Wholesale gas now 191p per therm.
It was 702 per therm on August 26
It was 530 per therm on March 7
It was 293 per therm on Oct 5 (2021)
We are being totally ripped off.
#BorisJohnson #EdDavey care to reply? The consumer got hit very hard on the rising market where is the other side of the coin please? #ofcom

Something seriously odd is afoot in natural gas markets.
There's a BIG glut of gas in the UK.
Wholesale gas prices are the lowest in 18 months.
There is so much gas no-one is quite sure what to do with it
Yet far from falling, household gas bills are heading even higher.

Why is it electriicity prices are rising as well as Gas, when my energy supplier @EON_SE_en say their electricity is 100% renewable? Has the price of wind power gone up, or are they simply “blowing a raspberry” at their customers and cashing in? #energybills
#HarryMeghan. Might be worth telling Harry and Meghan that if it comes to a choice for the British public between @HMQueen, and them, they will lose. Stop stirring up trouble.

Here are my reflections on the @SouthamptonFC result last night. #SaintsFC
The chancellor says the economic downturn is the worst for 300 years. Does anyone know what happened in 1720, which was at least as bad? @thehistoryguy @HistoricalSoton @HistoryHit
Boris said we are now manufacturing 70% of our PPE needs and have a stockpile of 3/4 months. In March we produced 1%. Is he right? @faisalislam any comments on this?
It sounds like we are getting back to normality now - the news is now talking about Brexit. Soon, no doubt, the smily face of @bbclaurak will grace our screens with uplifting, positive comments on the political issues. We can but hope!

The BBC have dropped the lyrics to 'Land of Hope and Glory' from Last Night of the Proms... but Mike Graham will not be silenced.
What do you think of Mike's version?

Koeman &Pochettino in the running for the Barcelona job. Both ex @saintsfc managers. You have a say, the club has a great track record of developing football talent.

Really good news that in Portsmouth only 1 new positive COVID 19 test in the last week and only 5 positive tests in the whole of June, so really low infection rates. #Portsmouth #Southsea #COVID19 – at Portsmouth, England
I think we should name 1 July as ”The Somme Day” after all have a day for everything else

It might bring you to tears but you need to see it. The look in the 16 year olds eyes. The desperation of his elders.
How can we still be doing this In 2020? Feeling hopeless and guilty to be part of a world that has looked the other way too many times. We must change.

True even today. As was said then, today is a brief moment of joy and their is still some tough times ahead. But we shall triumph, as that is the British way.
"Everyone, man or woman, has done their best. Everyone has tried. Neither the long years nor the dangers, nor the fierce attacks of the enemy, have in any way weakened the unbending resolve of the British nation". Churchill 9th May 1945.
Proud & thankful 75 years on.

We have found @BBCNews so depressing and negative I have decided not to watch it anymore. It’s more a magazine than a news programme anyway. I’ll get my news elsewhere. Shame.
