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 Image
SMEs, already facing insurmountable exponential energy costs, are also facing Consumer spending already falling off a cliff, 10% down Image
#EnoughIsEnough #EnergyCrisis
Lord Prem Sikka, Richard Murphy & David Blanchflower have written to the BoE urging £200 BILLION of spending to avoid meltdown, just as I suggested on the 10th March, also urging nationalisation of energy (which tories will never do) Image
#EnoughIsEnough #EnergyCrisis #Pubs #SMESupportHour it was clear to me on the 10th March that *uncapped* costs would rise between 400% & 1,100%, there simply is no excuse for govt ignoring such increases - they cannot claim "we could not have seen this coming" Image
#EnoughIsEnough #EnergyCrisis Biggest squeeze on living standards in a century, with a 20 year depression

tories will use this to crush workers

truss is determined to "shrink the state"

we need a #GeneralStrikeRevolution to rid ourselves of #ToryFascists Image
#EnoughIsEnough #EnergyCrisis on the 10th March I stated we were looking at "societal collapse" if govt didn't step in IMMEDIATELY - It's now Sept, and finally we're being warned that children WILL die this winter Image
#EnoughIsEnough #EnergyCrisis huge 5% drop in manufacturing to 47.3% #recession Image
families can't afford to HEAT OR EAT Image
#EnoughIsEnough #energytwitter remember we buy energy in dollars
£1 = ~$1.53 before 2016
£1 = ~$1.16 now
& no wonder @Lord_Sugar wants us back in offices! Image

carers & NHS staff impacted Image
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 Image
this is absolutely scathing:

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

I did a tour of the small business units on my estate this pm, & held a TRA

10 of 27 are closing next month as their bills have all increased by 400% to 700%

50 jobs lost

11 have contracts to next April, & the other 6 for 18 months

corner shop cafe closing too, 11 staff going
#EnoughlsEnough #energy #EnergyCrisis

is anyone else in my circle able to check with mixed use housing estates in their area, on how their small business units are doing please?

I *honestly* do feel as though I'm the only account here highlighting these issues

don't be fooled by #TuftonSt "think tanks" - it's all an effort to concentrate power & wealth in the hands of the 1% and there's real world evidence:

60% of working adults work in SMEs

52% of UK GDP is generated by SMEs: £2.3 trillion

70% of SMEs need to renegotiate energy contracts in October (according to Sky News research)

"tories will help low income households with packages announced, & a bit extra"

THREAD:
#EnoughlsEnough #energy
can absolutely no one else see the issue here?

60% of working people in the UK work for SMEs

70% of SMEs are about to see their energy costs go from

10p/kw

to

£1/kw

think of the complicated, intertwined supply chains for most SMEs, raw materials etc

#EnoughIsEnough #energybills
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
#EnoughIsEnough #energybills #EnergyCrisis
several quotes here from 300% increases to over 1,100%.... as I have been alerting everyone to, since the 10th March.

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!
