@blue_jay31 Do you mean 'accepts'?.

On Channel 4 (the channel Dorries wants to flog off, remember), an expert was talking about how most of our gas comes from our own shores, The North Sea, and though it's subject to world pricing, we don't have to go along with that. The government could unilaterally reduce or cap the price of our supplies, but will they even think about doing that? I doubt it. The other piece of information I came across was that the energy companies the government met with over the last few days are the retailers (the ones that are barely surviving) and not the wholesalers (the ones that are raking in the massive profits). Not very useful, and it didn't produce any new announcements about help. In politics, where there's a will, there's a way, but I detect no will in this government to really get to grips with the issue in a way that will stave off the massive pressure on people's finances that's to come.

Because the government does not really want to payout any more to people if they can possibly avoid it. It doesn't fit with their ideology of small government and leaving individuals to stand or fall on their own feet. They might have to do something in order to try and get elected again but for the moment the leadership contenders are trying to impress Tory MPs and 160,000 Tory party members who don't believe in handouts or support. As for Boris he's off on holiday saying it's nothing to do with him, but he's basically in support of the no payout line.
