A few features of the #energy market that Gordon Brown (and his many fans here) don't seem to understand... 🙄
1. Energy suppliers are not the ones making big profits. None of his ideas - including #nationalisation - would reduce the prices they have to pay in global markets.

2. The Ofgem price cap is already based on an assessment of the ‘actual costs’ of supplying energy, including a small profit margin. As such, the cap already forces suppliers to ‘keep prices down’...
3. North Sea oil and gas profits are already taxed at a headline rate of 65%. Raising this even further - in an ad hoc way, and retrospectively - would send a terrible signal to all businesses thinking of investing in the UK.
#Nationalisation
La doctrine de l'exécutif se précise :
- socialisation des pertes
- (future) privatisation des profits
Pour le coup, c'est très #AncienMonde comme pratique : suppléer le marché et les acteurs privés pendant la crise, leur redonner la main le jour d'après.

Ainsi, il y avait en Bretagne, une usine qui pouvait fabriquer jusqu’à 200 millions de masques par an, et qui a été fermée en 2018 dans le silence le plus complet de l'exécutif.

You may have heard that the @UKLabour Labour Party plans to scrap the Married Couple's Tax Allowance if they get into power. Attack ads are being shared on Facebook by the Conservative Party arguing that people will be worse off because of this. Here are the facts:
Maximum tax allowance available through the Married Couple's Tax Allowance is £250 a year. BUT…

A thread on the #Labour Labour Party's #BroadbandForAll policy. There are three elements: 1; #zero price #freebroadband, (2) #Nationalisation and (3) #monopoly.
Zero Price. One argument for zero price is that there are positive externalities and network effects for bringing everybody to the same high level service. A second is And that leaving poorer citizens and lower margin business behind is less inclusive.
Clearly charging those who can afford would make it less costly to the taxpayer, and be less regressive, but it is messy. But surely over time that would emerge? And behavioural insights might help design 100% take up with mostly positive pricing.

The Minimum Wages Act is not the end of all wages-related laws. There are four other Central laws that oversee wages. These need legislative consolidation
