Gas price is the lowest for nearly a year, but our bills are up.
Ofgem just hiked cap from £3549 to £4279 i.e. Govt will on average pay £1779 (£4279 less £2500) per household to energy companies.
Rip-off profiteering.
Ofgem isn't protecting customers.

Listening on R4 to horrific stories of long wait times in the NHS, people with ruptured appendices sleeping in cars as there’s nowhere else, 30hr corridor waits, no ambulances at all for 2 heart attack victims.

Where THE FUCK is the government on this? This is terrifying!

I wanted to summarize what is known about the new XBB.1.5 variant of SARS-CoV-2, which is starting to generate a lot of interest.

(There are no new scientific results in this thread, it simply aggregates previously reported results for those not following topic closely.)

Imagine arriving breathless to A&E via a GP’s car due to their fear that waiting for an overrun ambulance service may cost your life & there’s no cubicle or portable oxygen? And imagine the helplessness the A&E dr feels..

I really do not want to dampen your spirits today but I heard on Radio 4 that as many parents cannot afford to keep their children they may have to go into care and that children have been seen raiding rubbish bins for food. We MUST take collective action in order to stop this!

8. UK tax on North Sea fossil fuels is tiny compared to countries like Norway, removing the incentive to re-invest. We need very high taxes, with tax rebates for investment in renewables only (not more fossil fuels) - forcing FF companies to transition.
