UK households to face steepest summer rise in energy charges in four years as government’s energy price cap for Great Britain rises 13%. The average gas and electricity bill will increase to the equivalent of £1,862 a year from July until the end of September, largely (but not entirely) to take account of the rise in global energy market prices caused by the war on Iran. The cost of living is now back at the top of the political agenda.



Energy bills are rising again. Labour will blame Iran, but you’re paying more because of Ed Miliband’s net zero taxes and refusal to drill our own oil and gas. Our Cheap Power Plan would cut bills by 20% by scrapping the green taxes, scrapping VAT and drilling in the North Sea.






~10 years ago, back in 2014, Sony announced Project Morpheus (later Playstation VR). There was a spirit of intense competition, but also collaboration - Oculus and Sony always swapped demos. Sony actually paid for all the indie game dev booths at the Tokyo Game Show for many years, even ones that had nothing to do with Playstation. Even the ones who were only on competing platforms like Oculus! That is just the kind of guy @yosp was.
