Off Topic Politics Thread

I posted the following a few days ago, which explains how energy companies, that produce energy comparatively cheaply, are allowed to sell it at the same price as a company that produces it at a vastly higher rate, which means there most definitely is scope to reduce the cost of energy. If the government wants to protect the companies that are forcing the high prices, then that should be THEIR responsibility and not the responsibility of the consumer. My utilities were supplied by Octopus, all from renewable sources, which meant that my prices were inflated, if they were selling it to me at the same price as the energy being generated by companies using gas.

 

There are def things that can be done. But ultimately the energy sector is about to collapse.

Just like Lehman bro’s in 2008, except this time in the energy industry. Apparently is a huge amount of margin calls going out onto energy firms. This could cause the collapse of the energy markets.

This will then mean the government will have to bail the sector out, meaning more inflation and price rises for us. Also still won’t fix the underlying problem of too little supply of energy.

Proper **** storm incoming. Like i said, for all the emotion of protecting Ukraine, when the rubber hits the road I don’t think it is worth a financial collapse in Europe.

 

Yes

Well, there's no risk of Liz Truss being categorised as a great orator is there?

 

The Deputy Prime Minister and Secretary of State for Health:

 

I was just going to post that .

what an advert , makes you proud doesn’t it ?

 

I like this photo, with the report that Cassie was “giggling” as she shook hands with this military man. Her demeanour is like that of a teenager meeting a boy she fancies, IMO. I think the look on Johnson’s face tells it’s own story.
When’s the divorce?

 

More like, when’s the body getting washed up in the river?

 

Call to Darius Guppy.

 

How can this country end up with someone as utterly stupid as Truss as PM? Before she got the job, she demonstrated her lack of diplomacy by alienating the French, our closest neighbours who she doesn`t trust, and the Scots, who`s leader she wants to ignore and avoid having another independence referendum. Sturgeon meantime has made the right noises by saying she`ll try to have a productive relationship with Truss. Truss already has no respect abroad and is known as the `iron weathercock` because she can`t stick to her principles. Yesterday during her wooden speech outside No10, she lavished praise on BJ, who was booted out by her party as his position was untenable. All while her cuckolded husband looked on like a spare part, like a complete stranger. She blames our current situation entirely on Putin and COVID, as if the last 12 years of Tory misrule and Brexit never happened.
She is manna from heaven for Labour and the SNP. The majority of Tory MPs don`t want her - she`s filled her cabinet with her supporters irrespective of whether they are best for the job or not, thus disenfranchising herself further. The Tories have no chance in the next election with her in charge, so they need to get rid of her well before then.

 

Cuckolded husband? Are you saying he just looks that way?

I would expect some kind of vote of no confidence. Maybe even try to put Boris back on the next ballot and hope people’s memories are so short term that they only compare him to Truss rather than himself

 

This is just brilliant

 

Truss has had (at least one) an affair.

 

Continuing on a theme from the previous PM at least

 

I was reading about her yesterday, hilarious. She's up for a joke and enjoying herself answering loads of tweets, if you look at the one from the Swedish prime minister a lot of Swedes liked the joke too.
Her comment today was "Phew what a day!"

 

The page must be getting too much attention as it was down, just now.

 

You think you are having a bad day, I've now got Jacob Rees Mogg as my boss.

 

Very blunt but I’ve often thought same. Very difficult situation but until there’s a solve in Ukraine, which I doubt there will be, fuel prices will be at these levels for a considerable time.

 

I hope you have a forelock worthy of tugging. Ask him what his opinion is on working from home.
My niece will now be working with Kwasi Kwarteng and her hubby will be reporting to James Cleverly.
I don’t know much about KK, other than the part he played in the writing of Britannia Unchained (which probably makes him a ****), but Cleverly has always struck me as callous and cold, and has the perfect face to play the baddy in a Bond film. Still at least he keeps his horses warm.
