Reply to: Not a wind fall tax

What Sunak has actually done is borrow £10BN, add it to your debt and give it to energy companies.

And he taxes that amount at new higher rate...

So, money is taken from energy giants along with £10BN of additional public borrowing and given to the public for them to give all of it back to........the energy giants.

No tulip, Sherlock! However, do you want old Widow Miggins to freeze next winter?

This is not even showing up a a "blip" on Shell or BP's share price which confirms my view that ultimately it's a tax that the consumer will be paying. They'll just simply wind back North sea oil production and sell at an even higher price.

Win!

Who are the undeserving?

I'm guessing you'll be handing your £400 back, or giving to a fuel poverty charity?

Second home owners, wealthy pensioners, oil company executives, landlords, you. This is worse than Rashford begging for free food for his tenants so he can whack the rents up.

I’ll be handing back thousands through inflation so I’m already suffering.

Anyone who isn't working e.g. those 50-70 year old men with degrees who have given up working.

I gave up working in my 30's, still get paid though!

Am I supposed to believe that handing out free money to the undeserving and focusing it on the richest sections of society is being done to help people and fight inflation?

But Labour are happy with the plans so it must be the right thing to do?

They told the government to do it because they like back bench Tory MPs are getting emails from constituents how they can't manage. Martin Lewis and similar were on the case as well.

Apparently if you have a second or third home (no not one you rent out to people) you get two or three lots of free money.

It’s a (Sue) Gray area. But plenty on here will still support and vote for them, no matter what.

Tribalism is weird.

If not, what are they really up to?
