Yes, all pretty centrist fare, unless one compares it to the increasingly far-right Conservative Party.
Really? Since when was paying everyone a salary to do nothing (if you want to look at it another way which amounts to the same thing, extending the welfare state so that
everyone gets welfare payments whether they need it or not) 'centrist fare'? Since when was unbridled hostility to private enterprise 'centrist fare'? Since when was responding to almost every problem by demanding that the state spends more money 'centrist fare'?
I think your idea of centrist rather differs from mine.
And as to 'far right Conservative party'.... to my mind, 'far right' usually refers to groups like the BNP or the French National Front or Nazi or fascist groups. Of course the Conservatives are a right wing party, but to describe them as 'far right' is beyond ridiculous.
Which is why most businesses will never be subject to a windfall tax. Windfall taxes are reserved for sectors where there is rampant profiteering and exploitation of a position, i.e. the energy and financial services industries.
The energy industry has in recent years sold its products at the market rate. That is not 'profiteering' or 'exploitation', no matter how much you or I might wish that prices were lower. (Of course, if you could show that they were engaging in cartels or unethical/monopolistic practices to deliberately drive prices up, that
would be profiteering. I believe there may be some evidence that some of the Arabic state controlled oil producers may have attempted to do that recently, but I'm not aware of any evidence of UK-based companies doing so).
And if food manufacers such as Unilever and Heinz don’t stop ripping people off, they’ll be next.
How are Unilever and Heinz ripping people off? What's your evidence? (You may note that (a) prices being higher than you'd ideally like is not the same as 'ripping people off', and (b) the food business is very competitive, so a food company that was actually ripping people off would probably very quickly go out of business)
There was only a shortage of energy because the energy producers turned down supply in order to increase the price. Gas was affected by the war, yes, but oil was not, and nor were sustainable energies like wind and solar. Yet they all whacked their price up.
The price of wind and solar went up because it's largely a single market for energy, so less gas available translates into a higher demand for alternative energy sources, which then causes prices of those alternative sources to rise (because if the prices didn't rise, demand would outstrip supply and you'd have people trying to buy energy - including renewable energy - that simply isn't there.
I'm afraid your readiness to accuse all of sundry of profiteering whenever you don't like the prices being charged suggests to me a lack of understanding of how markets work.
