Spike in wholesale gas prices will not result in goods shortages or price hikes for UK customers, COP26 president Alok Sharma says

A spike in wholesale gas prices will not result in goods shortages or price hikes for customers in the UK, a climate change minister has said.

Mr Sharma told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show that people should not be concerned about the risks of gas supply."Of course, when it comes to prices there will be concern as well," he said. Mr Sharma said: "A significant part of our gas supply comes domestically. The imported gas primarily comes from countries like Norway so we are securing that.""That's how we ensure you have a clean energy mix and you have security of supply in our country," he said.Greg Jackson, chief executive of Octopus Energy - one of the UK's six largest providers - said this was "the most extreme energy market in decades".

So using the usual Tory logic ,it will then

Really, surely that’s down to OFGEM (whatever they do) and not COP26. Could be wrong.

Don’t worry the gas supply is guaranteed as Nord Stream 2 was just finished. Thank you Germany.

Not today, but tomorrow.

How’s that going to work?

So price gouging then… sounds about right for this Government

Utter nonsense to suggest that rising costs won't result in rising prices.

I don't think Alok Sharma will be happy when he finds out what fertilizer cost if the price stay on this level.

And you believe him, Why?

🤣🤣🤣 Really The Gas companies are going to take a hit to their profits are they banging the National Front Tory drum!

Phew a government minister has told us it will be alright, and of course we can take that guarantee to the bank as we have seen throughout the past few years they have always kept their promise and never let us down. So expect prices to triple by end of next week.
