The richest 150 people in the UK get £120,000,000 richer every single day, and that's not share value.

It's not because of immigrants, trans people, DEI, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP.
It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

Having Energy sold at cost would save the UK £1,000 per household and be a massive boon to the economy.
Instead you pay £30bn extra which goes almost entirely to people who don't live, pay tax or spend money in the UK.
