Mark Carney also criticised "far-right populists" and Brexiteers for having a "basic misunderstanding of what drives economies". Ms Truss, who became the shortest-serving prime minister in history when she resigned last year, has defended her policies since leaving office.
And Spain? And all the other price caps?
It’s almost like you’re not comprehending what I’m saying

Spain uses a lot of gas, and prices have increased substantially. Between 2017 and 2019 the price per MWh hovered around €50, in 2020 it fell to €34. In 2021 it jumped to €112, and 2022 to €167.
The government started removing excess profits in 2021 - see here - and more recently are also subsidising the cost to generators where needed, see here. This was at the peak of Spain’s inflation, which reached 10% and then fell back to a more typical level, see here.
They have not been able to isolate themselves the same way France have, and are in a situation much closer to the UK with regards to reliance on gas, but through better economic management within Spain and across the eurozone now have lower inflation.
Edit: speeeeling.
Thanks for the random facts, what’s your point?
That context is important and ignoring it means you keep making easily falsifiable claims, like saying the energy crisis didn’t impact other countries. I have now both shown, and explained to, you why that is wrong, and so my work here is done.
Lol, I didn’t say that though.
I said the UK, Netherlands and Belgium let the energy shock into the economy whilst other countries used price caps to keep it out.
I then provided a source that detailed the approach on a country by country basis
You then started quoting random stuff about Spain and France
