Soldato
We get shafted for everything in this country.
Best explanation I've seen of how the UK end consumer is getting screwed energy cost wise. Runs rather contrary to what Ed Miliband and Jonathan Brearley of OFGEM have been putting out there. (09:39-13:25)
(Do excuse the pounds not pence error at the beginning)
Price is now about 87p/therm, compared with 62p/therm when this video was made six months ago (the same as it was in 2019).
Still very different from the Ed Miliband statement that the wholesale price for gas is 3x as much as it was prior to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
It seems he cherry picked a number that sounds believable from some time during the Corona lockdowns.

The fact the market for gas started going wild many months before Russia's invasion of Ukraine in Feb 2022 is another topic, but makes Mr Miliband even more wrong.
Greg (head of Octopus) is also quoting 3x so there must be something in it.
