Truss is as dumb as they come. She really does not have the slightest idea of what is about to hit her if she becomes PM. She will be totally in the grip of the Tory Right, and will ideologically ruin the country.

Truss...really does not have the slightest idea of what is about to hit her if she becomes PM.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Agree with this.

May and Johnson have each had phases that were harder almost certainly than any prior PM has had to endure. But - perhaps the period when Bercow and the Supreme Court has put the government in a total headlock - none of it is going to be what Truss is going to go through. I'm not a fan of some of her policies and approach, but she strikes me as being a pleasant person and on a personal level I'm already feeling a bit sorry for her.

Truss will crash and burn.

The smart kids in the Tory Party will be conspiring about her replacement already.

It's one thing to feel sorry for someone who votes tory, but their actual (likely) leader? Christ.

To be Tory leader, you don't just have to prove that you are currently a horrific person, you need to prove that you have a long history of being a diabolical person and can convince everyone that you will be a horrendous person for years to come and that you can convince bad people to vote for you.

HTF can you feel sorry for someone that keeps reeling off the same nonsense about tax cuts, meaning she will save nearly £2,000 and Pensioners will get back about £50.

I think she's just oblivious and ignorant tbh. Doesn't mean she's unpleasant as such.

Anyway, it'll be great for sales.

He's about as left wing a Conservative MP as you'll find. He's also as thick as pig shti, but I wouldn't agree that that merits a place in hell.

alot of people are sleep walking into this
just like most of the brit population did at the start of 2020 with covid

don't think it's going to really hit home how bad this is until the new tariffs come in, in a couple of months and the colder weather returns

The whole thing is total madness. There are 1000s of young men being killed, plus half the world is going into recession or worse, and a real risk of escalation to world war, because an actor who got elected to be president of Ukraine refused to agree to Ukraine not joining NATO.

Well after todays announcement from the Bank of England , there is something very very very wrong in the system...

So... let me get this straight:

* British Gas made a profit of £1.3bn between January & June
* BP announced profits of £6.95 billion between April and June alone
* Shell has profited by £9.4bn in a year

The MEN at the top:
* John Pettigrew, boss of National Grid received £6.5m bonus on top of his salary
* Chris O’Shea, chief executive of British Gas owner Centrica was paid almost £2m last year in salary and benefits
* Centrica's non-executive directors were paid almost £1m
* Scottish Power's CEO Keith Anderson is on £1.15m.
* E.On boss Michael Lewis is on £1m
* EDF's Simone Rossi is also on £1m
* And their top execs enjoyed a share of £4.65m
* Peter Simpson of Anglian Water earned a £1.3m pay package
* Welsh Water bosses awarded themselves bonuses of over £930,000
* Severn Trent bosses awarded themselves bonuses of £5.56m

* Thames Water's Sarah Bentley, received a £727,000 bonus on top of her £2m annual salary

Meanwhile there are...

* People who haven't had breakfast and/or lunch TODAY, because they can't afford it.
* People using FoodBanks because food is becoming more of a luxury than a necessity.
* Children celebrating a birthday without presents.
* Parents worrying about new school uniforms - and some schools enforcing rules which are not cost-effective.
* People who can't get to work because they can't afford to put petrol in their cars/pay for public transport anymore.
* People who are working so much they're making themselves ill, and they STILL CAN'T AFFORD to pay their bills.
* People who have been given fines by these same energy/water companies because they couldn't afford to pay their bills in the first place - increasing their debt.
* Customers being told to do STAR JUMPS TO KEEP WARM for crying out loud!
* Hose pipe bans when gallons of water leak away everyday.
* Elderly people NOT DRINKING because they're worried about running out of water!!!

All this and energy prices are set to rise up to 75% in October...

THIS IS MADNESS!.. I'm all for supporting profits ..I'm not for supporting greed at the cost of lives of others..

Something needs to change..

Why are customers' money being used to make life more comfortable for those who are making life more intolerable for the rest of us?
I actually don't understand how the energy companies are allowed to get away with this and why the government aren't stopping them instead of handing out money.....

Keep this going around for all to see
