Fears thousands of power meters won't work after tech switch-off
RTS meters, introduced in the 1980s, use longwave radio signals from the BBC to switch between peak and off-peak rates, but this system is being discontinued.
The energy supplier explained that if you have a large black box next to your meter, you may have an RTS meter.
Jan Shortt of the National Pensioners Convention noted that many affected households may be unaware of their RTS meters or the impending switch-off.
Customers who do not switch to smart meters may face overcharges for electricity or be left without hot water and heating.

Calm down, homeowners – Rachel Reeves' property tax might be an improvement
Another day, another idea that Rachel Reeves is said to be considering. It's as if the chancellor is putting suggestions out there to see what sticks. Either that, or she just wants to be seen to be busy and to let it be known she has considered all options before delivering her autumn Budget, which is when we will discover for certain. What is clear is that Reeves has a funding gap to fill, and the backdrop – of stretched national and local public services and a flatlining economy – isn't pretty. Nor too is a regime of anachronistic, complex and often unfair taxes, especially regarding homes. The latest possibility for dissection and reaction then, is a new property tax, to replace stamp duty and council tax. First up would be an annual tax to replace stamp duty on homes worth more than £500,000, to be paid by owner-occupiers. The amount charged would be based on the value of the property according to a rate set by the government; HMRC would collect payment. The annual levy would not apply to second homes because they would still be subject to stamp duty, including the 5 per cent second home surcharge. The aim of this new national property tax would be the creation of a revenue source that is more reliable and not so prone to fluctuations in the housing market as stamp duty. It would be more efficient and practical, reflective of a current Britain (stamp duty, the oldest of all taxes, was born in 1694) and, crucially, would not be such a drag on home sales. Properties in the bracket below £500,000, upwards of £250,000, would be freed. Given that the average price of a home in the UK was £272,664 according to Nationwide, most homes would be liberated, including starter homes. It would prove easier and cheaper to move house and encourage greater mobility. Inevitably, the new tax will, and is, already being criticised as another 'wealth tax'. Quickest out of the traps was Location, Location, Location presenter Kirstie Allsopp who decried the suggestion of a property tax as 'really destabilising for the property market – and when I say the property market, I mean people's homes. This government seems to want to punish people for making the sacrifices they've made to buy their own homes.' Reeves and her advisers are letting it be known that they are following a report from the centre-right (so not leftist) think tank, Onward. It was Onward that came up with the £250,000-to-£500,000 net. Under the Onward plan, the suggested annual rate above £500,000 would be 0.54 per cent, and a home worth more than £1m would pay 0.81 per cent on the portion over that limit. Important, given the state of the nation's finances, is the possibility it will not actually raise more than stamp duty. Onward's recommendation that it should not be retrospective would mean stamp duty would not be scrapped in one go, the substitute being phased in gradually. So, it is no fiscal panacea, rather a nice thing to have. Onward also recommended ditching council tax, also loathed by left and right, and introducing a local proportional property tax. It would be charged yearly to homeowners, not residents, on properties up to £500,000. Like council tax, the rate would be set by local authorities, but Onward's guide of 0.44 per cent would mean a maximum bill of £2,196 a year, payable to the council. With properties worth more than £500,000, the government will step in and take an additional 0.54 per cent, also annually, on the portion above £500,000. Out would go the outdated and flawed council tax banding system assessed on property values from 1991. It would be fairer and would allow councils to retain a strong lever over their own finances. It could head off some of the council bankruptcies that are brewing. Unfortunately, though, it too is unlikely to prove a quick fix – experts are predicting it will take a while to implement. A test for Reeves and for Sir Keir Starmer would be, given their talk of wanting to go 'further and faster' and their commitment to removing bureaucracy, is just how soon any of these changes could come on-stream. The new local tax is also not especially redistributive – poor areas would still remain disadvantaged, affluent ones would still be able to bask in their good fortune. The new, national and local property tax would enjoy another advantage, in that Britain would operate under one structure. At present, stamp duty exists in England and Northern Ireland – Wales and Scotland do it their way. This would cut across, and while it might not be popular with nationalists it would be uniform. Above all, what is under discussion, if it is Onward, bearing in mind that other think tanks have their own ideas, is more appealing than the current mess. It is true that it is not hard, that anything would be better, but this does begin to feel like genuine reform and modernisation.

