Wholesale energy costs aren't the *sole* driver of higher energy bills.
For electricity, the largest source of upwards pressure comes from increasing costs of government policies and schemes funded through bills.

One thing that's striking about Ozzy Osborne's death is how difficult it is to imagine the music industry producing another figure like him. The barriers to working class people are so great, and there's a related attitude to culture that is neutered as a result.

🚨 MPs are debating the Product Regulation and Metrology Bill for the first time. Sounds dry? It’s not. This Bill will give considerable law-making powers to Ministers with little parliamentary oversight. Here’s why that matters… 🧵

Putting this more simply, Mark Zuckerberg is scheduled to be on the witness stand next month for seven hours and the DC Court's decision on the dispute below could open him up to questions of child harm on Instagram making his Senate hearing look easy.
Interesting pretrial dispute ahead of April FTC trial to break up Meta. Meta argues Instagram and WhatsApp benefited from Facebook ownership in terms of security, child safety and integrity. FTC argues (rightly imho) this opens the door to a wealth of evidence they didn't.🍿
