Regardless of wholesale energy costs thereās some scalping going on.
If the government cared then theyād either restrict the profits energy companies can make or threaten to impose punitive windfall taxes.
Aināt gonna happen.

Holy crap.
Mines going up from circa £140 to near £400
And Johnson and cronies think this sort of thing is acceptable??
What choice does he have?
Cap the rate to make any difference and all of the power companies go bust?
Subsidise every household to the tune of a £2000 per year (50bn pa)? (Yeah but track and trace - I thought I would save people some time)
The prices are globally set and the fact of life is a mad Russian cunt is fucking it up for everyone
Take back into public ownership maybe?
Stop exporting our own gas maybe? Compell the private UK gas producers to sell only to the UK at a reasonable price maybe?
Ok I know this is the Daily Fail -
Thatās what the French have done - if only we all rioted and set cars on fire when we got fucked overā¦
Iād love it if I had a 35 work week and legally couldnāt do any work outside of it (having had to do work on both Saturday and Sunday this week)
That is all well and good. But to do all that, you lot would basically becomeā¦
French.
You kissed goodbye to any chance of that when Corbyn got stabbed.
Not sure that all things French is the nirvana that you think it is
The key part of the story is that the UK doesnāt have the storage so we export it to Germany and the Netherlands and then we reimport it when we need it
The cost of storage is obviously added on, although there would be a cost of storage here as well
We donāt have the storage because the Government decided to close down the Thistle Field storage and buy on the open market. Not a good decision.
Old established Polish Industrial organisations start at 7 am so have to be on site at 07:15 each day for training and to have someone on site collect me from āsecurityā meaning an 05:45 alarm call
See COVID thread.
Just packing up, ready to sneak off early, and someone contacts you with an āurgentā problem
Leave earlier- problem solved
No charge.
After pleasant evening with friends on Emsworth, being shoved off the motorway at junction 7 on the way home.
WTF are they closing the motorway for now - theyāve only just opened the cunting thing!!! perhaps changing it back to a normal motorway from a smart motorway - anyone know?
Took over an hour to get home on a 30 minute journey, and had to suffer passing through 32 sets of traffic lights getting to the other side of Southampton!
When I was a young man we used to have competitions travelling from one side of Southampton to the other without being stopped at traffic lights. There are now twice as many, and itās no longer any fun.
Queuing for priority passes for Disneyland, Paris even though we have booked them ahead of time.
The irony is strong in this oneā¦
