The Government charges 50% of the price at the pump and in return for the £35bn it receives delivers roads which look like they were laid by the same people who made David Lammy's cervix. The biggest rip off in this country is what we pay for your Government you turd nudging
If fuel companies try to rip off customers, my government will step in. @RachelReevesMP and @Ed_Miliband are bringing the bosses of the fuel companies in today, to make sure that customers aren’t losing out because of the conflict in the Middle East.

Agreed. But nor should you deserve a vote because you’ve been a second/third-rate cabinet minister but greased up enough to a prime minister for him/her to send you to an unelected parliamentary chamber to do their bidding and live out your twilight years in comfort and status,
Hereditary peers out of the Lords at long long last - delivering the rather simple principle that you don’t deserve a vote in Parliament by virtue of which family your were born into

Peerage by inheritance is finally gone, replaced with peerage by purchase and influence. And the ghastly meritocratic class calls this progress.

We don’t need an official definition of Islamophobia. We don’t need an official definition of anti-Semitism. We don’t need communalism or ethnic categorisation or DEI. All Britons should be protected by the same laws.

The absurdity of the UK not using its vast North Sea gas reserves and instead relying on LNG imports is comparable only to the madness of Germany closing its perfectly functional nuclear power plants. Future historians will be busy researching Europe’s green self-destruction.
Britain has just two days of gas stored up - sparking fears of a supply crisis amid the Iran war
