@AndrewBowie_MP @BevEmans Oil is cheaper than 2008 when diesel was 80p a litre less. 939 views · 14 likes · 1 reposts · 5 replies Open on X →

We are on the brink of a serious oil supply shock in Europe. We are sending RAF planes to support the Saudi’s re-secure shipping routes and pipelines. Diesel is about to cross $2 a litre.

So…let me get this right…today our Labour Government is (rightly) supporting the right of the Falkland Islands to exploit the vast natural resources off their coast, by a partly Israeli company.
