Don't Pay UK

  • ... that Don't Pay UK will encourage UK households to cancel their energy bill payments on 1 October 2022 if their pledge reaches 1 million signatures? Source: e.g. National World, "The Don’t Pay campaign wants at least one million people to commit to not paying their energy bills ... The campaigners say they will not go ahead with the mass non-payment if not enough people sign up", or the group itself, "Gather a million pledges. We’re clear about this from the start: We only do this if we get a critical mass of people pledging to cancel their bills from October 1st. ... On 1 October, if the government and big energy companies have not reduced our bills to an affordable level and if we have critical mass pledged to cancel their bills, we all cancel them on the same day."

    • Comment: No specific date requested, but obviously the hook as written needs to run before 1 October.

  • Article is new enough and long enough. I had a few hits on Earwig, but all were quotes. The article is sufficiently cited to reliable sources. The hook itself is both cited and interesting and does not present any policy issues. I have verified QPQ is done. I don't see any reasons not to approve this nomination.
