Energy price cap forecast for April 2023 = £6,000 a year

[sherlock1969]

When does this madness end?

The latest forecasts say the price cap will be £6,000 a year next April. £500 a month.

Something has to happen because that’s not affordable for 90%+ of the population for household bills.

Business’s bills will be higher so we’ll have rapid wholesale business collapses.

What a horrifying situation and what do the Tories do? Have their compliant press release stories about how eating mouldy food is not bad for you, and telling us hunger pangs are nothing to be afraid of.

Disgusting.

That’s the whole idea - destroy small businesses, destroy the middle classes, leaving just upper and lower class

 

[h_m_boro]

Destroy small businesses, the big multi nationals will very kindly step in......

Doubt it will rise to £6k (I personally can't/won't pay that), possibly a scare story so when Liz and her new cabal are appointed and reduce it to £4000 the lickspittles and cap doffers will hail her as the new Messiah.

Whole thing is a bad joke isn't it?

The price cap predictions are just click bait now, it’s a fooking joke.

Why stop at £6,000 it’s just a made up figure. There is talk of freezing the price cap at what it is now and everybody is pleading g for that to happen, can we just remember the current price cap is nearly a 100% increase on what it was this time last year, we are being done no favours by freezing it, it needs reducing and quickly!!!

It'll be like buying a season ticket every month.

I'll wait and see what cornwall insights say as their predictions have been pretty accurate

 

[BlindBoyGrunt]

US Fracked gas will ride to the rescue.

 

[Glover_elbow]

Might as well go up further then something might be done

It won't be long until it's actually cheaper to burn paper money for heating than it is to turn the central heating on.

Still, we've got Liz Truss giving a couple of hundred thousand racist loons a chubby on by calling us all bone idle lazy peasants.

So it's swings and roundabouts really.

I envy the French. When are we going to see riots

 

[Funky_Chicken]

Only one thing left to do - We’re going to have to eat the rich

Doubt it. No bite in the majority of the populous, not a British thing to do.

The Government will have to pay a significant amount of it say (66%), just as they did with Covid. Weren't people on Furlong getting up to £25k a year and have much did the Track and Trace App cost?

Some of the £6k they can collect back in windfall taxes, which they could not with Covid expenditure.

Confidence Vote, Tory's out in a GE.. re-nationalised, then Water..

If the lazy British workers could put a proper shift in then they would be able to afford a 6k heating bill.

It was the unions in the 70’s and 80’s, the EU and the immigrants in the 90’s, 00’s and 10’s and now it’s the er, it’s the er…..workers, yes, it’s the workers to blame now.

If they moved about a bit more that would keep them warm. If they put their backs into scraping the mould off bread and veg then they will keep warm and have some food to eat. Problems solve themselves

The Para`s and Army riot-trained control units will be on overtime.
Not to worry - they`ve been on tap for over the last ten years. Ready and waiting:

There's a 'real possibility' that the British Army will need to help police keep public order if the UK leaves on a no-deal Brexit, leaked report says

The leaked report from the National Police Co-ordination Centre said that the lack of medical supplies could 'feed civil disorder,' and a smaller supply of goods could lead to 'widespread protest which could then escalate into disorder.' The document was obtained by The Sunday Times.

I wouldn’t fancy being a squaddie if our army turns on its own people

Don't worry. They'll use the police first. The police that is 20 000 short

It’ll just be shed loads of overtime
