C4Ciaran Question. Doesn't she have her own parliament? Can't she do that for Scotland herself?

C4Ciaran Has NicolaSturgeon instructed her own party's MPs to raise a bill in Westminster to amend the Domestic Gas and Electricity (Tariff Cap) Act 2018 to enforce this?

C4Ciaran If the cap is froze, the oil retailers could not afford to buy it from the wholesalers. In reality its government making up the difference. or hold our nerve and hope wholesalers are forced to drop prices to sell their gas.

C4Ciaran Well to be fair, she's got to say that, because it's so f***ing cold in Scotland between October and April.

C4Ciaran please stop calling it a cap

C4Ciaran It's her job to ensure Scotland leaves the UK. Less of the colonial handwringing from the fool that tried to save England from Brexit. Not her job.

C4Ciaran Millions of French consumers are happy with French government buying EDF and limiting bill rises to 4%. UK government ie taxpayer should buy a UK energy producer instead of giving them billions of taxpayer subsidises. Investment not subsidies. trussliz RishiSunak
