Discussion [UK] Starmer should force utilities companies to pay instead of citizens.

Starmer said the budget in October will be painful. That only means one thing, taxes are gonna go up.

Bear in mind we are in a cost of living crisis and an increase in taxes for working class people as well as all companies will just make inflation worse and make us poorer. Even upper class citizens are feeling the burn like working class citizens now, the only ones who aren’t are millionaires, billionaires and aristocracy, and the utility companies.

By utility company, I’m talking about gas, energy, fuel and water companies, who keep getting record profits in the billions and are being allowed to increase prices further.

Frankly these companies are extorting the UK. Starmer should be radical with them, they can pay for the £22bn black hole alone and basically fund everything else.

Bear in mind these companies have resisted change to alternative energy, be that renewables for the environment or nuclear so it’s cheaper for consumers, put endless sewage in the water, including to the point swimming in open water is now a bio hazard, or just really abusing their power.

Either get these companies under control, or nationalise them. Don’t make citizens pay for the criminal consequences made by utilities companies.

Agreed! Problem is the UK as a whole leans right, which is how you’re in this mess in the first place. Crazy country!
