Robert Peston on ITV, asked about understanding our new reality post Russia invasion of Ukraine, just said, ‘We hope that what we are about to go through is not as horrific as what the people of Ukraine are going through. Although I guess we can’t be 100% certain about that.’

Is he for real, he’s talking about the increase in the price of wheat and petrol, compared to the death and destruction in Ukraine. What a dickhead.

Because all of Europe except the UK relies on Russian gas.

"Ah yes we'll send you weapons"
"But in return we'll knock your energy out of commission"

It's staggering how Europe let themselves become so reliant on Russian energy. The stuff going on now has been on the cards for a fair few years so really should have cut down on that reliance.

Madness thinking about it.

significant amount of uk electricity generated @gas fired power stations so not that easy

Actually the amount of leccy from renewables is around 37-40%

And it’s growing each year…….

This should cause the costs to be more immune to rises

Surely that's a spoof account?

Has the blue tick unless the tick is short for thick

Media scaremongering yet again. This is not to say large price rises aren't happening but its not comparable to a war zone, the Doyle.

Renewables will be less volatile than gas and oil given the geopolitics

Used to live in another country (not Russia) but a good mate there was russian. They are absolutely convinced Ukraine are bombing themselves. Have had to tell them I don't want to talk about it with them.
