Re: The energy crisis
I don’t think it’s necessarily an anti-Government position to think there should be something more comprehensive announced earlier. Consumer confidence (to the extent that exists at all any more) relies upon certainty, or at least a strong belief that something will happen. Otherwise people will be planning ahead to the extent they can, crushing discretionary spend in the economy and the industries that rely upon it until people know what will be affordable for them.

BBBUT having a prime minister in place to run the country and make these decisions wasn't as important as revenge for a slice of cake, you can't have your cake revenge and eat it.

Re: The energy crisis
There is a PM. Just because he's checked out in a massive sulk doesn't mean he isn't PM. If he had any sense of public duty he would do his job until it's finished.

As you well know nobody on here got rid of him, eventually it was his own party who realised he was a liability and got rid purely for self serving reasons though, not the good of the country.

Re: The energy crisis
This kind of inaction and self-obsession is more proof it was right the Tories got rid of him.

Smart meters I agree. But I've topped up on gas before the 1st increase and it'll stay at the rate I paid for it till it runs out. Which should be about another 4 years or so.

His own party got rid of him if my memory serves me right as nearly 60 ministers resigned before he himself resigned as prime minister.
It was a Tory party coup, nothing more, nothing less.

He could announce the next package of support and not worry that the new candidates would prefer to do it. He is the PM. He still has tools at his disposal.

Really? What kind of system is that? Usually most of these you're topping it with cash and it charges that amount by the cost of energy at the time of usage.
