The ceremonial handing of the polo shirt back earlier this morning was a beautiful event. After a handshake as limp as a used condom, Rob handed back his box fresh polo shirt and thanked his master. Chris accepted the polo before saying “farewell and cowabunga dude”. #hiChris

Hurling appears to be a mix of UFC, rugby, hockey, football, baseball, the egg and spoon race all whilst hitting a snooker ball as hard as you can as high into the sky as possible towards goal with what looks like the bones of a tomahawk steak. 10/10. Would recommend #hurling

British Gas profits have gone from £72m to £751m in one year - while people all over the country can’t afford to heat their homes. Everything needs changing. Citizens ahead of shareholders

British Gas 2021 and before profit £75m Fake Energy Crisis. Profit 2022 £720m Profit 2023 £750m Their 10x profits are the crisis, and there is zero action from Government.

@JonJonesSnr Nationalise the energy companies and throw the directors in prison for profiteering.

No doubt those profits will be shared out amongst the staff.

4 and a half million pounds a year. https://t.co/vFAUpAG6YU.HELL

Congratulations to British Gas who made record profits of £969,000,000 in six months. That’s almost *ten times* more than last year, while millions are struggling to pay the bills. We must end this daylight robbery and bring energy into public hands, now.

British Gas has just announced profits of £969,000,000 That's up TEN-FOLD on last year. They're lining their pockets while you pay higher bills. As the world burns and energy bills soar, we need an energy system under public ownership, run for people and planet - not profit.

British Gas made record profits of nearly £1 billion after the energy watchdog lifted the price cap Shareholders and executives making money hand over fist while ordinary people are plunged into poverty And people say our economic model isn’t broken.. https://t.co/BaTNHMu19u

British Gas profits £969m after price cap rises allowed it to make more money from household bills. They now propose a 33% hike in dividends & £450m extension of share buyback. Meanwhile 2 million households can’t afford their gas bill. What am I missing?

British Gas has just announced a first-half year profit of £969m. Their record profits are your record energy bills. Instead of allowing companies to profiteer and make the very few very rich, we need to take energy into public ownership and run it for the benefit of all.

British Gas profits soar by 889% to record £969m as households struggle with huge bills. It is legalised robbery. Profiteering = inflation = cost of living crisis. Govt cuts real wages, does nothing to curb profiteering. Ofgem does not protect people. https://t.co/CqoIUUDGAr

Word of the day is ‘ingordigious’ (17th century): motivated primarily by greed.

British Gas has just posted an 888% increase in profits for 2023 compared to the first 6 months of 2022. An 888% increase. Morning, all.

British Gas: Anger as energy bill change leads to record profits End Fuel Poverty Coalition: "At a time when household energy debt is spiralling to record levels....the profits posted will be greeted with disbelief by those struggling through the crisis."

British Gas just reported record profits: £969,000,000 in 6 months, nearly 10x what it made last year. Your sky-high bills are their obscene profits. It's time to bring energy into public ownership, running it to meet your needs, not their greed.

£969 million - British Gas profits this year £98 million - British Gas profits last year Individuals and businesses struggle in a Cost of Profit Crisis.

Quite remarkable that British Gas couldn’t even acknowledge their unethical forced installation of pre-payment meters today. The regulator Ofgem promises to take action against energy suppliers in breach of their licence conditions. We on @CommonsBEIS expect that to happen.
