Gas & Electricity

[remember arthur mann]

And businesses aren’t subject to a cap, so expect a wave of closures and job losses.
Still, at least we’ve got control of our laws and borders and, always remember, ‘it’d be worse under Labour’.……..

Probably would, need to get the commies in power.

Might be worth some families if they can getting any elderly relatives and move them in over winter and club together their bills and shut one house down effectively. I really can’t believe this is going to happen, Covid will seem a piece of piss compared to this.

It isn`t just gas and elecy that will rise though is it . The forecasted rises will send shockwaves through every industry . Everything will jump up in price massively as companies try to recoup some of their out goings .

Also business's do not get their bills capped like we do.

They could just be a proposer regulator and set the price.

Except that they can only set the price the energy suppliers sell it to us. They can't set the price that the suppliers buy it from the wholesale markets in order to sell it to us (that is a global market price). All they would do is make all the suppliers go bust (a load have already). Who sells us the energy then - the government? And where do they get it from? The same high priced global markets as before.

Its a sh*t situation but there aren't any easy answers to it.

Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse - just had an email from City saying Coldplay are playing 2 nights there next summer.

There are some obvious things that can be done through international diplomacy to significantly lower the price of oil & gas and to consequently lower inflation. The problem is that the Government, and more importantly the US Government, which actually calls the shots, would rather play geopolitical games. To make matters worse, they’re currently choosing to escalate the tensions with China. I’m expecting things to deteriorate further, particularly as we move into winter.

Most people in this country support the Ukraine war. They should expect to make sacrifices for this...those sacrifices are coming
