Or can anyone inform me why our PM, who is also ironically a proven liar, would say this about our energy bills?

Genuinely interested to hear
To present high gas prices as a consequence of Brexit and to in anyway believe remaining would have protected the UK is eyewash. No idea what the 'EU internal energy market' actually brings to the party (do you?) but I do know individual states all have their own fuel policies. I do know prices for the EU have risen by around 300% and they too have low stocks. France is less affected as they have a much larger proportion of their energy nuclear sourced.Good dea?

Still I am sure EU citizens will rest easy in their beds knowing that EU Energy Ministers are going to have a meeting.
