I think anything short of a year's cap at today's prices won't land particularly well. A year's cap would help get a sceptical British public more behind Truss.

Champagne opened! Dorries is returning to the back benches and Shapps is losing the transport role.

Is this actually confirmed or just rumour ?
What would they be frozen at ? The last (current) cap, or the new October cap ?

They are frozen to the new cap till January anyway hahaha
If it is as current prices the £400 in my case anyway will be pushed back into hands of Octopus as a larger buffer. I might keep £100 of it but the rest is going back. I was hoping any freeze would last a little longer. IE October Cap price till then end of 2023 at least. Just giving 3 months is not going to ease any anxiety imo

Re: New Prime Minister: Liz Truss
Is there a point where there are enough wings of the Tory party they earn the title the coalition of chaos?

Mick's quote seems to be from The Sun and cites insiders and announces "The Sun can reveal..."
So likely a government leak to see how the public react before announcing anything as official policy.

I have done so and that's why I agree with you mate. No criticism of you intended.

Re: New Prime Minister: Liz Truss
Looks like the price cap is the same as Labour only funded by borrowing rather than windfall fall tax and some borrowing.

Re: New Prime Minister: Liz Truss
She is flying 500 miles each way to Balmoral to be handed the keys to No 10 by the monarch before addressing the nation from Downing Street

He's planning to return.
