in the i with "electricty blackout warning this winter" and the worst case scenarios with households facing three hour energy cuts. the guardian leads on suggestions from charities that rolling power cuts could put lives at risk. the theme is continued in the mail with the headlines �*blackout deal sparks a storm'. the paper says households could be offered ten pounds a day not to use energy at peak times. the times sticks with the same theme with "gas import threat puts uk at risk" and says the prime minister has blocked a campaign to encourage people to use less energy. the mirror features a 1970 photo of a candlelit pub in newcastle with the words, "return to the dark ages" suggesting we are lurching towards similar power shortages this winter. finally, the financial times leads with the bank of england saying the uk was on the brink of crisis last week after the chancellor's mini budget, and that if it had not intervened, there would have been severe disruption to the financial markets and pensions.

let's begin and let start with the front page of the mirror. rachel, return to the dark ages? yes. front page of the mirror. rachel, return to the dark ages? yes, these are the warnings _ return to the dark ages? yes, these are the warnings about _ return to the dark ages? yes, these are the warnings about the - return to the dark ages? yes, these are the warnings about the uk - return to the dark ages? yes, these i are the warnings about the uk could face energy outages this winter. i will start with an apology. i think the last time we did this we mixed up the last time we did this we mixed up the winter of discontent, which was 1978, 79 with the three weeks blackouts which was 1973, 1974, under edward heath, the conservative by minister. i will point that out because there will be comments about it and there was multiple front pages tomorrow splashing on this warning that if a combination of the fact a perfect storm emerges which includes a cold snap this winter,

the uk not being able to import gas from europe because of the shortages there and our own wind farm is not producing enough power, that we could be forced into these planned power outages for three hours at a time. people would be given notice the power would be out and that would be the first time since the 19705 that would be the first time since the 1970s that happen.— would be the first time since the 1970s that happen. thank you for clari in: 1970s that happen. thank you for clarifying that — 1970s that happen. thank you for clarifying that. lord _ 1970s that happen. thank you for clarifying that. lord digby - 1970s that happen. thank you for clarifying that. lord digby jones, | clarifying that. lord digbyjones, the mirror alluding to an acquisition that the prime minister is refusing to act?— is refusing to act? yes, i wouldn't blame the — is refusing to act? yes, i wouldn't blame the labour _ is refusing to act? yes, i wouldn't blame the labour party _ is refusing to act? yes, i wouldn't blame the labour party song - is refusing to act? yes, i wouldn't l blame the labour party song sheet, the daily— blame the labour party song sheet, the daily mirror from having a pop at the _ the daily mirror from having a pop at the tory— the daily mirror from having a pop at the tory government. that is what it does_ at the tory government. that is what it does and _ at the tory government. that is what it does and that is what people buy it does and that is what people buy it for~ _ it does and that is what people buy it for~ i_ it does and that is what people buy it for. i would just point out, it was _ it for. i would just point out, it was a — it for. i would just point out, it was a tory— it for. i would just point out, it was a tory prime minister in 73,74 that winter— was a tory prime minister in 73,74 that winter which was three day week, _ that winter which was three day week, i— that winter which was three day week, i remember it, iwas that winter which was three day week, i remember it, i was doing that winter which was three day week, i remember it, iwas doing my a-tevets _ week, i remember it, iwas doing my a-tevets and — week, i remember it, iwas doing my a—levels and we were studying by candlelight. and in 1978 which was a

and telling people what they can and cannot spend energy on may be interventionist and we may come to that if we have blackouts. but asking people please, do you patriotically duty and turn the thermostat down, turn the light down, get some of the blitz spirit, the covid spirit. there is nothing that an ideological free marketeers should have a problem with. it is good economics and be helpfulfor the public, it would be good politics and also this campaign would cost £15 million, which is pennies compared to what the government is about to spend on its energy price freeze subsidy. i think it is one 4000th of what they're going to spend on that. it would save the treasury money, it would save the treasury money, it would save households money and i think the politics and the economics of this mean she is going to have to do a u—turn on this, they will have to be some kind of public information campaign this winter to help people

and to help the uk's energy supplies and to help the uk's energy supplies and the treasury cope. why set yourself up now with that no, i am not going to do it when she is obviously going to have to u—turn. it doesn't make sense. you obviously going to have to u-turn. it doesn't make sense.— obviously going to have to u-turn. it doesn't make sense. you have 'ust use the it doesn't make sense. you have 'ust the word — it doesn't make sense. you have 'ust use the word u-turn i it doesn't make sense. you have 'ust use the word u-turn and i it doesn't make sense. you have 'ust use the word u-turn and digby h it doesn't make sense. you have just use the word u-turn and digby is - use the word u—turn and digby is agreeing. i take that is agreement? i have to say, i know it might not be fashionable, but rachel was correct — be fashionable, but rachel was correct on _ be fashionable, but rachel was correct on that point and i can return— correct on that point and i can return the _ correct on that point and i can return the compliment. you were spot on. return the compliment. you were spot on firstly— return the compliment. you were spot on. firstly from a political point of view, — on. firstly from a political point of view, from playing the game, if you like. _ of view, from playing the game, if you like, why pinch yourself into the corner? _ you like, why pinch yourself into the corner? why set it up, that she goes _ the corner? why set it up, that she goes back— the corner? why set it up, that she goes back on it isn't the point, why set it— goes back on it isn't the point, why set it up. _ goes back on it isn't the point, why set it up, why cut down your options? _ set it up, why cut down your options? it is lousy politics. the mini _ options? it is lousy politics. the mini budget showed lousy politics and this— mini budget showed lousy politics and this isjust the same. you were spot on— and this isjust the same. you were spot on with — and this isjust the same. you were spot on with the fact it is pennies

than using a hot water bottle. so if people are trying to make decisions about how to stay warm this winter, that kind of information is really useful. i don't think it is interventionist of anyone to give people information and say, here, you want to save money and help, this is how you do it. i you want to save money and help, this is how you do it.— this is how you do it. i think the conce -t this is how you do it. i think the concept of _ this is how you do it. i think the concept of giving _ this is how you do it. i think the concept of giving someone - this is how you do it. i think the concept of giving someone £10| this is how you do it. i think the i concept of giving someone £10 to help them save themselves money, he is £10 _ help them save themselves money, he is £10 to _ help them save themselves money, he is £10 to help you save £10, i get it, i is £10 to help you save £10, i get it. i see — is £10 to help you save £10, i get it. i see that— is £10 to help you save £10, i get it, i see that good old—fashioned bribery— it, i see that good old—fashioned bribery would work, it's a shame it is so _ bribery would work, it's a shame it is so necessary when, as rachel was saying. _ is so necessary when, as rachel was saying. they— is so necessary when, as rachel was saying, they are so many gibbons in this, saying, they are so many gibbons in this. you _ saying, they are so many gibbons in this, you could use. the one thing that worries — this, you could use. the one thing that worries me just from a national and probably from a western democracy point of view, and this i include _ democracy point of view, and this i include america, for two and a half years. _ include america, for two and a half years, governments have given people money— years, governments have given people money to— years, governments have given people money to do— years, governments have given people money to do not allot. and then with
