Honestly there's just no difference between governments these days is there. I remember Sunak doing similar crowing over the "great" things they were doing for people by knocking something like £200 a year (it may even have been less) off of average tax bills. I mean not to be flippant but even if you're near rock bottom poor, £20 a month is absolute piss in the ocean in terms of a household budget, it's insulting to anyone for it to be touted as anything more than a bit of pocket change.

In exchange for having a massive pylon built over your head?

I mean I think the evidence of physical harm is lacking but that's not really the point... it's just not a nice way to live. And that's even for renters - if you actually own it, it's going to devalue the property by a shedload more than £2500/10 years.

I'm not even saying that the building of infrastructure isn't necessary...

I'm saying that the compensation for it is a joke. Absolutely shocking. Excuse the pun.

One thing they could and absolutely should do for people in this situation?

"We're going to build pylons over all of your houses, however as compensation, your own electricity will be 100% free forever, no questions asked"

Now THAT, I would say, would be a very appealing compensation.
