Woo! 'My back to the seventies' scorecard is nearly full!
Oil crisis ✔️
Power cuts ✔️
Heatwave/water rationing ✔️
Stratospheric inflation ✔️
Hard borders ✔️
Holding out for 'platform shoes', 'Cadbury's Smash', and the test card. https://t.co/FaF9TkSBrE via @bpolitics— Stephen McGann💙 (@StephenMcGann) August 9, 2022

Cue people saying stop scaremongering, we lived through this in the 70s, yes but we didn't rely on the internet, electric cars or in some cases life preserving home hospital treatment back then. https://t.co/Vce5Z53Lbq

Will we still be allowed to pay our excessively high energy bills though?? I want to make sure all my money goes to rich old white men, as I freeze to death https://t.co/UcU7nEAvM2

I lived through the Seventies. It was rubbish. I think today’s politicians have forgotten how close we came back then to bloody revolution. https://t.co/MgrwTnD4fA

I swear this government won’t be happy until we’re all milking cats on the street just to survive.

Bet you’re glad we aren’t mired in chaos with this guy.
This is the disgraceful result of 12 years of Tory government that has failed to prepare and refused to invest: scrapping all home insulation programmes, blocking the cheapest power (onshore wind & solar) and closing our gas storage. Bills are higher & our country is less secure. https://t.co/IYysu54oaO
