Labour’s promise to ‘cut energy bills for good’ is still on its site as bills rocket by 10%

Yet more mockery of the people by corporate-owned Labour

Energy regulator Ofgem has announced a huge 10% rise in the average household energy bill, after the government-controlled regulator raised the energy price cap. Ofgem board members are directly appointed by the government.

The promise to permanently reduce energy prices in government was a flagship policy of Labour’s general election campaign – and remains on the party’s website at the time of writing:

Starmer’s ‘Great British Energy’ has been exposed as a scam that will further enrich private investors but won’t supply any energy, but the UK’s ‘mainstream’ media have ignored this.

Labour admitted yesterday that its finances are propped up by corporate and billionaire donors after it haemorrhaged members because of its Tory policies, support for genocide and the unpopularity of Keir Starmer and his team.

In the six weeks or so that Labour has been in office, election campaign promises and ‘missions’ have been shredded at pace. The first acts in office of Starmer and his drones have included suspending MPs for voting against starving children, hiding data on how many poor benefit claimants the Tories killed, continuing to support genocidal Israel, increasing the surveillance state, blocking executive mayors from capping rents, banning MPs from attending anti-fascist demonstrations, launching a huge programme to persecute refugees, attacking our civil freedoms, binning the Leveson inquiry that was supposed to bring rogue papers to heel, imposing real-terms social and council housing rent increases yearly for the next ten years continuing NHS privatisation and condemning pensioners to freeze in winter while spending billions more on weapons.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves has signalled billions in cuts to vital services to come in her autumn budget.
