Circus Labour bollocking everyone except the guilty

Given tough talking “Brown the Clown’s” record on standing up to anyone bar the hapless tax payer, somehow I don’t think this lot will be shitting themselves too much!

Interestingly enough no mention of the energy source that impacts all of us most Petrol & Diesel prices.

But then it is the govt who is responsible for the crippling price of this energy, NOT the suppliers, A point the head wog from Saudi pointed out the other day and which “Brown the Clown” chose to ignore “WANKER”

The bosses of the UK's six biggest energy firms are facing a grilling from MPs amid growing public anger over rising bills.

The Business and Enterprise Select Committee will probe the chief executives of British Gas, EDF, npower, E.ON, Scottish Power, and Scottish & Southern Energy.

The average dual fuel customer is now paying nearly 15a% more - £1,048 - for gas and electricity after the latest round of increases.

This is nearly double five years ago - and the fear is bills could go up by another 40% later this year as firms tackle rising costs.

This would add a potential £400 to increasingly strained household budgets.

The chiefs of the "big six" are expected to argue the doubling of wholesale gas prices for the coming winter give them little option.

In Europe, wholesale gas costs are linked to oil prices, which have surged to near $140 a barrel.

Customers have also been hit by the cost of industry's efforts to tackle climate change.

The MPs launched their inquiry into the market in May after complaints energy firms were colluding on prices and over charging customers.
