Why do you think the Government would put a windfall tax in, in winter if they haven't done it already? There's absolutely no evidence to suggest that they are even considering it.

By winter millions of people will be in large amounts of debt and poverty because they can't afford to pay for their utilities.

It's Labour's fault for not going nuclear though.
I appreciate that making difficult long term decisions may not be your kind of politics (you gloss over the bad nuclear decisions for example) but what if a short term windfall tax leads to a long term withdrawal of investment in renewal energy sources, and so we have another problem in a few years? Thats the governments concern.

Worth noting as well, that with increased profits they will be paying increased taxation too.

I'm open minded on a windfall tax, but how I can see how it's a short term fix that may be a bad decision in the long run
