This is how it works
You deliberately make people panic with £6k fuel bills
Do nothing for 90 day
Limit bills to £2.5k
= surge in opinion polls
Steal £200bn of public money, give to power companies to subsidise bills coming down
The public to pay back + interest= #TrussTax
£200bn from the telegraph
"Liz Truss sails into uncharted waters – without Bank of England support
Borrowing will balloon under new PM's plan to foot £200bn energy bill"
telegraph.co.uk/business/2022/…
The correct solution is a #windfalltax on the energy companies excess profits
I'll explain the #TrussTax
The Tories want the prices as high as possible
They will use taxpayer money to sub the energy companies to bring your bill down
But the bills go higher
So even more of your tax can be siphoned off to the energy companies
Instead of a #windfalltax
Greatest transfer of wealth in history
Stealing money from poor & middle class
Giving it to the mega-rich
They want you to pay it back with interest
Figures keep going up
It was £100bn
Then £130bn
Then £200bn
£250bn being suggested
No to #TrussTax
Yes to #windfalltax
You are now realising this is totally unsustainable cash & grab robbery by @trussliz
Your right
This will bankrupt the UK, the money will be in offshore banks where it can not be gotten back easily.
We need massive public outrage demanding
No to #TrussTax
Yes to #windfalltax
FYI
@trussliz is a former Shell economist
Wife of a former BP exec donated £100K to her leadership campaign, £100k
The energy companies have donated over £1.5m to the Tory party
A cheap price to be gifted £250bn public money
Your money!
No to #TrussTax
Yes to #windfalltax
