Not sure how energy will stay down with a load of foreign private companies controlling that sector. It seems they offer a short term decrease in prices for the summer when they know demand is at its lowest and jack it back up again when we need it most

It's true, look at Saudi with the oil price for example, the have the line project to finish too, Of course with all the deals signed lsst week who knows how thst will play.
The prediction is for it to fall as much as the last increase, and then likely fall for the next two quarters and I can belive that tbh.
I think the markets riggable along with Offgem!

Energy is coming down and predicted to stay down so quite substantial on its own.
Predictable market forces and Offgem, a marriage made in heaven for Govts to do whatever they wish with a slush fund!

Seriously, do you believe energy prices will stay down?

The energy cap increased by 6.4% from the 1st of April to June.

Energy prices are higher now than what they were in January and even IF they come down slightly in the summer they will still be higher than then what they were in January.

Let's wait and see if they come down by MORE than 6.4% in July.

Privatisation has been an unmitigated failure for the man in the street hasn't it?

Well with the shit show we've seen from the energy companies and water companies.

The overwhelming answer has to be YES.

Not according to the pundit there's a lot of initiatives around deals that have been done recently, not just in this country, but across the pond!

Absolutely, creating water privatised monopolies with no free market competition was a license to make money for shareholders and CEOs.
What is even worse is their failure to invest enough to deliver an effective service.

 

[LastGarrison]

I hear that DK is waiting for the release of the Viveash podcast on The Cov Pod before deciding how much to increase the prices of the boxes!

Twice the normal rate?

For those calculating the increased revenue, you've not removed the inclusive tax which isn't ours!

I've also heard news out today and only a small increase with some age bands adjusted, but reluctant to put my cock on the block to be outed if it's inaccurate!

 

[clint van damme]

but reluctant to put my cock on the block

Probably for the best with that restraining order in place

Low or high block?

 

[TewkesburySkyBlue]

Oh yes because public sector workers don't pay tax. Tax payers money given to those wasters at Buck Palace , tax cuts for the billionaire class and for Zelenskey and co to buy a few more mansions in Miami

What strange comments?

I think that’s true in all of these areas. Energy, water the railways all very expensive and all catering for the needs of shareholders rather than customers.
Energy, water and even transport are basic human needs. Surely they should be provided to people at cost price (add on a percentage for infrastructure needs) without fat cats making money on them.

You could add housing to your second paragraph.

Unfortunately, the cult of St. Margaret still prevails.

Human greed will always override everything, it always has !

It's not some relative ambitious switch to privatisation, it's a tool that is being used to milk all of us dry while we exist and will happen more and more, that kind of thinking is obsolete now,.

Add broadband and telephone, mobile connectivity. They're just utilities. Having them privatised with duplicated sales, marketing, customer service, tech teams etc just adds huge cost, as well as prioritising shareholders.

Add iPhones to list of ‘basic needs’ too.

 

[Saddlebrains]

When did this thread become fucking mumsnet?

 

[stgeorge1966]

Yeah lets stick to when do the season ticket information get released shall we, my guess is TODAY

 

[clint van damme]

When did this thread become fucking mumsnet?

When you joined in!

 

[clint van damme]

Yeah lets stick to when do the season ticket information get released shall we, my guess is TODAY

Guess?!

 

[Macca1987]

Yeah lets stick to when do the season ticket information get released shall we, my guess is TODAY

If you keep saying TODAY you will be right one time

 

[stgeorge1966]

Yeah sorry my so called ITK reputation is in tatters and i have told my source this, so unless i hear something that is 100% i am keeping things to myself But the retained list will be published today

Reckon if we vote for a privately educated metals trader that wants to privatise the NHS it’ll sort this.

No handsets have wide choice like food, you want to nationalise networks that create monopolies. I’m not sure mobile networks fall under that though. Open Reach 100% does.

What’s this got to do with season tickets?

Gents, I was being snarky in response to the growing list of ‘basic needs’.

 

[MalcSB]

Labour government will sort it all out.

No critical service (light and heat, water etc) should be run as profit making company. It’s ridiculous.

Anglian Water have paid out millions in dividends whilst my water bill has gone to £110 a month. They say these companies need to make profit to invest in infrastructure but all the drains around me are full of dirt. They’ve invested fuck all.
