From Reuters: "France has committed to capping an increase on regulated electricity costs at 4%. To help do this the government has ordered utility EDF (EDF.PA), which is 80% state owned, to sell more cheap nuclear power to rivals"

Then, the electricity wholesale price on the open market becomes irrelevant. As long as their set a price that covers their actual costs for their own consumers they are fine and it is sustainable, and certainly does not require any debts since it does not actually cost anything (beyond the cost of buying the remaining 20% of EDF).
Rinse and Repeat ad infinitum
On the contrary, we recognise that everyone has a duty to keep everyone else safe, which was especially true during the early pandemic times, when it seemed like it was quite dangerous and Americans ignored it and died in the tens of thousands.
It was when it was observed that we were not in it together that heads rolled.
And it looks like our observations panned out, as we do not have any lockdowns anymore and I don't know of anyone who is still getting sick in a bad way.
I could foresee riots again like the 2010 ones but I doubt it'd do to much change other than lead to some imprisoned people and property damage.
So, unlike, say, the poll tax riots i doubt itll lead to any meaningful British/English political changes.
It may add fuel to Northern Ireland joining Ireland/Scottish independence though.
