Inflation just hit 3.5 percent because motor fuel is up 29.8 percent in a year.
They will blame Trump.
They will blame Putin.
It is Britain’s fault.
We chased Net Zero and shut the North Sea. We could have been energy independent. Instead we import it and you pay 199p at the pump for a litre of diesel.
Around 86p of every litre is tax.
You have to fill the tank to get to work. They made us dependent on expensive imports which is bankrupting us per head and as a country.
They done this.
This is extraction.

A week before the first Burnham-Healey Budget and the UK inflation rose to 3.5% in the year to September, from 3.1% for the year to August. Third successive increase.
Two takeaways:
It’s heading towards 4%.
Interest rates will continue to rise and remain elevated for the foreseeable future.

Guesting on @GBNEWS tonight I suggested all our soldiers who served in Northern Ireland during the Troubles should be given the same Letters of Comfort which Blair granted to the IRA creeps.
Why is it that NO Labour minister ever stands up for the veterans?

An Algerian Hamas supporting invader who went to prison for deception lying about overstaying his visa, is now in a senior role at the BBC.
Hicham Yezza has a long record of supporting Islamist violence and was arrested in 2008 for possessing an al-Qaeda terrorist training manual.
Defund the BBC.

It’s immoral to pardon the IRA, a terrorist organisation that deliberately targeted innocent people, then pursue our soldiers who were acting on orders, on the say so of Dublin or Sinn Fein
Today MPs will vote on Labour's Northern Ireland Troubles Bill.
It tears up the 2023 Legacy Act and opens the door to fresh investigations and civil claims against our brave veterans, decades after they served Queen and Country, fighting against IRA terrorists.
How can this country ever ask people to serve their country if the government refuses to protect them?
I voted against this proposal in November and will do so again. We have a duty to stand by our veterans! 🇬🇧

Do you support Reform’s private prosecution?

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, on Germany:
"Nothing pains me more, frankly, than to see one of the most technologically advanced countries to be left so far behind in technology"
This is what awaits the UK if it realigns with EU regulations. Being left behind.

NEW
The UK Fresh Produce Consortium is warning that, contrary to government statements, the proposed EU reset will see as much as £300 Million in additional annual costs for UK producers, and likely make fruit and vegetables more expensive for consumers.

So thats it confirmed then.
Not only does the EU expect us align fully with laws we have no control over, and in doing so increase the costs of goods on sale in the UK and costs to businesses, but they also want us to pay billions for the privilege.
NO.

The full deposition from Dominic Cummings to the
Lords on how Britain is really governed is on Youtube. It is compelling listening, for anyone interested in such matters (and, in fact, all citizens who take their vote seriously). 45% of GDP passes through the hands of government. It has to work properly. And it doesn’t.

Thames Water is borrowing £2.4bn at 10% interest so it can keep funding dividends, even though bosses know it won't be able to repay the money when the company goes tits up. This is corrupt and the government should make it clear that taxpayers won't pick up the tab.

Ejection from a Su-25 through the eyes of a pilot.
This is probably the first time in history that such footage of an ejection has been filmed in combat conditions, and at an extremely low altitude.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is 2022 footage of a Russian Su-25 hitting a power line during a training flight near Belgorod, Russia, not combat. Released October 2022 by Fighterbomber.

This Labour Government has got its priorities dangerously wrong. While welfare spending rockets out of control, they are cutting £2 BILLION from the Army's frontline equipment. An absolute disgrace.
telegraph.co.uk/politics/202…
At a time when the threats to Britain are greater than they have been for decades, Labour is stripping away vital military capability.
The first duty of any government is the defence of the nation. Yet Labour refuses to get a grip on runaway spending while finding cuts to our Armed Forces. What sort of government thinks that is acceptable?
This is a government that has lost control of spending and is now putting Britain's security at risk. Our Armed Forces deserve far better than this dangerously incompetent Labour Government.

Annual energy bills across Europe:
Austria: £480
Belgium: £535
France: £495
Germany: £565
Israel: £610
Norway: £475
Poland: £165
Spain: £510
United Kingdom: £2,350
UK is paying nearly 5 times what some of these countries pay.
And we’re told this is progress.
Net Stupid Zero strikes again.

In the same week Labour cuts £2bn from the Army, it finds the money to lift the two-child cap on childcare benefits. £2bn including the vehicles meant to recover our armoured vehicles when they're hit. That tells you who this government thinks it works for.
Defending the nation is the Government's first responsibility.
