The NEW Winter of Discontent: How Russian-inflated gas prices, two fertiliser plants closing, shortage of HGV drivers and an energy network 'not fit for purpose' has created 'perfect storm' to cripple UK

  • Price of wholesale gas has surged by 250% since the beginning of the year and added 70% just since August
  • Five small energy suppliers have already gone bust, and there are warnings more will follow without action
  • Natural gas shortage has hit carbon dioxide production - causing major problems for food production sector
  • Above problems exacerbated by continuing lorry driver shortage that has led to gaps on supermarket shelves
Rising natural gas prices, an energy network 'not fit for purpose' and a shortage of lorry drivers are creating a 'perfect storm' to cripple the UK, experts warned today.

The price of wholesale gas has surged by 250% since the beginning of the year and added 70% just since August as demand increases while the economy opens up, according to figures from Oil & Gas UK.

Amid fears of soaring domestic bills and a 'three-day working week', five small energy suppliers have already gone bust, and there are warnings more will follow unless taxpayers stump up billions.

A cocktail of other factors are also at play, including gas supplies drying up from Russia, high demand in Asia, wind turbines not spinning due to still weather conditions and North Sea platforms closing for maintenance that was paused during the pandemic.

The Russians are behind a lot of shady stuff. Who do you think is behind all the antivax propaganda wanting to divide our country? The Russians.

Nordstream2 is coming online soon. How can Russian gas supplies be drying up?

There's got to be more to the story...

Russia does nothing wrong. They stick to their own business and stay out of the elections and operations of other countries.

Enabled By Biden, Putin Declares Energy War On Europe

Former President Donald Trump's delusional deference to Vladimir Putin was generally limited to his statements .

President Joe Biden has no such excuse. Punishing Biden's appeasement of his energy blackmail policy, Putin is now waging an energy war on Europe.

Biden only has himself to blame. Abandoning Trump administration and congressional sanctions, Biden approved Putin's Nord Stream 2 Gazprom pipeline . Facing fierce criticism, Biden then reached a Monty Python-esque deal with Germany. That agreement was supposed to ensure that Russia wouldn't use Nord Stream 2 to cut off Ukraine's access to billions of dollars in energy transit fees and extort European political appeasement in return for stable energy supplies. The deal was always a complete joke.

Except to the Kremlin.

Because Putin has now rewarded Biden with a delivery of farcical vengeance to make the great Russian satirist Nikolai Gogol proud.

Enabled by Biden, Putin declares energy war on Europe

Hell, just take their knives, pliers, screwdrivers, shovels and forks away from them. They’ve already pooned out and gave the country away
