Arrived at work tonight to be told “we might have to shut the shop” last week the electric bill came in 10 x dearer today the gas came in, from £900 to £10,058.59 it’s a small family run business here since 1982 this would be tragic! 😢 #fuelcrisis #Aberdeen

Thank you @SteveBakerHW for highlighting my tweet. Small/medium businesses are getting annihilated by energy costs, especially those in my industry. There’s been no price cap, so many of us have been paying double all year, now many are paying over 5 TIMES last year’s prices. 🚨

NEW - A massive thunderstorm in Inverness has caused Vue Cinema's roof to leak pretty extensively. The roof at a nearby Tesco has also collapsed due to the rain. #WeatherUpdate

Very interesting thread which helps to explain the UK oil and gas supply crisis / pricing. Successive UK governments have sold off North Sea assets & licenses and are now forced into buying the energy supply back.
UK energy crisis: UK gov have sold off and squandered North Sea oil and gas profits, taxes and levies from the external oil and gas industry they sold the drilling rights to since the Thatcher years in late 70’s/80’s with no reserves plan for UK citizens or businesses../(1)

Cost of living crisis is rightly getting the attention from the media,people are in trouble & it will get worse. Very little is being said about small businesses & the crippling rates of which energy has spiked due to no price cap. I feel the public are unaware of this situation

Some businesses are paying 4-5 times the pence per Kilowatt rate they were paying last year. ( 60-70pkh ) Yes, the media is right to focus on households, but this total lack of attention to what is happening in many industries is wrong. Poverty occurs when people lose jobs…

Businesses are not subject to a energy price cap like households are. The spiralling energy costs risk destroying businesses. It’s not just a cost of living crisis. It’s a cost to business crisis. #CostOfLivingCrisis
