#EnoughIsEnough #EnergyCrisis
Zahawi is "deeply concerned"
Truss "no new taxes, or rationing"

cutting the NICs & no new windfall taxes, ultimately means the biggest shrinking of the state we have ever seen

think of the direct impact on Social Care & NHS

SMEs, already facing insurmountable exponential energy costs, are also facing Consumer spending already falling off a cliff, 10% down

truss is determined to "shrink the state"

£1 = ~$1.53 before 2016
£1 = ~$1.16 now
& no wonder @Lord_Sugar wants us back in offices!

Fuel Poverty, Cold Homes and Health Inequalities

evidence (if ever you needed it)

#EnoughIsEnough #BrexshitBonus & Truss wants to invoke article 16 before October, (see thread above) during a recession & #ToryCostOfLivingCrisis #ToryCostOfGreedCrisis when our exports are already the worst!

#EnoughIsEnough #EnergyPrices #energy #Energycrisis: UK households worst hit in western Europe, finds IMF Heavy reliance on gas is behind price surge, with the impact on poorest households also the worst in Europe

no money to feed children now this:

posted without comment:

& for posterity & a bit of light relief:

carers & NHS staff impacted

as I said on 10th March, but was told I was catastrophising, this graph clearly demonstrates to impact of #energybills upon the majority of UK households. #EnoughIsEnough #GeneralStrike NOW to bring about a #GeneralElectionNow to rid us of these #ToryFascists

this is absolutely scathing:

Nuclear is not an immediate help (not that I even support nuclear)

you can't even rely on nuclear if there's a drought!

#EnoughIsEnough #TorySewageParty #ToryScumOut faced with people dying from cold & starvation as in thread above, this was the PM's response:
