‘Ed Miliband has abandoned plans to charge southern electricity users more than those in Scotland, after senior officials warned it could put off investors and make it more difficult to build renewables.’
Read ‘put off investors’ as ‘would protect Scots from rip-off energy prices and reduce shareholder profits’.
We are the energy engine of the UK: oil, gas, wind, hydro + pumped hydro, tidal – so what benefit do Scots gain from it?
Yeah that was always going to be the case, they said themselves they won’t do anything that might increase prices in the south east, fuck the rest of the country
Milk and, the most expensive waste of space in the is countries disaster out leadership. We should just park him in an office a drop off a million quid in his lap every 17.5 minutes and it’d be cheaper
Surprising nobody.
They’re cheering the price cap is coming down about 7% this month, but that only reverses April’s rise.
Reality is, this July energy bills will be about 10% higher than at the same time last year.
It’s awesome living in a colony. Imagine being able to choose how your own resources are used in order to help the population?
We’ve tried nothing and we are already out of ideas
It’s nice to get confirmation of my biases against the establishment and their spineless defenders on occasion even if it is infuriating.
Yay better together!!!
Union dividend
Zonal pricing is something even the Scottish Government were against, because it would mean lower revenue for generators in Scotland, thereby incentivising them to make their investments (and all the jobs and infrastructure that come with that) down south.
Shock horror…was anyone really surprised by this? He’s just another lying bastard. He lied in 2014, he lied in 2024. Nothing has changed with this gimp
What a shock, we subside the standing charge for the UK again. Wow, this was a joke of an open secret when I worked in the energy sector ten plus years ago and it’s just getting more comical. It’s like when politicians platform against big oil to get elected and then suddenly they can’t follow through cause ‘its complicated ‘ just as the oil cheque clears in their bank
Zonal pricing may or may not work or be a good thing – but fucks sake!
Labour seem to be actively trying to piss people off by allowing this story to develop first and then abandoning it.
Oh yeah there was me really thinking the English gov would make electricity cheap for Scots as well, what a fool I was
Like they were ever going to allow that. And we tolerate this. More fool us.
Of course he did.
Scotland will be switching back to the SNP regardless of any course corrections labour makes.
This government has consistently shown that they will punish groups who don’t vote for them.
Please read the article lads. It makes perfect sense not to have regional pricing.
