   It was the UK gov that scrapped the feed in tariff , all of UK gas storage ,the EV green grant
   Went onto raise the VAT on all things solar from 5% to 20% and a lot more .
   Mitsubishi walked away from Hinkly point contract .
   In deals done with the EU UK imported energy from the EU via 5 under sea pip & cable grid links with France /Sweden & Norway .
   The bulk of the wind & solar in the UK are owned by foreign corporations , UK oil & gas energy corporations went off shore to avoid UK taxes .

   UK green energy supplies appx 12% on a good windy day in summer come winter the solar bottoms out , wind turbines dont work in low wind conditions and are shut down in high wind conditions like storms .

   Russia has turned off the taps to the EU the result of that coming up to winter is an energy shortage , the UK government has that in hand via the save the planet green save you some money smart meters ,which in times of an energy crisis can be shut down via their wirless post code based system ,the domestic supply is cut off and the bremaining energy goes to government buildings & industry . the smart meter is an energy management device its not green and it wont save the planet its there to control energy when there is an energy crisis & thats the real reason its called smart .

   If you have roof top grid tied solar ,its going to cut out in a power cut because its grid tied .
   If you have solar & a battery set up it will get you through untill the batteries run down .
   Some people are yaking out the grid tied inverter & buying an off grid one putting in a battery set up they then fit a twin socket in the kitchen for the appliances to be used ONE AT A TIME and then plug the fidge /freezer in ,as the appliances are your big hitters .

   To see what your actualy Kwh is costing you take the entire amount of your bill & turn it into pence then divide the Kwh into it the result is a killer .
   For reasons better known to themselves the energy companies are hiking up the charges for the meters .
   This charge can vary depending on what plan you go for , the price of your plan can depend on if you choose a cheaper Kwh you will find the meter charges are higher and or it is a plan where the meter is put on the flexible rate ,the meter can scan for the latest price hike every 30 minuets . It can also depend on the time of the contract eg 1 yr /18months /or 2 yrs .

   Enery consumption now is a priority you need to buy an energy meter off ebay plug it into the socket then plug your appliance into it ,put in your energy rate and it will the voltage watts ,amps how long its been on for & the cost .
   Check the wattage on your applances you should be able to a lower wattage one a kettle can be 3kw or 2 kw , a cooker can be halogen , induction or just an elment & range from 1500w to 2000w per ring , there are stand alone hologen cookers out there that use a lot less ,we have one , all our lights through out are 5w LED,s ,kettle is 2kw ,we now have 2 electric fires the eliments are 500w each and will be putting them on timers come winter ,at present our electric is 22p kwh so on 1 bar it will cost 11p per hour 2bars 22p hour .

   We are buying some big AGM batteries ,couple of big solar panels , small generator & an all in one off grid inverter ,we not going off grid just paying a lot kess for their energy !

   All replies on a brick please !

   Any headline inflation figure which ignores house prices is meaningless. We’ve had high inflation for a decade.

   Well, really we are still paying the price of the 2008 crash. Inflation has been sort of suppressed(at least according to the official inflation figures – but that's because they didn't include property prices) because of money printing. We have run-up massive public debt even before the lockdowns were implemented. As for energy prices, well – it doesn't help that we are subsiding renewables at massive cost, have shortage of available energy for the UK because we weren't allowed to frack and the nuclear power plants being behind schedule to be built – so being reliant on a lot more imported energy sources. Then there's the fact that the government locked everyone down on multiple occasions, and business slowed a huge amount.

    All sorts of reasons but 'working from home' and the utter failure to shrug off eu rules and regulation are right up there at the top.

    Because the WEF holds all stop/go power in all global economies. There's no longer any national economies anymore.

    The great British piss take. As long as they can squeeze every penny they can get from us every week or month then the economy, covid, recession, BREXIT, war in Ukraine the list is unending are just excuses or something to hide behind as the piss is taken daily against the British people by this government.

    Pretty obvious. High costs, high taxes, overbearing government, effects of lockdown and a highly leveraged economy moving into unavoidable higher interest rates.

    Just to pay the interest on the UK debt is costing us £83 BILLION a year of your money.

    It is only going to get worse under sunak and imbecile johnson whom goes to Ukraine because he assumes he’s Churchill whilst we can’t get delivery of basic petrol or diesel because of demonstrations blocking deliveries.

    You can't build back better unless you completely destroy what came before it (prosperity, jobs, growth, wealth). All part of the WEF plan for the plebs to own nothing.

    maybe the welfare budget is skyhigh so why not ship out all the male dinghy divers staying in 4 star hotels and ship them back to France they were all safe in France that would make some room for the women and children from the Ukraine

    Partly because every time a little prosperity starts to occur Boris starts a lockdown or "not ruling it out". Who would invest is a nation that does that?
