It’s 1st October, 2022.
You’ve got a calendar: and know that, already.
Here in the UK … ?
That means that gas and electricity prices are going up.
They’ve been capped: at a level — per unit of energy — that means the average family’s average bill will be some £2500.
I’m a single man: and doubt I’ll pay that much.

So do some Tory MPs.
Apparently, some have put in Letters of No Confidence with the 1922 Committee: in order to trigger another leadership contest.
Good for them.
As much as the country doesn’t need another contest, it also doesn’t need Liz Truss.
