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: How to tackle the cost of Living Crisis
Britain faces a ‘Cost of Living Crisis’ previously unwitnessed in Living memory. The cost of fuel and energy is driving Inflation. Greedy Energy Providers are the main cause of higher and higher levels of Inflation. This ‘Cost of Living Crisis’ cannot be adequately tackled by the Tories Economic Policies. The the only way it can be tackled is by taking the Energy Providers in the UK back into public ownership by re-nationalisation. Taking the Energy Providers back into Public ownership or putting them out of business by introducing a Government Owned Energy Provider into the market competition are the only way in which we can tackle this ‘ Cost of Living Crisis’. The Tories cannot bring themselves to do this so are powerless and weak. The Tories cannot find or agree upon any other strategy other than those which lead to higher Interest Rates and subsequent ckntraction of our economy bordering on recession and Austerity Measures. Only a government with an agenda for proper economic change can do whst is needed and tackle the source of Britain’s Inflation being driven by our privately owned Energy Provision. Only a government prepared to take on the Energy Providers in the UK has the power to deal with this ‘Cost of Living Crisis’.
I present here a series of posts dealing with how to tackle the Cost of Living Crisis.
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.
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.
