Just move sofa away from the radiators ffs come on
And whatever you do don't mention the impact of Brexit. Blame it all on Covid and Ukraine.BBC defending her against a Lib Dem's criticism by saying 'come on, you're not being fair'. 12 years in charge and always being let off the hook while anyone else has to observe far higher standards.
I'm pretty sure there are better options. I'd start with ones that don't involve loaning private companies public money so that they can continue to make huge profits in a crisis.
France is buying the remaining shares in EDF for €9.7B. On that Basis the French government could have brought EDF twice if they didn’t have any shares in it in the first place for that £100B. To say we’re being taken for mugs is an understatement.
I think doing them through tarrifs once up and online you can pretend the surcharge within the bill is not a tax.I don’t think it’s as simple as that. EDF are 40bn in debt and need to spend something like 100bn on repairs and replacement of existing plants as half aren’t working properly. I’d imagine France will also be buying gas on the wholesale market this winter
I do think the government should be investing and keeping ownership of a lot of the new renewables energy generators though, off shore wind etc. I’m also not sure why they don’t pay for and own any new nuclear plants themselves as well. Im not sure you’d be able to get any of the companies like edf to build them for us if we did that though
Aren’t we footing most of the estimated £20B bill for Sizewell C? And there’s already talk that the cost is going to double. If you’re assuming that privatisation has spared us the cost of investment in new power plants and things like maintenance of the grid I think you’re going to be disappointed when you find out the truth. I think EDF are banking on us footing a large part of the bill in return for their involvement aren’t they?I don’t think it’s as simple as that.

I agree - are we at the point yet where solar panels are worth investing in?Or even, you know, paying for insulation.

Could be worse. You could be one of the Tory MP’s not talented enough to get in it.The fucking state of this cabinet
Exactly as bad as we expected, but fucking hell
Shocking. You wouldn't put him in charge of a vacuum cleaner let alone the most important challenge facing the world.Good grief
I find it difficult to think of anyone i find more sinister than Priti Patel but she makes it.Suella Braverman is Home Secretary. She makes Priti Patel look like mother Theresa.

I remember that album. Think it was called The Disaster.
Is this the time where I float my idea of having the major offices of state elected, maybe with weighting for industry votes?
I can’t imagine many teachers voting in Cleverly, or lawyers voting in Braverman.
Handy that the Chancellor lives next door isn't it...Kwasi is the chancellor at least we know he works well with the new prime minister
If you cap prices though you either loan the companies who provide energy to customers public money or they’ll go bust as many need to buy gas on the wholesale market.
If the proposal is done in conjunction with further direct assistance for the poorest it’s probably the best out of a bad bunch of options for reasons mentioned previously. You then look separately at some sort of further windfall tax on excess profits of energy generators/oil companies which can help fund direct assistance - not sure Truss will do this but we’ll see
I think the only issue with it is that it guarantees corporate influenceIs this the time where I float my idea of having the major offices of state elected, maybe with weighting for industry votes?

Is that Priti Patel's black heart under there?
If they are still in charge in 2026 I imagine it will only be landed gentry and above that are eligible to vote.Fast forward to 2026's leadership election, and I'll be saying how reasonable Pritti Patel looks compared to the other candidates...
