It's the pro EU/Europe group.

Looks like some of them aren't convinced ignoring the biggest trading block isn't very.

What have we done wrong for the past years, & how can we best put it all right.??

[D41]

MP retirement plans, or their pay, or something else in a similar vein.

???

Now call me simple, but this makes no sense whatsoever.

If the big companies are accepting that their profit is artificially high then why not just drop the prices to correct it themselves?

If shell for example were to reduce their pump price for petrol they would surely see an initial benefit as people will buy from the cheapest. Then others would have to follow suit leading for overall prices to readjust without having to involve the government.

A windfall tax does nothing to reduce the root problem that the product unit price is artificially high

How does oil company stock prices factor into all this, if at all.. does it have any bearing??

[Kwacky]

Generally higher profits means a higher share price

[D41]

Well no kidding!!
That part I could figure out....I had something else in mind there but nevermind, I've lost my train of thought now.

I see the Opec companies are now saying they will reduce production to push oil prices back up.

I hope people refuse to buy it.

I've been holding off ordering my heating oil, in the faint hope that prices may continue to drop..

Lowering the UK’s outlook to negative, from stable, could be the first step towards a full-blown downgrade by Fitch.

Britain is in deep deep shit. The Tories have finally been found out and lost the confidence of the markets.

Truss omg ,what an incompetent robot

[Kwacky]

That new anti protest bill

[duke63]

That new anti protest bill

They might have a problem with that as pretty much everyone outside the cabinet wants to protest at this Government.

[StMarks]

Whilst it can be perceived as appearing sinister, isn't it actually aimed at addressing the issue of "rent-a-mob", rather than worthy protesters.?

[Kwacky]

It's not aimed at any group.

This'll be applied to football fans, anti hunt protestors, anti fracking protestors and anyone else the government doesn't like.

But look at the potential punishments and restrictions for people who haven't even been convicted of a crime.

[D6Nutz]

They are using the current groups to sell the concept, yet when it's worded it is suitably generic to be applied to any group.

It's exactly the same as the law change brought in during COVID to stop people gathering in groups to protest. It was sold as a"COVID law"but the wording never mentioned COVID.

We are sleep walking into a country where only the richest have freedoms, the rest will be told to just shut up and pay for them to enjoy it.. sound like any other political regime you know of?
