I think Life on Mars is Boris Johnson. The similarities are all there. Five minutes of gobbledygook, the interview is over, nobody has a clue what was said.
Our hero pinning all this on a levy introduced by a Labour government in 2002 conveniently glosses over the fact that more recently the index linking with inflation was broken and the rates have doubled in the last 4 years.
When the National Insurance rise kicks in he will probably pin it on Lloyd George.
What happened to Bunters promise that we would all have cheaper gas after Brexit

More lies.
Oh and this £200 energy rebate is actually a loan which will put bills up an extra £40 every year. It’s bad enough bribing voters with their own money, but lending people money and pretending it’s a grant anyone fooled by this
If these energy price rises can't convince the tories that renewables are the way forward we'll be stuck on gas and oil forever and forever at the whim of the countries that produce it.
****ing hell reading some of the posts on here is a waste of life.
LoM you are thick as ****. Any one who thinks this is caused by green lobbying is also thick as **** and past help.
We need total home-grown energy security in the UK. Maybe these huge rises in energy prices will be the stimulus required to get every one of us to look at energy saving measures so that the overall demand will come down, with consequently less and less reliance on gas in the first place. Also we need more investment in green technology - necessity being the mother of invention and all that....
Gas from Russia.Cable for Electricity running from France to the UK.Brexit my arse.
The Tories privatisation of gas and electricity is going well.Talk about the chickens coming home to roost...
I beleive the Germans capped there mines we flooded ours.
Theres no deals out there.The cheapest tariff is the price cap.90% of the Country run there houses on gas central heating.By the way the price cap will go up again in October this year and next April.Sunaks loan and 150 quid is pissing in the wind.
The 1980s have returned.When I bought my house I paid 45k on a 13% mortgage.Now some people have 200k mortgages.Its going to get grim,
And just to cheer us up. The price cap isn't actually a price cap. It's based on what an average household would use. So if you use more you pay more. But on the other hand if your like my son. He walks around in his boxers, all day even in the freezing cold. No his gas bill zero
Billionaire Chancellor, Rishi Sunak, advised struggling families to take out credit to pay for their energy bills.
BP celebrated a staggering $20 BILLION profit, ensuring massive dividends for their shareholders, including many Tory MP's and Peers.
Johnson in 2016 "BREXIT will guarantee lower fuel prices"
Meanwhile, in Parliament, Johnson makes a snide remark about Starmer for not prosecuting Savile, despite Savile being the darling of the conservatives, a campaigner for the conservatives, appointed to oversee a hospital by the conservatives (where he was abusing children and corpses), knighted due to the conservatives and even after his death defended by some conservatives - Norman Tebbit.
Happy Friday.
I've sobered up now, my spell check is back working, my typing hand /fist is no longer swollen .
We could be self efficient if we didn't restrain ourselves so much now , yes renewables are the answer in the long term, surely it’s about the timing and how we get there .
The green levy is being paid and hurting consumer especially now as world prices go up driven by foreign governments decisions and our lack of self efficiency..
Yes the climate act change in 2008 affected us all sadly its not delivered the benefits quick enough by suspending it we buy some time for the needy .
We actual don't need to import energy we could use our reserves just to get over the next few years we sit on hundreds of years’ worth of coal / oil
We buy in trillions of tonnes of coal to burn whilst we are sat on it
We import Electricity even though we have wind / solar farms, sadly when there is little wind or sun we run low .
USA is now self-efficient by using shale , which we temporary could exploit , the USA kilowatt power is half that of UK .
Why are we not building Nuclear Power stations ?? Hopefully the Roll Royce builds will come on line soon
The wholesale price for gas and electricity has doubled under the new energy cap leading to windfall profits for the extraction and generating companies. Compensating energy suppliers for taking on customers from failed suppliers caught out by those rises has added around £70 to the tariff.
The green levy, which is applied to energy companies and rebated if they use renewables raised £2 billion per annum. Under the new cap energy companies have been allowed to increase their profits by 60% from £23 to £37 per tariff. The extra VAT raised on the higher prices results in an extra £2 billion into treasury coffers.

Still, Ed Milliband and the green levy, foreign governments and lack of "self efficiency" eh. Glad you have sobered up.
Brexit Britain is looking such a brilliant place. Cant even get my blue passport for a couple of years.
