    Some of the things will be met due to people who can moving abroad. I mean there are now more job vacancies...... Just in the areas of work, working times and geographical locations British people can't do them....

    “We believe working people will be better off if we leave the EU. The NHS will be stronger, class sizes smaller and taxes lower. We’ll have more money to spend on our priorities, wages will be higher and fuel bills will be lower. Leaving the EU is a great opportunity for us to take back control of our borders, our economy and our democracy.”

    Um no.

    Gas prices are identical across Europe and the UK
    UK electricity prices are higher but that's because 3GW of interconnect cables that keeps things in sync are currently broken (well 1 is broken, 1 is delayed).

    As for the fertiliser plants - a lot of that is internal politics, the plants until March got subsidised gas and that subsidy went. The plants want it back and will probably get it as we need the CO2 byproduct...
