to the money then you die.” - The Verve, Bittersweet Symphony.

Are they registered on their suppliers Priority Services Register? N.B. If you are feeling cold the first thing to do is put on some warm clothing, at least a couple of more layers over a tee shirt!

I might be wrong but are disabled people on PIP payment free housing? weekly sick payments?

This may be the drawback of capitalist society.

Really? Rubbish. No provider is going to turn off electricity to anyone. All you need to do is agree minimum repayment plan. Besides, what's the point of staying warm if the equipment keeping you alive is switched off. You'll just be a warm corpse. Get real.

There's just no way it's like this! I know for a fact that no electricity suppliers can turn off the power if it will endanger life! In the UK there is a 1001 ways to get help so you don't suffer. Having said that! I left there 15 years for a warmer climate.

You can be cold and breathe, can’t not breathe and be warm

Are they forced to pay the telly tax?

Would be really interesting if tables were turned, how would good old Rishi deal with this, this is devastating and that guy should hang his head in shame, worse than a criminal in my eyes

So sad.

What choice is to be made though? Of course you would choose to breath, what even is this article BBC?
