3. They allow Ofgem to set the price cap to ensure companies don't fail, not to ensure that citizens can afford the price (protecting profits not people). But if the people can't pay the companies can't sell the energy, so this is a lose lose system.

2. They bailed out Bulb to the tune of £2 billion from govt funds instead of turning it into a publicly owned company and using it as the solution for customers without a surviving for profit company.

1. When an energy distribution company fails due to the rising cost of fossil fuels, they transfer the customers to another private profit company and transfer the cost of the failed company's debts to the energy bills of other citizens, pushing up energy tariffs accordingly.

A list of some completely lunatic (and unfair) things that the UK govt has done so far in the cost of living crisis, that have made things 1000x worse. Feel free to add more.

Anyone else got a Twitter bug which makes the app suddenly quit every time you add a hashtag that's anti Brexit or anti the Tory "government", so you lose the tweet? 🧐

Ha ha, the deluded think there is positive Brexit news that's being silenced 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
And don't realise that the pro 🇪🇺 chorus is getting louder because we're utterly undeceived and happily pointing out exactly what is happening in the UK.

RT @greenmattbfd: 🇬🇧 Meanwhile in the UK, the Conservatives have spent the summer trying to put people off using the railway.
🪧 They have tried to cut jobs and refused to negotiate with unions.
🤦 And the #rail companies like Avanti have slashed service due to a lack of staff.

European commission looking to separate electricity prices from gas, finally allowing electricity to reflect the lower prices of renewables. If only we could have that too. But we have no leaders to sort it out.
