I got a letter 3 weeks ago saying mine is going up £3 a month. Which is quite a lot for a Sim only contract.

That must be the unlimited data deal is it?
I rang up recently and was offered their £8pm deal for £7pm as a loyal customer which I accepted. This gives 1Gb data, 1000 minutes and unlimited texts which is reasonable.

Well, they have to recoup the losses they make due to the end of roaming charges in the EU....

Did anyone think they wouldn't? Even for those who never leave the UK?

That's ridiculous as the £8pm on their website gives you 1Gb, 1,000 minutes, unlimited texts. I would phone up and ask for this deal less the £1pm discount.
