Queen Elizabeth II has died at 96, after 70 years on the THRONE

BBC News: Reports " Queen Elizabeth II, the UK's longest-serving monarch, has died at Balmoral aged 96, after reigning for 70 years.  "

Lets Get Real:

This is a very SAD DAY for the UK, we have lost our rock, the Queen was the stability in a changing age, she was a pillar of stability, duty, devotion, this was indeed a 2nd Elizabethan Age.  The UK has gone through many ups and downs since the late Queen came to the Throne in 1952, we lost an Empire but gained a Commonwealth, we have become a multi - cultured society, the Queen's Coronation was televised to her new subjects, many did not have TV, there has been a vast change in technology, the Queen was up on the latest technology, used facetime to talk to people.  This year was the celebration of her 70 years on the Throne, it showed how loved the Queen was, she will be greatly missed by the people and her family.  It will be sad to think that she is no longer there, thus we must learn to say GOD SAVE THE KING, King Charles 111 one hopes follows the template of his mother when it comes to his Reign. 

Truss Government to CAP Energy Costs = 150 Billion - Truss Era/After Boris/After Brexit

Sky News: Reports " Liz Truss to set out plan to help households and businesses with soaring energy costs....reported to cost up to £150bn.  "

Lets Get Real:

PM Truss is going BIG, she knows that this decision on a cap on energy prices will either lift her in the polls, ready for the 2024 general election or it will sink her.  The freeze of gas prices should go down well with the voters, and help for business will save jobs.  Also inflation will go down.  The cost of the scheme, will be paid by future generations, life is tough, but then in the decades ahead, most of us will be pushing up the daises, thus not our problem.  The Labour Party will find it hard to argue that the scheme is WRONG, the Truss Government is nicking their idea, that is the problem with Opposition, you might come up with a good idea, then the Government takes it on and their idea.  The Labour Party wants a windfall tax, Truss has said a CLEAR NO, this is against Conservative theory, the Chancellor Sunak has already taxed the companies with a windfall tax, this was opposed by Truss in her leadership contest with Sunak.  The polls will be interesting, one would think that the Conservatives would narrow the lead with Labour, also the tax cuts should also gain support.  Thus far so good for Truss.
