Default Nationalise - Temporarily UK based Energy Firms

Gordon Brown
has made this suggestion.


Now, many are not even owned by UK.
But as they are, the British division
as a temporary measure, it is fine to do.



Absent Labour Leader Keir Starmer
he is on Holiday
that is why Brown is on about it.

Id tell them to either hand the company over to the government or be told they will no longer be allowed to sell in the UK which would then leave it easier to set up new nationalised companies with the ground work already there

He's been proved right already. Again. France public ownership capped energy rises at 4%, so we'd already be loads better off and have more cash in our pockets. The only reason labour aren't interested in going full on with this is because it's Corbyns policy.

Polling will show how popular public ownership is, and Starmer will suddenly pretend he always supported it in a few months time.

the simple solution is to freeze the price cap until prices stabilise. The energy companies have the profits to deal with that. Bots for PM

Read what I said. Public ownership was corbyns policy, and that's the only reason that labour have half-assed this pretending that it will be temporary, because anything too left wing won't please Starmers new owners - Dacre, the Barclays, and Murdoch.

Temporary Ownership measure,
it is fine to do in the UK.


It would save us all.

You are spot on in my view there.

The nationalisation policy was really popular and it was wrong of Starmer to distance from it.

A lot of the providers don't though which is why so many have gone bust

There must be something the government can do earlier on in the supply chain though
