However, just 41% of people now say they would still back sanctions if it means a further rise in energy bills.Not 100% up on how things work but perhaps things won't be as bad as we first feared... Why are Europe’s gas prices falling?
...fingers crossed anyhow. And lets hope the milder weather continues for a bit longer still.

Current estimates are that we've sent over 4 billion to Ukraine. I think it's fair enough to question with the current financial storm heading are way whether that could be reduced. We're about to see a lot of cuts and tax rises and I think there's a level where people will start to question the amount of money we're sending.

Are we pretending that increased costs in the UK are down to Putin? |

I'm not sure of the facts that support your conspiracy theory?
Surely the lack of exports of grain, fertiliser and obvious energy issues are going to have some effect?
I'm not saying it's purely Putin's war, but it's a reasonable chunk of it.

I'm not saying it's purely Putin's war, but it's a reasonable chunk of it. potash is a major component of fetilzer and russa is a major exporter hence hte big rise in fertilizer prices and knock on effect on food prices, combimned with argentinas poor harvest of wheat last year. |

...fingers crossed anyhow. And lets hope the milder weather continues for a bit longer still. the EU has a large storage capacity for gas which is aimed at ensuring steady supplies through europe, the EU has tried to reduce gas consumption by 15% and norway ghas increased its export of gas to the EU by 8% ,however norway has refused to agree to an EU price cap. but even with all that htey have a shortfal of gas with russia semingly content to burn it rather than supply any gas to the EU . |

Lockdowns also caused long lasting economic issues, but we pretend that isn’t the case…

Always said the first lockdown was understandable, any after that were a nonsense exercise, as were the masks on entering pubs and then taking them off when you've sat down and the like.
