Apart from the people who can’t work from home
This pointless war is crippling the UK

Would it offset energy shortages though?
Sure it would cut petrol usage. But unless everyone in an office works from home, the office will still be heated, and their homes will now be heated when otherwise they wouldn’t.

„He said: „The real crisis for Britain and for [Europe](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/europe) will come at the end of April and in early May, when the real shortage will translate into both a physical shortage and a sharp rise in prices. I don’t think we’ve yet seen the full impact on prices of this loss of supply.“
Asked if the price of diesel could climb higher than £2 per litre, he said: „It could go a good deal north of that. The jet fuel prices doubled, and I think that could go further north as well.“
The Epstein Files Distraction War will soon be hitting everyone much harder, economically.

Such a shit clickbait headline, turns out the guy doing the telling is “a former Government adviser” and was “previously vice-president for strategy and policy at oil giant BP”. Why should we listen to him?

Seems like an easy win to save a bit of fuel for those that can’t avoid driving for their jobs. Not sure what the fuss is about as it’s not like people can’t socialise after working hours. You just won’t have to endure the office bully or the office slurper for a while. Win, win.

We could have had WFH even without an energy shortage.

They go back and forth with work from home. Its OK when it suits them but when it suits the worker they can absolutely go to hell

I got cold sweats thinking there was a new virus I didn’t know about and we were about to go back into lockdown.

Not possible, cos of the water cooler chats. Ever since I was RTO’d two days per week I’ve been spending half the day standing by the water cooler having water cooler chats. Made lots of new friends while doing absolutely no work, the bosses love it and I’ve subsequently been promoted. This isn’t even a joke, I’m deadly serious, water cooler chats are the best.

This is long overdue. Fuel should be preserved for emergency service as the first priority.

Just think of it as an incentive for all those pension funds to start bankrolling electrification across the land,

I fucking hate these clickbait headlines, he hasn’t been told to do that at all. A former advisor has told a journalist that its an option he should consider.

I can’t see this happening unless we reach truly dire straits on fuel supply. Like, ‚you only allowed X litres per week‘ fuel rationing levels of dire.

Meanwhile the FTSE and S&P500 are near all time highs. It sure is a weird time to be investing.

I love after the great health pandemic we are about to enter fuel economic lockdowns.

Just do it. The employers already know how to manage it from COVID. We know it works

I work in an office doing international freight, something which can be done just as easily from home. I’ve done it with previous employers.
My current employer point blank refuses to let anyone work from home. Laptops were cheaper to buy than desktop PC’s when we were getting new equipment, my boss was told to order the desktop PC’s anyway as they did not want people having the option to work from home.
I have been made use holidays for simple things like boiler services etc. When i could just work from home in the morning and come in once its done.
My boss has a laptop and works from home when she wants though, really leading by example.

The government could also reduce VAT or fuel full duty. How about a maximum price per litre and if it goes over due to oil prices, vat/duty (either or) are reduced accordingly to keep it below that cap. VAT on fuel is ridiculous anyway, it’s not a luxury, it’s an essential item.

I do over 50k miles a year in my diesel, my fuel costs have gone up from about £600 a month to £1k a month. FML

What an absolute shite website that is. The amount of pop ups and adverts make it unreadable.
As per working from home I am lucky in that I can basically work from home whenever I want. Which currently is 2 or 3 days at home per week. This won’t be changing any time soon. It’s massively improved my work life balance because I can get some chores done and not have to spend all my free time doing them. Most of the people who are against working from home are boomers who are jealous as working from home wasn’t really a thing for them.

They will make you poor, they will sell you that war is necessary and that it pains their heart.
Change or continuation of the system. You decide

Robert Peston has said similar last night . Expect a ramp up in the messaging if there’s not a pretty sudden change in the Strait.

>People are being encouraged to work at home. And I think you have to test now whether there’s a willingness
I think there’s generally a willingness among employees (based on your job, obviously), but many employers will be fighting it tooth and nail.
