I have been reflecting on yesterday's political debacles. One of these was the fiasco of a plan that Rishi Sunak put forward to support those who will suffer dramatic increases in energy prices over the coming months and years. My response was a Twitter thread, unusually for me actually written on Twiter itself and so only capable of easy reproduction by screenshot.

The argument continued with me saying:

I am quite convinced that what we are seeing is evidence of total market failure. We must have reform or this crisis will not go away.

But is Labour willing to suggest it? And will the SNP do so too? It's beholden on both to rise to the challenge.
