Surely they should be encouraging them to keep the lights off in order to save power?

Brexit is going well:

U.K. going "bang" this week?

Will they default on their debts?

How much can the Bank of England pony up to save pensions and the £££ etc?

does this mean the BoE has to shell out more?

does this mean the BoE has to shell out more?

They have already shelled out £5 billion as far as I know.

They do not have many other realistic options to narrow the public sector deficit after their disastrous mini-budget, a complete reversal/u-turn but this is going to be very painful.

Nobody is backing Britain.

If there is a gas shortage in Britain this winter, there will be a shortage here too. The Corrib field supplies some 50% (or thereabouts) of our gas: the rest is imported via the 2 pipelines under the Irish Sea from Scotland. If there are gas shortages in the UK, it's guaranteed that we will have too - only probably worse.

EirGrid have repeatedly warned about power cuts. We can't blame the Brits for this: our stupid government here banned the exploration for gas around our coasts & the Green party blocked the building of an LNG import facility in Foynes. A few years ago, Sinn Féin bitterly opposed bringing gas ashore from the Corrib Basin - without which we would now be properly fooked.

Bord Gais (as it then was) had plans to use the defunct Kinsale field for gas storage. The government stopped this, so now we have no gas storage facilities whatsoever.

All our political parties are mugs. And the media here (TV & print) never ask the hard, relevant questions.

No long-term planning.

No energy security never mind defending our actual territorial waters.

Sinn Fein recently had a bill that would literally ban all wind turbines on inland areas as well as exporting their surplus energy. The hard left PBP etc are very vocal as well as some Greens. Parties against carbon tax that would fund energy upgrades for the poorest and most disadvantaged people.

We are dependent on the kindness of strangers as politicians object to everything for votes which plays right into the hands of unreliable murdering despots like Putin and Saudi Arabia etc.

That was on top of the £65 billion.

Truss will get savaged and will her own party even show up for her as she is toast, and they are so divided.
