Help with the cost-of-living crisis

It'll be interesting to see if they are planning an emergency budget and he is trying to play it down.


Michael Gove channelled his inner Liverpudlian on Wednesday morning as he put on different accents to impersonate the Treasury and political pundits.
The Levelling Up Secretary shouted the words “calm down!” in a Scouse accent after adopting an American twang as he said “an emergency budget”, “major capital letters”, and “a big news story”.
Mr Gove appeared on BBC Breakfast to rule out an emergency Budget after Boris Johnson suggested Rishi Sunak would be “saying more” about help with the cost-of-living crisis in the coming days.

This wasn’t the only cringe-worthy interview gave today! Here’s Mr Gove defending why this Government won’t put a Windfall Tax on Oil Companies.

Enjoy!
:hat:

Which bit of "We can afford to pay the windfall tax and still invest" did he not get.

That interview did him no favours.

There are a number of essential utilities which should never be privately owned: electicity, gas and water being three of them. They should be under public ownership and run by the state on behalf of the people. You can be sure that the shareholders in these privatised sectors won't suffer at all from current events, in fact they'll do even better than otherwise. Public ownership and regulation would be the most effective way to start mitigating the cost of living crisis.
Of course it's not going to happen because, at the end of the day, the poor are worthless (almost by definition) and beneath contempt. The higher we can get prices to rise, for meat, bread, veg, gas, petrol and lecky, the more money we can raise to line cronies' pockets. As for inflation, it's nothing to worry about. Get over it.
There. Tell me why I'm wrong.
