In jumpers and blankets

 

                                        

Back at work on Tuesday after the bank holiday. It is difficult to find any of the girls working there interested in anything to do with politics or the economic crisis. However, one of them described the joys of living with her mother again. I asked how she would help pay her Mum's energy bills this winter. "We won't heat our homes at all," she said. "We'll just sit around in jumpers and blankets and go to bed early". Her friends agreed. It appears that the energy price rise announcement have affected absolutely every one. Albina is saying much the same. And the government still cannot offer a definitive plan on how to tackle the price hike, because the Tories are still waiting for the emergence of their leader this Sunday, while the retiring PM could not care a flying fart about the current crisis. With each day their likelihood of re-election gets less and less.
