It’s not the price cap so much as how we (and the presume other countries) calculate the cost of electricity. Something like the highest price of generation as you indicate. This is crazy and needs amending. Pretty sure old Kwasi was looking into this before he tried to tank the economy

Bit of good news. 87% electricity produced from zero carbon sources on a day recently…albeit a windy one ! https://www.edie.net/windy-weather-pushes-uk-past-zero-carbon-electricity-generation-record/?amp=true

Thats what I’m kind of suggesting. I can’t see that they can go ahead with the proposed increase in fuel duty without forecourt prices reducing. They should put pressure on BP and Shell to reduce profit per litre back to pre end of pandemic with the threat of another windfall tax. If they reduce...

I know that’s the plan but I just can’t see how they’ll be able to do that unless prices reduce at the pump first. I wouldnt be surprised if it was postponed but we’ll see

Yeah, that’s the gas price side of things is complex…and volatile. As the article says we need sustained low wholesale prices to start helping us as consumers Oil on the other hand is more stable and the petrol stations have taken the piss for far too long. I said a while back the government...

Get in ! Did well with that

Life’s hard enough without worrying about a load of ifs, buts and maybes that I’ve currently got no control over

The lords is a shitshow but I don’t see any really harmful stuff ever getting though.

To be fair I’m guessing he voted for the U.K. to be able to put in place whatever laws we want. If we don’t like what’s being put in place we can vote out the government every few years to change it. Our democracy shouldnt need another layer of law or interpretation from elsewhere. That’s not to...

Sorry, thought it said. Just party favourites Still haven’t forgiven Judas Sunak

According to some on here that’s just waggers and Kelly ! 😊

Reassuring 😬

Love the optimism/bullishness but realistically if we initially reinvested half of 15-20m I’d be happy enough. We bring in say 4 players on 10k+ per week, that alone could add a couple of million quid pa wages onto expenditure (less Viks wages) which needs to be taken into consideration in...

Yeah, massive backlog during pandemic though (unions 🙄) ..couldn’t resist

Agreed. Figure was dwarfed by the backlog of tests and licences. I won’t share thoughts on dvla on here…pushing my luck already 😊

I’ve been hearing/reading about it for months, USAs probably one of the worst. This is from a quick google search https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-10-17/germany-s-yawning-labor-shortage-squeezes-struggling-industry...

I don’t doubt that some of the the issues have been exacerbated by Brexit. My point was more that people are talking like it’s the root cause of the problems, when it’s not. It a majority of cases it’s relatively minor in the grand scheme of things (compared to Covid reproc That’s not to say...

You’re wasting your breath mate. People ignore the fact that there’s a massive shortage of staff in many western countries due to post pandemic illness and people choosing to leave the workforce…oh, and the fact that we still had 500k-600k net migration this year. We should be focussing on...

Saw the first one the other day. Not sure how I’ve never heard of it before. Will be watching the rest

Sure it was post covid when he went a bit wobbly. I think he’s a better keeper than Wilson but depends if his heads right now
