Re: The energy crisis
 
Some reporter on Sky says she has a source that says Truss is on about a cap on wholesale prices rather than cap on bills but what if the wholesalers will not sell it to us at the capped price hmmm

No, there will be a law forcing them to do so. I think the implementation of it is just down to where you direct the compensation.

Cynics will no doubt point out that Truss once worked for Shell but unless you're a career politician, such things will always come up.

Some disagreement over if they'll borrow it or if it's a 'loan' the companies take out - back by the Government - that we consumers pay back over the next 10/20 years.

Professional career. From 1996 to 2000, Truss worked for Shell, during which time she qualified as a Chartered Management Accountant (ACMA) in 1999. In 2000, Truss was employed by Cable & Wireless and rose to economic director before leaving in 2005.

I suffer from clinical anxiety exasperated by brain damage I received as a child. This sort of shiz really triggers me

This one does not look so great. £2500 cap still get the £400. I do not think the paywall killer cleared all of the story

£2500 is better than the alternative £3549 per year and it looks like the £400 rebate is still there.

She might not go into the fine details, today has been a busy day for her.

It's lookling like £2,500 - paid for by borrowing and not a loan or a windfall tax - but with the £400 rebate brings it closer to the current price. You will pay more from October but not as much and get £400.
