I try not to believe all the hype. Sometimes it's easy but sometimes it's not ! Glory to Ukraine! Justice for the Sub Post Masters !

We've reached a level of absurdity where "Customer Service" means talking to a chatbot that doesn't understand your question, waiting on hold for 45 minutes, and then explaining your problem to three different people who all ask for the same information. It's designed to make you give up.

@felixprehn @grok which Companies have pricing power.
businesses that can pass higher costs on to their customers without losing them. Strong brands. High gross margins. Companies where customers don't have a cheaper alternative.
which companies are high-quality?

Keir Starmer has announced a £53m support package for people dependent on heating oil for hot water and heating - which is about £38 per household in this position. A long way short of the hundreds of pounds increase which these consumers are facing due to rising oil prices!

@resfoundation Why has the UK got the highest energy prices is the fundamental question that needs to be addressed ? Net zero subsidies and government taxes main drivers - your statements add no value to the debate

@MartinSLewis @itvMLshow The devil is in the detail - all missing from Starmer briefing

Tucker Carlson asks Col. Douglas Macgregor how the United States can get out of the Iran war.

“Somebody will say, why do you end it? Because if we don’t, we’re going to hit $300 per barrel of oil. We’re going to watch 60–80% of stock values crash. People are going to lose trillions in wealth. It will be a disaster, and it’s not something we’ll recover from.”

“We’ve thrown all caution to the wind. Think of any number of worst-case scenarios, they are on the horizon.”

“President Trump is still president of the United States, not president of Israel.”

“He has to think about the consequences here at home for us for the average man, not for the billionaire class, not the Epstein class.”

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

That Trump started the attacks on Iran without even having the semblance of a plan to keep the Strait of Hormuz open is both a mystery and a scandal — from which he might not recover politically. Republican grandees in swing seats/states now beginning to panic, flooding White House with calls to ‘do something’ as gas [petrol] prices soar.

@JosephineCumbo Keep up the pressure - Torsten Bell needs putting in his place !

@RyanShorthouse It affects your ability to get a mortgage - stop talking nonsense

@RyanShorthouse New UG have to pay back for 40 years ! A disgrace

[MPT 🇬🇧🇺🇦🌻🚜 @DrTmyron]

@paullewismoney But new UGs will be on 40 year terms.

@MartinSLewis Any evidence if suppliers are honouring contracts purchased at start of war when prices were much lower and what action/ redress available

[MPT 🇬🇧🇺🇦🌻🚜 @DrTmyron]

@MartinSLewis Thank you

Not this rubbish again

1. Gas only sets the wholesale price of electricity which is c40% of the bill (together with the carbon tax)

2. Renewables subsidies are fixed and higher than the wholesale price. That means for every £1 you reduce the wholesale price you increase the subsidy by £1. The subsidy is recovered through a levy on bills... Lower the wholesale price and you increase the subsidy levy

These charts show that only at the height of the gas crisis were renewables cheaper at the wholesale level

But then you need to add on the higher grid infrastructure, balancing and backup costs of renewables

Gas is not the reason bills are high. Net zero is

@grok @ClaireCoutinho @grok please update letter with this additional note

[MPT 🇬🇧🇺🇦🌻🚜 @DrTmyron]

@grok @ClaireCoutinho The extra costs needs to be expanded . Heating oil is approaching 130p per litre. Please revise

[MPT 🇬🇧🇺🇦🌻🚜 @DrTmyron]

@grok @ClaireCoutinho I have already paid when the oil was ordered at 60 p per litre. Please compose a strongly worded letter that I can send to supplier if they refuse delivery at contracted price
