Wanted to start a separate thread on this rather than clog up the other energy ones and @bobmac just mentioned it on the Bulb thread so thought it would be interesting to see what people's thoughts are.
It's got 80,000 followers on Twitter and you've got people live Martin Lewis and Dominic Cummings mentioning it who both have huge reach. Personally I think these calls for action tend to die off but with the cost of energy getting to the point where it might actually not be a choice for a lot of people this one could have legs. You've got the different segments of society based on wealth and this particular crisis seems to be getting higher up the wealth ladder than anything I can remember.
You've then got the energy companies announcing record profits whilst also increasing prices with the cap going up every 3 months.
The idea of the Don't Pay is that they're after a million pledges by October 1st which would mean that they couldn't cut everyone off and you'd be forcing the government into action with the energy companies to sort this out as, at present, you've got the cap rising every 3 months and that is now looking like lasting well into 2023 and beyond.
