Listening yesterday to businesses like chip shops saying that energy bills were going to drive them out of business really hit home.

Things are going to be bad for many individuals this winter but I’d not thought about business up to this point.

I think we need to scrap foreign aid immediately and slash wasteful spending and put huge amounts into subsidies for the truly needy and for businesses that are heavy consumers of energy.

Our priority is our own people and business, it’s time politicians understood this.

Said this for a long time Mick. Speaking to a small warehouse owner the other day who will shut up shop in January when his Xmas revenue is in as energy bills will be outrageous. A lot of businesses have not thought about huge energy increases but you wait once the bills hit or they come out of a fixed rate!

Boris said in Kiev this week the British will pay in high energy costs but Ukrainians will pay in blood. Not strictly true as people like him can easily afford the energy increases but the majority on low incomes can’t!!!

I hope the CEO’S of these energy companies can sleep at night with up to 10 times the profits of the previous year. To be honest I hope they permanently stay asleep!!!!!!
