As long as ‘it hurts Putin and the Russians’, that’s all that counts. And not getting gas from right under our feet, and achieving net zero! Putting the great back into Britain, go Rishi!

I’m beginning to think that the government should hire a private company to run the country. They could then sack all civil servants and defund all NGO’s. A private company with a long term contract would think further ahead than the next by-election and might make a few sensible investment decisions… unlike the government.
Ministers can keep an eye on the company running the country (but have very limited powers to intervene) and MP’s should be reduced to advocating for local, constituency, issues.
The private sector that reduced gas storage in the UK for profit margins? One has to assume your suggestion tongue in cheek.

So, the UK should increase its LNG storage capacity before the war in Ukraine ends. Further to that, we should accept more investments from Qatar.
Any other great ideas?
The point of storage is quite valid. Provides the operator with pricing power.

Well i call this jump the gun journalism… the writer herself claims details are not public but criticised the decision in a 1000 word article… bravo.!!!,
I don’t know why you got so many down votes. I also dislike articles that make statements based on forecasts based on incomplete data. The writer could just have waited a few days for the details and then analysed the likely impact.
Same with these insta-pundits on the mid-terms. Lets wait until the counting is over before suggesting solutions.

Any of the hawks on here clocked why the Americans were so keen for ENEGRY sanctions? (its not for poor little Ukraine’s sake)

What a great idea. The ultimate outsourcing.
Sure. Whoever has heard pf private companies prioritising short term shareholder value over long term investment.. That never happens.
