    There's roughly 40-50 energy providers gone bust in last 2 years. Each one gets swallowed up by the big few.
    First principle to nationalising energy providers is it's harder to control many so shift power to a few big ones. Then slowly but surely make the few suffer -> for everyone else's safety then the final swallow.

      Technically all of those words did indeed come from her mouth, albeit in a slightly different order.

    If they'd depicted Megan Markhle like this, people would be screaming misogyny.
    Nice to the conservative Times first pushing anti-white rhetoric and now mocking the Tory PM.

      Is Meghan Markle running the country?

      Blatant whataboutism. When the queen asks Meghan Markle to form a government, you can ask that question again properly.
