The Sunak interview is dangerous rubbish, reads like a man whose epicly bad campaign has melted his brain & he’s about to quit politics. Also pins blame *unfairly* on 🛒 & others. Will blog laterhttps://t.co/PG0YLZq5cZ

This truly is the end of days, not only has Cummings turned on Sunak (who he was supporting) he has defended Boris!

When it is a levy!
EXCLUSIVE: Whitehall officials planning subsidy scheme for energy intensive industries
— Alex Wickham (@alexwickham) August 23, 2022
One proposal is to add a levy to household energy bills (!)
Another sees subsidies funded by taxation
Next PM will decide which plan to choose, per sources familiarhttps://t.co/woRmqPxIWP
Not unsurprisingly politicians and media pundits et al are becoming very vexed about the forthcoming rise in energy bills.
The usual blame games are being played out, along with various solutions (some of which are more credible than others).
Whatever "solutions" the government eventually gets round to implementing it will be but a temporary fix (as the cause of the rise is supply and demand).
Britain and Europe have got their energy priorities in a complete mess over the last few years. Relying on Russia and going green has failed. Until the capacity is built into the network to supply green energy, and wean Europe off Russian gas, we will still be subject to price fluctuations of the oil and gas markets.
In the meantime Britain and Europe are screwed.
Judging by the amount of media coverage he is getting, it would seem that Gordon Brown is now leader of the Opposition.
With the promise of tax cuts galore Sunak is now entering the free owls territory of his campaign.
