The ordinary people of Britain are being absolutely robbed here.
We are all paying these sky high bills and paying it off on our (government issued) credit card.
The energy companies will be printing cash for the 18 months, we will pay for that over 20 years.
the Tories have managed to wait until almost the last possible second so that everyone will just be thankful for some help.
everything else will end up being washed over by the media and life will carry on.
Or am I too cynical
She’s not the one paying, it’s not her money. She’s borrowing money, on our behalf, to make sure the energy companies get their sickening profits….not keep them afloat, to break even, or to make OK profits, but to continue to let them enjoy windfalls. That money will have to be paid back by us, along with fees and interest. She’s helping the companies and the lenders, not the people. She’s costing us our own money to allow the profiteers to carry on regardless. Why should they be isolated against the effects of the financial crisis, and enjoy maximum profit, when everyone else is losing their jobs, their businesses, their homes, and some their lives? Please alway remember, the government’s funds are not theirs, it’s our money, and it’s up to us who they give it to, who it supports, and how it’s distributed. Nothing is coming out of Truss’s own pocket.
What a schizophrenic article.
Talks about governments becoming too used to using debt due to low interest rates while praising Truss who wants to fund all her plans (whether it’s on energy or tax cuts) by issuing more debt.
What is is his suggestion for how to generate this growth while not increasing debt?

We now have an inverse Robin Hood at the helm.
