If they had gotten started on the work in April maybe they could have done something effective.
So much of this lot can be summed up in a similar way.
RE? Even if we'd have carried on as we were we'd have been in a better position.
Someone on AQ on Friday said that the government had acted quickly! Wtf? Sometimes I think there's a case to say an opposition is just sniping from the side lines, but Labour have been suggesting fucking solutions.
Then you hear random callins talking about some sort of unity government when this lot refuse to implement obvious policies, until eventually it gets to the point that they've run out of shit alternatives.

Yes. This is true. Especially if the scheme is designed in a rush. If they had gotten started on the work in April maybe they could have done something effective. Now we are in mid October there is no way to do this for winter 2022/23.
In principle you could imagine a system where the first essential amount of energy for each household gets a heavily subsided price and then each further block of energy attracts an ever escalating price. Probably with regional variation in the size of the blocks to reflect the fact it is a lot colder in winter in Glasgow than London for example. But doing something like this requires a focused competent government.
