****ing disgrace...*****

[Cleve van Leef]

A way of “bedding in” the rise now so people will just accept it. It’s absolutely shocking

Nasty My Corbyn wanted to take the national grid back into public ownership.He also wanted to set up an energy company similar to EDF in France where energy increases were limited to 4%.

Did Mr Corbyn also want to build lots of nuclear power stations?

Yep if only they'd let him plant those magic beans for the magic money tree's we'd have been in clover by now.

Don’t worry I’m sure CCMBs very own Martin Lewis, Life on Mars, will be on to share some more money saving tips and to defend his beloved Tories.

Already seen someone on Facebook saying we'd be eating our own pets under Corbyn, honestly this country is thick as shit.

It is terrible by the way, but governments can't anticipate Russian invations and most of the World face the same issues, at a time when the after affects of Covid and the Global economy transportation issues, hit at the same time it's going to be a tough year or two!

Can Drakeford implement a windfall tax? Does he have control over energy policy?

No but he has control of the NHS which is failing badly, but hey thats not important he had longer lockdowns than England and was able to slow down the welsh economy to a greater extent than England could.

Incredible whataboutery. The NHS is failing because its had 12 years of austerity. Wales has also had budget cuts handed to it by Westminster meaning all services struggle.

Im honestly pissing myself laughing at this pathetic attempt to change the subject.

The narative was with Corbyn we would have been fine, well Corbyn junior runs in Wales and we are in a much worse state?

Corbyn junior runs in Wales

Now I am 100% certain you know naff all about politics.

Drakeford’s budget are imposed on him by Westminster, as well you know. The Tories are underfunding the NHS to bring it to its knees so they can privatise it. As we can see from transport, water and energy, that is a bad deal for the public

Thick as pig shit or a wind up merchant........I’m inclined towards the former.

From a Corbyn fan

I fixed mine at the low price with Brittish Gas in September until March 2024, back then there was talk of price increases and it was never going to go down, especially with all the green agenda, a long term fix seemed so obvious.

Didn't you fix yours?

[Pearcey3]

I remember back in the late 80’s when the Tory privatisations started going through. There were not many willing to stand up for keeping utilities nationalised. Things are very different now.

a lot of people were getting on the " gravy train " of buying at privatisation and selling quickly, making nice couple of quid from memory

Yep

[Pedro de la Rosa]

Anyone who votes Tory is culpable for this mess. It’s beyond a joke and how any normal person thinks they’ve got their best interests at heart is beyond me

Prices were going through the roof before Russia invaded Ukraine. It hasn’t helped but it isn’t the reason why prices are so high.
