Dying will be cheaper, and to some it will happen if we have a very cold winter

I will avoid the politics of this. I feel we should all take some comfort from one thing. The disaster which is facing millions of households across the country cannot be allowed to happen. If it does happen the country is quite simply f*****. Excuse me.
The government choice is simple:
Allow energy companies to take massive hits by supplying millions who simply cannot pay. This doesn't work.
Allow millions to fall into levels of debt which simply cannot be repaid. This doesn't work.
The only solution is for the government to pick up the bill for everyone. It might be an unpalatable fact for Truss but she has no choice. The alternative is economic collapse on a scale we may not have seen before.

We had a very pleasant afternoon sat in my Brother In law's garden being sociable, it was their 50th wedding anniversary today and they invited friends and family round and put on a buffet and drinks. it was interesting man handling my Good Lady up the steps, only three of them, into his back garden in her wheelchair but we managed it, I met up with him in the market this morning and helped him get the cake home, I had a look at it and it looked too nice to eat.

Its all crap anyway. Its just the price cap and isn't what most will actually use, in fact 99% of people will be turning everything off and will be using less electric I suspect so a price cap of £6,000 is meaningless.

As a friend pointed out to me all our utilities are nationalised already..........by other nations.

The fact that privatisation of utilities and the railways does not work is obvious to everyone other than people on the far right . Where faith and opinions are more importance than facts 😕😕😕.
We are not being led by a political party as we have know them , we are being led by a cult .😕🙁😕

I think you will find this is incorrect, most people pay sometime close to the price cap . The unit price of gas has gone up by about 140% , everyone will be paying A LOT more unless the government steps in .
