Soaring energy bills are threatening to put six in 10 British manufacturers out of business, according to a survey that lays bare the extent of the crisis facing the next British prime minister.
MakeUK, the lobby group for UK factories, said that nearly half of manufacturers have experienced a jump in electricity bills of more than 100% in the past year.
“The current crisis is leaving businesses facing a stark choice,” the report said. “Cut production or shut up shop altogether if help does not come soon.”
The UK’s new prime minister will be announced on Monday, with Liz Truss expected to beat Rishi Sunak, her rival in the Conservative Party leadership race. The government is under intense pressure to announce a wider package of support to help consumers and businesses cope with an unprecedented surge in global energy costs.
Britain’s factory sector is already in decline, according to a purchasing managers’ index published by S&P Global this week. MakeUK’s survey said that 13% of factories now have reduced hours of operation or are avoiding peak periods, while 7% are halting production for longer stretches.
“Emergency action is needed by the new government,” said Stephen Phipson, MakeUK’s chief executive officer. “We are already lagging behind our global competitors.”

Now, you are playing God and writing future His Story. Where would you, a just, righteous Judge, put the rapture of your bride? The ones you bought with your precious blood when you hung on the cross for six hours at Calvary? Before the tribulation, in the middle or the end of the tribulation? Would you put your "body of Christ", the Church, through the horrors of the tribulation or the antichrists, 1John 4:3, who crucified you?
"The elect" refer to Christians, so I'm going with mid-tribulation.
Considering that Jesus and the apostles were also Jews - first referred to as Christians later in Antioch - it would be more accurate to state that the Jewish religious leaders at that time (Caiaphas the high priest, and other Pharisees) were responsible for compelling Pilate to crucify Christ, because Jesus was a threat to their authority and teachings.
IMO, Rev. 7 refers to the rapture, beginning with 144,000 Jews, then a great multitude of Christians.
Again from Mt. 24, consider that the beginning of sorrows and subsequent tribulation are just tests - final exams - of our character and faith.
"...lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." -Mt. 28:20
"No man" means no man, Brainiac.
2. The Jews killed Christ and all the prophets, read 1Thes.2:15.
3. If you are saved there is no need for further testing, the blood of Jesus is sufficient. The bigger question remains, are you really saved?
4. C.7 doesn't mention Christians, only the 144,000 Jews. The Church is mentioned 19 times in Rev.C1-5 but not once during the tribulation, C.6-19.
I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! For I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin.
I don't think God would allow his people to be without leadership. When you think about Moses, because of his sin at the Rock of Meribah, he was not allowed to enter the Promise Land with the Isrealites, he could see them enter from afar, but he died outside. My point is that God wasn't going to leave the people leaderless in the time of the End. So it would make sense that the Spiritual Guides would remain through the Tribulation, some of them might be martyred along the way, then the remaining ones will be transformed in the twinkling of an eye and be brought to heaven.
Jews will not be saved.
Their final solution.
1.Recognize you are a sinner and that sin is rebellion against God who is holy. God gave man rules, His laws for successful living and becoming one of His children, salvation. There are over 1,000 laws in the New Testament but we are not saved by keeping the law. But when you are saved, born again, God writes His laws in your heart/spirit and that gives you the desire to keep His laws which result in the most good for the most people.
2. After learning what sin is one must repent of all their past sins and make a serious effort to stop sinning with the help of the Holy Spirit who will lead and guide you when you are born again.
3. After recognizing you are a sinner one must recognize and accept Jesus Christ as the "way, the truth and the life" and that "no one comes to the Father except through Jesus" who took the sins of mankind upon Himself at His crucifixion and by believing this with your whole heart/being you must accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior to be saved and on your way to Heaven at the end of your life on earth.
4. Begin reading the Word of God. Start with the Book of John in the New Testament. "Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God."
5. Find a Bible believing church that takes the Bible literally. This isn't always an easy thing to do but generally a Baptist, Pentecostal or evangelical church is a good place to start. WARNING: Very few churches believe the whole Bible in today's liberal world but making the Bible the final authority in your Christian walk is imperative.
6. Keep in mind we are living in climatic times when a seven year tribulation period of God's judgment is about to begin ending with the returning of Jesus Christ to set up His kingdom on earth. One must be a very serious Christian to make it to the end which is really the beginning of Christ's reign on earth after the tribulation which could start this month. No one knows exactly when but Bible prophesy suggests it is imminent.
7. Find a born again Christian friend to help you get on track with God. This was just a very brief explanation of how to become a serious Christian but you will have many questions and a serious Christian friend would be a real help. Remember, Jesus said, "You must be born again." There are many cults and liberal churches that don't believe this. Run from them. God bless your new adventure to eternal life with Jesus Christ!
You are right, Dolph - God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble. Britain and many other countries are nurturing their prideful spirit, not humbling themselves under the mighty hand of God. These hard times are only the result of that.
Individuals: You must be born again.
And so far not one of those you describe has been shot at. Not even one of them. So what do you expect then?
A pandemic (so called) hits the earth.
A healthcare crisis emerges.
A manufacturing and distribution crisis emerges.
A energy crisis pops up earth wide.
A weather crisis of extreme drought pops up all over the world.
A water crisis emerges.
A food crisis emerges.
A inflation crisis emerges.
A banking crisis developed with threats of a cashless central banking system to be implemented..
A political and war crisis as politicians around the world ignore the crisis points and focus on WEF/ UN goals and plans.
Next? Social crisis as people go broke, go homeless and hungry.
All in the span of a few (24) months.
Is this normal?
A weather crisis of extreme drought pops up all over the world.
A water crisis emerges.
A food crisis emerges.
Those three things happen during every Grand Solar Minimum. But the last GSM was the Maunder minimum (1645–1710). The current one is the Eddy GSM.
Even FedGov says this:
"These grand cycles are separated by the grand solar minima, or the periods of very low solar activity [1]. The previous grand solar minimum was Maunder minimum (1645–1710), and the other one before named Wolf minimum (1270–1350)."

All planned and deliberate.
Snap out of it! Be realistic.
What utter rubbish!
These people are not gods. They do NOT have limitless power. And the tide WILL turn back because THAT'S WHAT TIDES DO, Brainiac.
This is NOT the end of the world. It IS the end of industrial society that depends on fossil fuels. But people will do what people do best--ADAPT.
There is an untoward number of commenters here with a bona-fide victim mentality.
YES, lots of people will die, but that's another thing that people do.
But if you ADAPT, you will be all right. We shall lower our living standards, yes, but we are NOT going to eat bugs.
Honestly! Are THAT many of Hal's readers nothing more than frightened children??
Snap out of it! Be realistic! You'll be FINE unless you are a mongoloid IDIOT.
May GOD help us all.
THINK
We are all targets now to this agenda. It's humanity against the cold, calculated, evil mindset of globalist slave masters. Like a farmer who decides that the herd is too large and expensive goes out to thin the flock.
We are the "chattle" to be culled.
If you choose doom, go for it! But stop speaking for everybody else!
Translation: A turd from the government sold me a Rolex. It turned out to be a cheap fake. It doesn't run. It's stuck at midnight. The turd said the government would fix it. Grow a pair and stop worrying.