Pope Leo to move in with ‘flatmates' in Vatican redesign
Pope Leo XIV will invite a select number of 'flatmates' to move in with him when he occupies the papal apartments later this year, according to an Italian media report. The Pope announced he would live inside the apartments of the 16th Century Apostolic Palace days after his election, breaking with his predecessor Pope Francis, who rejected the luxurious accommodation. The 10 rooms of the apartment are being extensively renovated for Pope Leo, La Repubblica reported on Tuesday, with three or four of his brethren set to live alongside him. Among those expected to be invited are Father Edgard Rimaycuna, the Pope's Peruvian personal secretary. It appeared to mark the first time in modern history that a pope would share his official living quarters on the third floor of the palace. 'It seems to be new to me,' Vatican correspondent Iacopo Scaramuzzi told The Telegraph. 'I don't know if that takes account of the long history of the church but certainly in the modern era.' In keeping with tradition, seals were placed on the doors of the apartment on April 21 immediately after Francis's death, even though the late pope never lived there. Francis spent the 12 years of his pontificate in the simply furnished Santa Marta residence inside the Vatican instead because he said he preferred daily contact with ordinary people. 'In my opinion, Leo is definitely different to Francis but not that different,' Mr Scaramuzzi said. 'He is returning to the papal apartments, but not like a king.' Mr Scaramuzzi said it was unclear whom the Pope's companions might be, but stressed it was in keeping with the sense of community engendered by Leo's Augustinian Order. Residence renovated according to papal taste The apartments have been the official residence of popes since 1870 and it is customary for a new pope to renovate the apartments according to his taste. The Vatican has been tight-lipped about the latest restructure, but teams of technicians have spent months working on a redesign of the rooms, as well as damage caused by water infiltration and humidity in the 12 years the apartment remained empty. A cornice also reportedly became detached from one of the kitchen windows earlier this year and workers were sent to prevent it from causing further damage. On Sundays the Pope traditionally blesses crowds of pilgrims gathering in St Peter's Square from the window of the apartment, which includes the pope's bedroom, a private study and a medical suite. Three of the last six popes, John XXIII, John Paul I, and John Paul II, died inside the papal apartments. Earlier this year, the American Jesuit journalist, Father James Martin, said Leo's return to the apartments was a prudent decision. 'Leo's move should not be taken as a sign either of a critique of Pope Francis or as him not living 'simply',' the author wrote on X. 'We need to trust Pope Leo's discernment in this and all things – and wish him well in his new digs!'

O2 hands out FREE speed upgrade in 22 locations across UK & it's already live in four holiday hotspots
HOLIDAYING O2 customers will be able to bag a free speed upgrade at 22 locations across the UK. They're all holiday hotspots – and four of the speed boosts have already gone live. 2 O2 has vowed to upgrade 22 Haven holiday sites across the UK. It's part of what the network is calling its "Mobile Transformation Plan", promising better signal in "high-demand areas". Four sites already have O2's "improved 5G", including Thornwick Bay Holiday Park in Yorkshire and Skegness Holiday Park in Lincolnshire. And O2 says that more sites will be upgraded "this summer and early next year". "With more people choosing to holiday in the UK, we are working to improve our mobile network in some of the most popular staycation destinations," said O2's mobile access director, Dr Robert Joyce. "This work with Haven is a great example of our Mobile Transformation Plan in action. "Bringing more reliable connectivity to the places people need it most. "So whether our customers are off to Skegness, Berwick, or Cleethorpes, they can stay connected this summer." O2 is working with network giant Freshwave to upgrade the sites. Network bosses have vowed to pour £700 million into infrastructure this year to boost connectivity. Sun's tech editor shows NEW 4mm thin folding Samsung – & teases 'flip iPhone' too And O2 is upgrading Haven holiday parks due to higher demand. "Our guests and owners expect to stay connected," said Haven tech boss James Bromley. "Whether it's sharing memories, streaming entertainment, or working remotely. "I'm delighted that our investment in our parks has attracted O2 to ensure we're delivering the best possible experience to families choosing to holiday or own at our parks." Haven has 38 holiday parks across the UK, but not all of them are being upgraded – only 22 sites are getting the speed boost. Here's the full list, as sent to The Sun: Haggerston Castle Berwick Primrose Valley Blue Dolphin Thornwick Skegness Seashore Orchards Golden Sands Seton Sands Hopton Combe Haven Allhallows Thorpe Park Cleethorpes Reighton Sands Hafan y Mor Rockley Park Marton Mere Burnham Perran Sands Craig Tara Devon Cliffs Littlesea The upgrade comes just days after Vodafone and Three confirmed that they had jointly upgraded over 600 mast sites across the UK. And earlier this year, EE upgraded its speeds across 50 towns and cities. 2 O2 merged with Virgin Media back in 2021, absorbing its Virgin Mobile customers. And O2 also secured a deal with Vodafone to acquire a large 78.8MHz chunk of spectrum. That means the company holds just under a third of UK mobile spectrum, making it one of the nation's biggest network providers.
