How to tackle the ‘Cost of Living Crisis’. Well the first obstacle is to remove the Tory Government because they are not equipped, ethically or ideologically, to deal effectively with the ‘Cost of Living Crisis’. In fact many of their policies have contributed to this situation. The legacy of Thatcherism is also a contributory factor. The current situation of having our Energy and other utilities in the private sector is a major factor contributing to the high levels of Inflation that we are seeing. These Energy Providers have just got increasingly greedy and any attempts to moderate this by Tory Government Policies has been ineffectual.
Category: The Cost of Living Crisis
These posts and articles look at ‘The Cost of Living Crisis’ in Britain. We look at who is responsible for the Cost of Living Crisis. We look at what can be done to tackle the Cost of Living Crisis and Inflation. We look at how difficult it is for the Tories to have an adequate strategy to deal with the ‘Cost of Living Crisis’ other than raising taxes and making everybody worse off in the process. We question the Bank of England’s strategy of raising interests rates to deal with Inflation given that it will only heap misery on families already struggling withbmortgage costs. We question whether the Bank of England inflationary measures actually work and whether or not they may actually be promoting a deep recession.
Third World Britain: a Tory accomplishment all done on their watch
During 12 years of Tory management they have finally managed to turn Britain into a Third World Country. This is Third World Britain. The Tories have turned Britain into a third world country: an all done on their watch. The Tories have turned Britain into a Country where: people could die of hypothermia in the coming winter months, where people cannot find rental accommodation, where students cannot find affordable rents or suitable digs, where people are unable to find homes to rent and cannot afford to mortgages to buy homes. Britain is a country where people can no longer get a dentist, see a doctor or get timely health care. More and more people are relying on food banks. People have to make choices between feeding their families and keeping pets. People are having to make tough choices about heating their homes or eating food. People are seeing their businesses going down. People are being laid off due to the uncertainty that businesses are becoming unprofitable due to overhead costs spiralling out of control. This is Third World Britain. Welcome to Third World Britain a spectacular Tory Party vision and accomplishment.

Britain, for goodness sake wake up and call for re-nationalisation of the utilities, we need new thinking to tackle problems
What’s wrong with British people? Why are British people so against re-nationalisation of our utilities: our infrastructure? In recent months we have seen how the Energy Providers are exploiting a situation to maximise their profits. We have seen that their actions have led to Inflation and Intertest Rate rises. The time has come to seek to re-nationalise the utilities and in particular the Energy Providers. How long can the British avoid nationalisation of the Energy Companies when it’s starring you in the face as the only solution to deal with Inflation and the ‘ Cost of Living Crisis’. A Tory government will not do this and without it there is not even a single glimmer of hope that a change in the leadership of the Tories will help at all.
Liz Truss was a false hope and a mere waste of time. Now she represents a source of embarrassment for the Tories. A misguided and a desperate attempt to reverse the fortune of the Tories. A government led by Liz Truss was a costly misadventure for the Tories and something they have failed to live down. Liz Truss was a costly mistake both for the Tories and the country as a whole. Through Liz Truss, the Tories have shown that they cannot be relied upon to do the right thing and nationalise the energy providers in the U for the good of the country. The misadventure of the Tories investing faith in Liz Truss’s government just goes to show how desperately ineffective Tory policies are. Obviously renationalising and public ownership in general are blind spot for all Tories and as long as it is then right thing to do will remain undone because the Tories still have belief in Thatcherite policies. But time after time we are now hearing about the failures of Thatcherism that haunt the British Economy and which continue to hold Britain back.
Re-nationalise the Energy Providers is the only option to deal with Inflation: the Tories are the only obstacle
It is evident that the only solution to deal with Inflation is to re-nationalise the Energy Providers in the UK: the only obstacle to be removed is the Tories. It is now in the national interest to re- nationalise these Energy Providers to deal with Inflation and to prevent the gross profiteering by these utilities which is against the national interests. Quite simply the current situation is intolerable and is the only factor driving inflation higher and higher. The Tories have lost any control and regulation of the utilities and Ofgen is defunct and unfit for purpose.

Competition is the way forward for the public ownership of Gas and Electricity in Britain
A sure fire way to get the utilities and railways back into public ownership and the less costly way of achieving this.
Yes I admire the ambition of the Labour Party Manifesto and it’s aim to get the Gas and Electricity utilities and railways back into public ownership. Success of this would lead to a more prosperous and fairer Britain and it would be the start of a new era for Britain. Yes it is high time to reverse the failed privatisations of Margaret Thatcher and John Major, and this would be a move which would put Britain on track again. However the scale and the cost of the task is dauntingly enormous and Thatcher knew how difficult it would be to ever go backwards. She tried to make her privatisations irreversible in an attempt to frustrate any attempts to ever develop socialism in Britain. She thought that she had had the final word but despite this there was a fundamental flaw in her plan and one which the Labour Party could exploit if it is savvy enough.
