Gas and electric

British Petroleum.

 

Towards the beginning of the year my Tory MP told me it was OK we only relied on Russia for 4% of our gas supplies. I have written back asking him why the increase?

 

...and why is it more than 4%

 

Just been reading about them putting their utilities through expenses so they wont give a Marmite

chancellor Zahawi has a nerve, telling everybody today “ to cut back on energy usage”…..the rat had to pay back money claimed for heating his stables. It was an oversight though

 

I wouldn't trust him anymore than the previous incumbent https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news...-past-business-dealings-of-the-new-chancellor

 

They have to give you those rates unless you have accepted a fixed rate deal (higher or lower) , have a pre-payment meter (higher) or live in NornIron as they have a different regulator so they do.

 

I wasn't saying it was "British" petroleum, but rather "British Petroleum" (The PLC).

 

A large number of local pubs,and hog venues are suffering with 450% energy price increases..

 

I thought it stood for Bloody Parasites.

 

This is not a good read. Politics aside, we don't come out of the IMF's report well.

Can't believe vacuuming is only 10p an hour.
My cleaner is demanding the national minimum wage now!

 

So it looks like Mrs Thatcher, er sorry, Liz Truss is going to bring in a price freeze for 18months and it’s rumoured to be at about £2.5k a year. That still seems an awful lot of money to me when the price cap is currently £1900 ish. If we’ve got to borrow a ton of money to get us through this, like the furlough scheme, would it have made much difference long term to just freeze it at todays prices?

The sooner this country becomes independent in energy production the better. If that means loads more nuclear to back up the renewables then so be it I say. How can a g7 country be held to ransom by lunatics and big multinational businesses.

If any more proof was needed that these suppliers are on the take, as I mentioned recently OVO were pestering me to sign up to £545 a month for two years. Now yesterday that’s dropped to £352. They are desperate to get people to sign up to any long term price they can to lock people in before the government brings in help and claw in as much money as they can. Disgusting businesses the lot of them.

 

It’s alright we have old Rees-Mogg in charge of business and energy he will get those coal fired power stations back on line in a week and send the poor kids down the mine
