Can you translate that into layman's terms?

edit: the tweet you quoted, not the RIP

"more targeted assistance" means "much, much less assistance". "reevaluate tax measures" probably means recessive taxation. things are going very well when the imf starts asking for these things.

She was one of the leftish lot that got totally ratfucked by the guardians 1 Owen Jones quota for paid staff, I think she just really believes we can use the Labour party for something

She was also so devastated on novaras 2019 election stream I felt genuinely uncomfortable trying to watch

light is extremely marginal now that everything is LEDs, yeah, unless they have some ancient system installed. computers are also honestly pretty marginal, even high end ones tend to be 600-800w at max with a bit more for the monitor, router etc.

it's the heat that gets ya. directly, for cooking or for washing.

how much are people's utility bills going up in practice?

it doesn't seem to have affected friends in London - just had a drink with an ex-classmate visiting on vacation and his main complaint is the pound depreciating

due to the combined interventions (400 a head regardless then a per watt price cap) mine will go down until after this winter. but food is costing so much more due to nothing in place to support the businesses.

going off the windows the uk uses, i would expect it to be some ancient system, though yeah, the energy used for business-specific poo poo (cooking/baking/washing/production in general) is likely to be a far more significant chunk and also far more expensive if not impossible to cut down on. i would also mention energy requirements for ventilation and cooling, which you generally can't just shut off either, especially in a venue with many visitors.
