The Tories are basically socialists at this point. They swell the profits of companies that produce real goods and services through creating tons of money from thin air, then tax those companies that profited more. This creates a large disincentive for energy companies in the future, further exacerbating the problem.
It's hard for me to believe this is a result of incompetence, but rather malice.
I hate MTD, but I'm glad we have a government that does things for its citizens. If Peter Schiff had his way we'd be copying the American model of healthcare and our country would be far worse off for it.
Governments get a lot wrong, but the private sector isn't a panacea for every problem.
I agree that the private sector isn't a panacea for every problem, and respectfully disagree that we'd be "far worse off for it". Just because the costs of the NHS are not explicitly visible in NI contributions and taxes, doesn't mean we don't pay a large amount for our health care. From the gov's website: In 2017, spending on healthcare in the UK totalled £197.4 billion. This equates to approximately £2,989 spent per person, or 9.6% of gross domestic product (GDP). Nurses and doctors are overworked, waiting times through the roof. Definitely not the best system in the world.

Exactly!
