@andyburnham@wesstreeting Are you taking the piss? You’re charging 86p in tax on every litre of diesel, that’s about £50 every time I fill up! You’re clearly not cut out to be Prime Minister. Resign.
Mr. Burnham, you're actually being completely dishonest in blaming privatization for the UK's high energy costs.
The nationalized energy companies were run extremely inefficiently before they were privatized in 1989. Privatization liberated them and enabled huge quantities of new investment. Over the period 1989/90 to 1994/95 the reduction in electricity prices in real terms was 10.0% for residential customers, 11.3 % for small industrial customers, 17.0% for medium industrial customers, 16.5 % for moderately large industrial customers, and 6.7% for extra large industrial customers.
Privatization revealed how grossly inefficient the state electricity companies actually were. Post-privatization reductions in staffing levels were achieved of more than 50% in the case of the generators and over 25% in the case of the distribution companies.
The efficiency improvements enabled huge increases in investment in new power plant and other fixed assets, including new facilities to reduce the environmental impact of emissions.
Of course you want to revert to incompetent union-controlled state ownership, ignoring the real reasons for high energy costs which can be found in your own government's energy policy. But please stop lying.
So Kate thinks because Suella is brown she must love illegal immigrants coming here. I find that racist. To assume she must embrace criminality of others of a similar colour because of her colour.

The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon.
The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.
Walking down the average UK high street now is one of the most blackpilling experiences imaginable. Barely any local businesses left, just endless vape shops, tacky nail salons, dodgy phone retailers and the obligatory Turkish barbers, most of which never see a single customer and barely even bother to maintain the pretence of being legit anymore.
A palpable atmosphere of quiet despair and resignation amongst the trickle of shoppers wandering aimlessly around. Its like living in a country that just lost a war without firing a single shot. Never seen anything like it in my lifetime.
I honestly thought this was a joke.
Labour turf out one Prime Minister for another.
He spends two weeks making TikToks and talking about buses.
He does nothing to fix the economy or secure the border.
He buggers off on holiday?! After two weeks?!
Joke leader. Joke party.
Sad news from Italy as Franco Baresi has passed away this morning at 66 years old.
An absolute legend of the game with AC Milan and Italy, marking an era for different generations.
Thoughts and prayers with the family and the friends.
Rest in peace, Franco. ❤️🕊️
To be fair, if Vinicius Jr to Arsenal actually did happen it would surely be the most on brand transfer in the history of football.
The most insufferable player in the world joining the most insufferable club in the world.
