The funniest thing about that is they think a first time buyer earning 30k a year can buy a terraced house in London

"When there is not enough to eat people starve to death. It is better to let half of the people die so that the other half can eat their fill."
Sounds eerily familiar.

To be fair there may be a second earner contributing (which still makes it very disingenuous), but it's still nothing like the reality for even people that do earn that.

Except with this lot it's "better to let 90% of the population starve or freeze to death so the remaining ten percent can buy a new yacht."

Fuck me! I've only just realised that Marvel (and by extension Disney) are Maoists at heart.
This is proper deep state stuff.
You've blown the whole conspiracy wide open Ian.
Just heard Robert Buckland suggesting that banks will be paying more tax as a result of changes made as a result of legislation 2021-2022.
There is a surcharge on profit's over £25M this surcharge is dropping from 8% to 3% over a £100M.
I'm confident this was on the assumption Corporation tax was due to increase conventional CT from 19% to 25% which of course is now not happening.
CT for banks will now be approx 22% instead of 28% .
Doesn't stack up for me?
Edit:- even Sunak's legislation was predicted to reduce the take from £1.6B to £500M.

I’m not sure - I was expecting a public company to buy energy from that would in theory trump the others with it’s cheaper energy costs.

Well it can’t buy energy cheaper
He’s pledged by 2030 we will be a net exporter hadn’t he?

Seems like an open goal missed. Unless he's hoping nobody pays any attention to the details and just goes with the headlines from his speech.

It was hardly going to start competing against 6 established energy suppliers was it

I was expecting a company that owns the renewable generation in this country and ideally sells it locally.

Why?

Setting up an independent supplier of energy from scratch? How’s that going to actually work unless you monopolise an established supply route and sell at substantially below the purchasing price - which means you are borrowing to fund the gap or regaining shortfalls through tax
By the time it’s set up 2030 will be here. It’s aim I would assume is to create a renewable policy in the country. Hasn’t he pledged to remove all fossil fuel driven electricity by 2030 anyway?

Why would they be buying energy? The point is it’s a vehicle for the required renewables investment required over the next few decades.
Grendel

My impression is the big 6 will continue supplying current energy and this company will encourage British private enterprise investment in renewable energies and facilitate that strategy so by 2030 it can supply clean energy across the uk from private uk companies

Ians quote suggests otherwise doesn’t it?

That’s why I’m asking. Reading the NS piece, which you assume was briefed, it sounds like it’ll invest in renewable generation, but I don’t see how that doesn’t make it a supplier. Is it just a green bank?
Would be good to get more detail, I’m sure once things calm down with the government the media will start picking it apart.

The most impressive one is more people see the tories divided than labour!

This really needs to make it into main stream news. Everyone needs to hear about this.
If it does it'll be the end of KK. And the end of the Tory party for a good while.
Imagine actually voting for these cunts.

There needs to be an election, they’ve had more than enough chances and pick somebody worse each time. The whole electorate needs a say now.
