@Buckettepe @Ronxyz00 @RpsAgainstTrump How have you made any judgement about my morals?
What are the morals of a Jack Ass?
Do you actually know what morals are?
@MichaelLee51@PeterStefanovi2@KemiBadenoch If you ever had any education that claimed to instill in you common decency, citizenship & good behaviour I am happy to speak on your behalf if you want to sue them.
Although I do have great sympathy for anyone who had to try & teach you anything, or just be in the same school.
@johnpcorr@MartinSLewis I run my car on sunlight.
How much do you pay for diesel?
Anyone using "Net Zero grift" is an uninformed, misinformed, gullible idiot.
A puppet and parrot of the fossil fuel industries.
Some saying re yet another predicted energy price rise "why aren't you calling out corporate greed? " Well because it's irrelevant. An energy firms job isn't to keep our prices low, it's to make money for their shareholders (we as a nation sold them off in privatisation)
As it stands its the regulator Ofgem and government who's job is to protect consumers from overly high prices. And that's where the issues lie.
The price cap isn't set by firms, they aren't increasing it, its set by the regulator. It's a turgid system (that was pushed on the regulator by a past govt) and it's allowed firms to price to the max of the cap without pushing them hard enough to offer cheaper deals.
I've long campaigned for change both in public, through official submissions and in private (so much so I ended up losing my rag and publically apologised for swearing in a meet with ofgem).
We need a social tariff!
I've long also called out excessive standing charges. Long said the market stabilisation charge (now thankfully gone) should end, as should, temporarily, the ban on acquisition only tariffs. I've said the ombudsman is too weak to enforce. I've said what makes up the price lacks transparency... the direct debit system is abused by firms to sit on too much cash... smart meter roll out is mistargeted and more.
Yet of course my prime aim is to help consumers navigate this.
The real excess profits aren't made by energy retailers (the regulated ones who supply us as consumers) but by the generators who aren't regulated by Ofgem (though in some cases horizontal integration means they're the same firm but they aren't legally allowed to cross subsidise).
Our wholesale pricing structure has rewarded them by paying the highest price (eg gas) even when it's a far cheaper source (though that's outside my expertise area, so I don't comment much on it)
The whole consumer energy market is mostly broken. We have a model based on competition but then 80% of homes are on regulated pricing, possibly the worst of both worlds.
The issues are with the regulator and politicians (and govts of all colours have faded on this) to put the structures in place to protect consumers. It needs a fundamental rethink. Sadly, I don't see that happening no matter who is in govt. I won't stop pushing for change though
@MichaelLee51@PeterStefanovi2@KemiBadenoch The EU is lifting up an entire continent.
We aren't in that.
What we are witnessing is the collapse of the sociopathic, unsustainable, capitalist system.
The world is divided into 2 groups.
Sociopathic nutjobs who think "More, Worse!"
Led by Americans
And rational adult humans.
@MichaelLee51@PeterStefanovi2@KemiBadenoch Little lesson.
You cannot make something so just by saying it.
Facts, Truth, these things matter, and they remain Facts and Truth whether you like it or not.
@CraigLipton4 @Ronxyz00 @RpsAgainstTrump When all you got is schadenfreude you are proving that you're up to your neck in it with no answers.
It's the illiterate burning down the library sneering at the dismay of the onlookers.
Except we're all IN the doomed library.
@Matthew82069336@Hugorelly Quite the opposite.
This age began with Brexit & a corrupt referendum.
As LOTO of a Remain Party Corbyn had a National Duty to rally opposition & fight for truth, justice & democracy.
He abdicated to Labour rebels, minority parties, & individuals.
Ever since any old lie will do.
@Matthew82069336@Hugorelly I am proud to state I believe that as LOTO Corbyn behaved like an incompetent dimwitted git, in my opinion he bears a terrible personal responsibility for Brexit & Johnson's GE win.
Furthermore, repeating a million variations of "why can't we all be nice to each other" is futile.
@footballforfans@Haggis_UK My goldfish knows more about Gilts than you!
I am not lying - I challenge you to name any lie.
I also challenge you to deny any one - or more - of the list of early labour achievements I sent.
You can't just post a load of crap and claim that it's the last word on the subject.
@footballforfans@ElfinBrown@Haggis_UK So your success criteria for Labour is that, in the face of worldwide economic difficulties, they reverse 14 years of Tory economic mismanagement and outright corruption *overnight*.
You're 'avin' a laugh!
