    For anyone worried about soaring electricity bills, an eye-catching advertisement in newspapers this week may have caused some confusion.

    'Will your business have power this winter?' read the blurb, before offering two gas-fired power stations – for hire.

    The plants, Sutton Bridge in Lincolnshire and Severn, near Newport, south Wales, could be producing enough electricity for nearly two million homes, but instead they sit idle – at a time when electricity companies are warning of power shortages.

    When the two power stations were built, in 1999 and 2010 respectively, their operators were confident that gas would provide the mainstay of Britain's electricity needs for decades to come.

    Under our privatised system, power stations have to compete to sell electricity to consumer energy companies. But gas was fairly cheap – and much cleaner than coal – so Severn and Sutton Bridge were very competitive.

    That began to change, however, with the 2008 Climate Change Act. In a bid to reach the-then target of cutting carbon emissions by 80 per cent by 2050, Gordon Brown's government ramped up a scheme called the renewables obligation, forcing energy companies to buy a certain amount of their electricity from clean sources – wind or solar.

    At the same time, Westminster and Brussels began piling carbon taxes on the owners of gas plants, which then struggled to compete.

    Surprised The Mail has gone with this angle when the copper who shot him has just been found guilty of manslaughter.

    This is actually a true story .

    I knew a few people that worked for Norwich Union which turned into Aviva.

    One girl was excited that she was being flown out to India to train up the locals to learn how the call centre works .

    Norwich Union used to be one of the biggest employers in the city .
