I'm not stating anything either way. Although in only a couple of days she has got rid of:
The energy crisis

The drought

Priti Patel

Nadine Dorries

The Queen

So off to an impactful start.

There is going to be a task force (or whatever they call it) that will take 3 months while businesses continue to shut down or go bust.

Haven't listened or read the spin yet, but presumably the £400 rebate is still live, so closer to £2,100 for the next year, but £2,500 thereafter. Did the other rebates survive too? In that case, much less than £2,100 for the next year for some subset of people.

THe £650 (extra?) for low-income is still in effect but again a one-time thing.

Businesses are to be offered similar help as residential but done differently.
