With bills having gone up, itβs time to take energy back into public ownership
The obscene profits of the energy industry show the sector is broken
Just six energy companies control over 90% of the UK household energy supply market, Octopus has 23.7% supplying 12.9m households
Competition is in name only and price differences are superficial.
Customers are always fleeced even though people change suppliers.

How to Save a Democracy
Americans can learn from opponents of authoritarianism elsewhere.
"The problem with a delayed response is that the more power leaders with authoritarian tendencies accumulate, the harder it is to mount an effective resistance. The opposition is thus more likely to succeed if it acts early..."

Authoritarian Grift Meets the Grind of Justice
Marine Le Pen has been convicted of fraud, shattering the illusion of far-right immunityβand sending a warning shot to strongmen everywhere.
Every time an authoritarian con-artist is held accountable, every time the mask slips in a courtroom, the spell weakens.
It takes pressure. It takes a public that doesn't flinch when the volume gets turned up. It takes faith - not in the perfection of institutions, but in their potential.

In the long run, Brexit trumps even an unleashed second-term Trump for damage potential.
Trump will go away eventually, though perhaps not peacefully nor as quickly as the US constitution insists he must.
But Brexit will NEVER stop kicking us until we shout "enough!" and act to reverse it.

That's what the famed mastheads said when Trump was to be sentenced. And look what happened.
Are the "inflamed tensions" better or worse now?

Since Brexit, Britain has been hit by a series of huge economic punches:
- Brexit
- Trump 1.0
- Pandemic
- Impacts of Russia's war on Ukraine
- Energy market crisis
- Trump 2.0 (now with added tariffs and vindictiveness)
If those aren't "things have changed" reasons for undoing Brexit, nothing is!
