last night the FT reported Truss will immediately invoke Article 16 causing a trade war whilst we have rampant inflation, are heading in to recession & at the moment 70% of businesses will fall off a cliff in October when they renegotiate energy bill
if govt doesn't step in immediately, the UK will have businesses failing faster & harder than they did in 2008
#EnoughIsEnough#energybills#EnergyCrisis
here's my thread from the 10th March stating businesses will fall off a cliff, nearly 6 months later STILL NO ACTION has been taken, this is INEXCUSABLE! If I knew it in March, then the govt sure as hell did!

70% of small businesses, so think of all childcare, most social care, schools, etc renew their contracts in October: this is catastrophic
Invoking article 16 next month will cause the UK to fall off a cliff, it will affect every single citizen of the UK.
these brextremist libertarian fascists in govt are criminally insane in their pursuit of a no deal #brexshit - all they care about is #DisasterCapitalism
Financial Times reported Liz's plans last night, it's their front page today!
& the reason the right wing press keep banging on about fracking, is because companies in free port areas want contracts, by not tackling the energy prices, tories will be able to push through licences, further damaging the climate & leaving us without water

whatever comes out of the ground will be sold on the open market for energy, (like a mini stock market), and will not help Brits - just increase fossil fuel company profits
household bills are still only able to go up each time by less than uncapped business costs
the actual price per KWh has gone up 700% as of today, so further incremental increases to household bills are set in stone already - just not at the same pace as for SMEs, schools etc
*"With the rising cost of Olney Butchers electricity bill - April 21 @ 12.88p/Kw to November 21 @30.953p/Kw, and a few days ago our supplier announced an increase in Sept 22 to 64.692p/Kw, which runs all our refrigeration"*.

to add insult to injury, Govt is going to hike our water bills to pay for cleaning up the mess made by water companies who awarded their executives multimillion-pound bonuses this year and paid out over £1bn to their shareholders: theguardian.com/environment/20…
let's recap:
£50 BILLION: Brexit Divorce Bill
£37 BILLION: Failed Test & Trace
£4.3 Billion fraud write off
£11 Billion Sunak lost not insuring loans against inflation
£8.7 Billion on useless PPE
£100s millions advertising BREXIT
100s of £Billions BREXIT will cost over time
remember they promised to cut VAT in order to gain Brexit votes, they won't even do that to help Brits:
@JuliaHB1 I know you ignore science, in order to drive your libertarian ideology, but this one chart really should show why caution for children is required, not a free for all for a level 3 biohazard! normal brain is on the left... scans of 7 kids brains >4 weeks after infection
this is a damning indictment if ever there was one!
the NHS Federation has written to govt to highlight an "impending humanitarian crisis" over winter in health of UK citizens #EnoughlsEnough#SocialistSunday
the NHS Federation states: "If people cannot afford to heat their homes & cannot afford nutritious food, their health will quickly deteriorate". I keep saying here, that people will die as a direct result of govt refusing to step in over the health & security of the nation.
please remember, small businesses, which form the bedrock of society & employ millions upon millions of UK citizens, cannot pass on anywhere between 300% and 1,100% increases in costs to customers, without losing custom & further exacerbating inflation = UNEMPLOYMENT
in 2015 the so called, dark money funded, think tank, the Tax Payers Alliance published their far right wish list for reducing the state and minimising taxes for the wealthy, this is a thread of *just* the contents!!
