Every supermarket is the same, I couldnt get into Sainsburys last night because the queues were a mile in every direction. This morning it was difficult but possible to get in but there was no diesel. So loving dumb.

Starmers next plan is the increase the number of MP's required to nominate someone to the leader shortlist to 25%. This would have meant in practice there can only ever be 2 nominations, and in the last election Starmer runs unopposed.

Apparently the Asda petrol station near us had small queues but nothing too impactful. Different story for the Shell garage just outside Bradford centre though, traffic was queueing all the way back onto the road so literally everyone using that road was stuck in the queue even if they didn’t want any petrol, took 20 minutes to travel 0.1 miles past it

The idea that customers of the failed energy suppliers should be punished is ridiculous. Avro Energy is the biggest energy supplier to ever go bust in this country, it was about 5% of the market, and it had good customer feedback (which is the only metric that customers have access to other than price). No amount of due diligence would helped, and it's basically just a lottery as to who is next, outside of the top 6 firms. If Avro was a high-risk company then that implies that 80% of the tariffs on the market are even worse.

https://twitter.com/thetimes/status/1441305343816990720?s=19 yeah the people responsible are the ones running the companies, the people in charge of regulating them, and anyone involved in the continued privatisation of public utilities nice to see Nandy in the FT saying that she doesn't support nationalising things but prefers a series of co-ops or some poo poo, because this episode has demonstrated so well why we need a bunch of intermediaries who don't generate or deliver energy

When I was in primary school a kid told me he'd been on holiday in Devon which I misheard as heaven. I was very confused. Especially when he went on for a bit about how there were massive Sharks everywhere in heaven.

XMNN posted:yeah the people responsible are the ones running the companies, the people in charge of regulating them, and anyone involved in the continued privatisation of public utilities It really can’t be overstated how much the regulator deserves to be strung up. I found a consultation process doc from 2019 where a bunch of energy companies told OFGEM that’s it’s insane there are no minimum capital requirements for energy companies, given the arrangement that the losses from any failure are mutualised across the industry. OFGEM’s response was setting a capital requirement is outside their expertise and it’s not their job to assess ‘business viability’ (their quote marks), it’s the job of private investors to judge if an energy company is sustainable. Plus if they set financial viability requirements like that it would discourage new entrants to the market. I’m imagining putting statements like that in front of someone from the FCA and watching their brain explode.

I needed to get fuel today as the light was on. Thankfully things were not too bad here. There were about 4 cars queuing for the shell station and probably 10 or so for the Asda a little bit up the road, so all in all not too long of a wait. I can still see things running out though. Of course I now wonder if having an electric car would have been more useful, considering that with the recent energy issues, what the cost of charging would have gone up to.

Boris wanted to be Winston Churchill, he ended up being a poorly manufactured Kermit the Frog.  Labour needs.... i don't know what the gently caress Labour needs, but i don't think Starmer is the answer. I think my main hope of Irish reunification is to never again having to listen to British *political views on anything at all.. ever.   *edit to clarify.
