The public wants help with home insulation and energy supplied by renewables
Truss not so much
The public do not want more fossil fuels
Truss’s backers want to prolong the fossil era and trash the climate
We’re getting the wrong PM at the worst possible time

Deeply disturbing to hear the parade of extremist, Brexiteer and Tufton Street economists given airtime to justify Truss’s fantasy economics
Sounds like Treasury will be going full Trump
While pound slumps, inflation soars, and we will be paying more for government borrowing

Russia suspends Nord Stream gas pipeline to Europe
We are European
Gas pipelines make this obvious and demonstrate absurdity of Brexit
Putin has long plotted to split Europe and is using energy as a weapon
In this crisis, we need a united Europe

UK households worst hit in western Europe, finds IMF on energy crisis
🔥 Dependence on fossil gas
🏡 Poorly insulated homes
💷 Biggest gap between rich and poor
12 years of Tory government has left us vulnerable to the energy crisis

Of course the futures prices have been paid at the artificially high rate - and we will pay for that either through bills or taxes

Speculators have been driving up gas prices and scary projections and panic have helped them
EU politicians' promise of major market intervention has stabilised market and prices now falling
While we have had no effective government at all
Thank god for the EU!

Can an expert explain this? Something wrong with the chosen insulation?
I found the reverse: my insulation keeps me warm in winter and cool in summer
RT @GavinHJackson: Something I don’t quite get: if we spend a lot insulating our houses from winter do we end up sweltering in the summer and need air con? Friends in well-insulated new builds complain they were like greenhouses during the heatwave.

Investors bet against UK bonds on rising inflation fears
‘UK is in a particularly fragile position . . . asking foreigners to fund’ plans for unfunded tax cuts and spending increases
We are paying more for our borrowing because of Truss’s incompetence

‘Don’t Pay’ energy bill protest gathers steam
Some people can’t pay; some people won’t pay
This will put intolerable pressure on the energy supply companies
The government should nationalize the Big Five now to avoid chaos this winter

Gorbachev was a rare politician who gave freedom to the people of Russia and Eastern Europe
And whose determination was to bring peace and end the Cold War
So sad that he died as the tyrant Putin is reversing his achievements
