Sorry but £45 a year off energy bills makes no meaningful difference Unpegging the price of electricity from that of wholesale gas (£120/MWh whereas wind is £15/MWh) would make a meaningful difference.

President Trump's inaugural address was a misleading assessment of the U.S. It has a growing economy, falling inflation, slowing illegal immigration, a record-breaking stock market, the lowest levels of violent crime in years and a military that has limited engagement in conflicts around the world.

nytimes.com

Trump’s inaugural address centers on pledge to lift a country in ‘decline’

In his second Inaugural Address, the president reprised dark themes from his first and laid out an expansive policy agenda.
