With what’s to come over the next 4 months it’s going to leave the electorate wondering why?

Pimplyteen are you aware that the pricecao is based on raw energy prices with only a 1-2 %max profit allowed. Banni g profit would save an average customer £50 a year... welcome but small beer.

Am not convinced Fatticus. Perhaps your not able to explain where this £170 billion will come from. surely you study the treasury report and thought it looked suprisingly high. Do you really think a few companies are making so much profit they can easily afford £170 billion. Can you name the companies and approx excess profits. Have you even got a link to the treasury report?
