Gordon Brown has pointed out that while gas and electricity prices rose to take account of the increased price of oil, there have been no corresponding cuts in fuel bills as the price of oil comes down. Ed Miliband, the Energy Secretary, has met the six big energy retailers to tell them that the Government wants prices to fall. Meanwhile, the former head of Energywatch, Allan Asher, has said that consumers' annual bills of £1,200 could be reduced by up to a third if there were reforms to the wholesale market and greater competition between suppliers. He has a point: at a time when official inflation figures are just over five per cent, some suppliers have increased gas prices by a third. 2008-10-21T07:56:31Z http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/theatre/review-23542049-capturing-the-big-bad-woolf.do If ever there was a work suited to the theatre director Katie Mitchell's distinctive style of radical reinterpretation it is Virginia Woolf's The Waves, starting its second National Theatre run. 2008-08-19T23:00:00Z http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/music/review-23526384-shame-about-the-dame-in-solyoms-show.do Stefan Solyom, the BBCSSO's young Swedish associate guest conductor, drew increasingly energetic and committed playing from the orchestra. 2008-08-04T23:00:00Z http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/showbiz/article-23525326-aged-49-and-12-months-liz-joness-struggle-to-confront-the-turning-50.do All her life she’s lied (and lied) about her age.
