I would prefer the GOV to have not got rid of our gas storage capabilities, I would of preferred the GOV not to of shut down our last form of back up power I would prefer the GOV not to rely on wind and solar for our power like the last 2 or 3 weeks without either. I would prefer the GOV to secure our energy rather than just cutting people off. If EVs are the problem then perhaps its would be better to restrict who can have them --- hold on wait min - that will come next.
The sm tek, at best reports your 30 minute consumption data, as a single batch or string of data, at the end of each day. That data can take up to an additional 24 hours, to make it to your supplier. Which unfortunately confirms you are making things up, to suit your retoric.
Economy 7 maybe ?
That turned out to be a con as well because the standing charge cost more.

Now that, I can agree with!
I dont see your argument - so you are saying that they can do all I said but only what I did yesterday. And there is no rhetoric - I am saying it can be done and I am saying how easy it would be to do it.
How useful, is old consumption information, to anyone? Answer = of no practical use to anyone, except the supplier, and perhaps the customer.
The graph below, simply shows what pay and paid, for each and every 24 hours, irrespective of when I used it, during the 24 hours, or how much electric or gas I used. The near straight dotted white and yellow lines are the SVT CAP prices, the prices almost everyone pays. The sig-zagging line below it what I actually paid over the past year.
Notice in the graphs below, that what I pay, has increased gradually, and on a couple of days, even exceeded the CAP - That is due to the poor wind and solar generation, particularly during the past month. All of which is more than compensated for, when I pay low rates, like 10p Kw for the day, and everyone is paying the CAP, at 27p per Kw.
Of course you need to have smart meters, not so they can spy on you, but so they know how much you used, each day, at which charge rate. Of course you can save some, by watching the cost for each day, but as it's generally cheaper, or even much cheaper at times, you save considerably, just carrying on with your consumption as you normally would.
It's the Octopus Tracker Tariff, which is based on the spot price on the energy market, plus a bit to cover Octopus's operating costs, VAT, plus a margin of profit.
what were those special offers then ? and when were they offered

How would they know when you were using the power?
The man (or woman) at the other end of the pipe would be working their nadgers off, rather than loafing around
