It's already absorbed a 40% rise and Brexit red tape costs but to survive it must move.

The Netherlands has a 5% energy price cap which the business can absorb. This is another reason why we need action now, not in September.

Stop being alarmist, Andrew. You do realise that the new PM will be in office in less than three weeks, don’t you?

Whatever people say, we are not getting any decisions before that. The options available to the PM are still being drawn up. Liz is not going to be one to splash the cash like Moneytrees Starmer. Any help to individuals and businesses will be properly targeted so that we are not benefiting those that don’t need it.
