What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Simon Francis and Jonathan Bean commissioned a survey from Survation, which found that monopolies in the energy sector posted over £8 billion in profits from Great Britain alone during the first nine months of 2026. The survey also indicated that nearly 60 per cent of the public considers the level of profits in the energy industry to be unacceptable.
