Right. However, I don't think anyone (currently, in the UK context) is talking about a price cap without a funding source. It will be funded either by: 1) the taxpayer; or 2) the billpayer (over a protracted period) with the immediate source probably coming from gov't backed loans. They cannot simply freeze the wholesale price of gas (the "nuclear option") without funding it. But one upside of freezing the wholesale price of gas is that there would be no need for a broader windfall tax on electricity generators. Ultimately, though, someone needs to pay for it (taxpayer, billpayer or generators or some combination of these) and, separately, we need to reduce demand.Comment

It's a poison chalice job nowadays. You get in and just pray to god there isn't going to be some international or global incident. A war, pandemic whatever. No PM has ever managed a extraordinary event like this and come out smelling of roses. It's not like gov is trained in things like this so they'll thrash about, do the best they can which won't please a good vocal majority whatever they do and down they fall. Hard to say who is a good/bad PM because they are having to deal with unprecedented times where there is no right answer. Why someone actually wants to do that job is beyond me."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
