There are people that you disagree with, some you may find unpleasant and then there are some who are just evil. He is one

If HM Treasury wanted to pursue a course of action that would make the UK an outlier from the G7, they should have had the foresight to coordinate with the BoE so the latter was able to factor that into it's plans.

IMHO inflation baskets need to be split out on what you need and what you want, and then you can get a real view of the cost of living. But that's not in the central banks interest.

• Woke lefty bond traders

• The commie Bank of England

• The fear of the chaos that would ensue under a Labour government, as opposed to a stable and economically competent Tory government

100%. It's very amateurish from the Treasury.

This is not true. It is an outright lie. £2,500 is the typical amount an average household will pay as a result of the cap, but if you use less or more then you will pay less or more.

How can something this basic still be getting misrepresented?

Maybe she's just thick?

An old thickie I spoke to recently complained that the energy cap wouldnt affect him as his bill would never reach £2500 anyway.
