Exactly as if Labour had a decent leader they would be way ahead in the polls given the grave crisis we have in this country now..

I read the other day that the Energy companies will be charging customers £150 a year if you do not have a Smart Meter. This is Blackmail to me. I do not have one yet but not really interested from stories I have heard.

They are offering their cheapest tariffs to customers who accept a Smart Meter - tariffs without a Smart Meter may cost up to £150 per year more.

Not all of the "they" are doing this. Some of the smaller companies do not do smart meters and are cheaper than the main 5.
Anyone who sticks with the same energy supplier all the time will pay for the reductions they offer new customers.

That’s because the smaller companies aren’t being mandated by the Government to install Smart Meters in their customers’ premises, so don’t have the overhead cost.

Yes i always go for the smaller cheaper companies. So what if 2 of them went bust ! Hasn't affected me at all, and i've got the cheapest (same) energy in the meantime.
As for Smart meters - don't trust them, they snoop on you and fry your brains  Seriously - if hacked, someone would be able to tell when you're away/out of the house, using no energy.

Quote from The Sun:
Theresa May's government could lose the support of its DUP allies unless the Tory party replace her with a new leader, according to reports.
The Northern Irish party would vote down the withdrawal agreement in Parliament, adding that its support now “depended on who the leader of the Conservative Party is,” The Daily Telegraph reports.
The party's deputy today savaged the PM in the Commons, saying she clearly "doesn't listen" to them and their Brexit demands.
Nigel Dodds told the Prime Minister this morning: "We stand up for the whole of the UK, the integrity of the UK or we vote for a vassal state with the break up of the UK."
He commended ex-Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab and DWP boss Esther McVey who both quit today over her Brexit deal.

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
And if they get rid of her it will be all out civil war in the Conservative party and make these last few days seem like a cosy tea party.

I don't think that a crash and burn situation would be good for the country, so let's not look forward to that with great relish, Den.

And there were plenty of backstabbing , power grabbing and assassinations during that time as well.

Leading Brexiteers in the cabinet have rallied behind Theresa May amid attempts to unseat her by Tory MPs.
Michael Gove said he "absolutely" had confidence in Mrs May as he confirmed he would not be following several other ministers out of the door.
And Liam Fox urged MPs to support the PM's draft Brexit agreement, saying a "deal was better than no deal".
Amber Rudd has been confirmed as the new work and pensions secretary after Esther McVey's resignation on Thursday.
A replacement for Dominic Raab, who also resigned as Brexit Secretary over the deal, has yet to be announced.
