Better start saving for next winters fuel bills

Today petrol has jumped by 2p a litre on the forecourt, gas has almost doubled in price so we can expect a deepening of the cost of living crisis. Thank you very much to Donal Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu....not.

Ok nobody I know liked the regime in Iran, but just blowing them up was never going to work, did it not occur to them that the Iranians would fight back? The clerical regime in Iran is just as entrenched as the Catholic Church, you wouldn't expect to blow up the pope and St Peters in Rome and have no one to take over. I'm sure the Iranian regime has just as much structure and fall backs as the Catholic Church does. Now we all seem to be getting dragged in, I'm really pleased Starmer said NO to Trump using our bases, there's no legal basis for this war and I suspect that as ever America just wants us along to help with the death toll, it's about time a British PM didn't follow the US blindly into its foreign wars.

Whats even worse, is that from everything they keep saying, they don't even know why they went to war in the first place and as ever theres no plan for what ahppens when the war ends.

    Whelp, buckle your seatbelts friends, cause this is going to be a long, bumpy ride.

  • There seem to be conflicting accounts of what Trump has been saying, he seems to be saying different things to different people. I don't know whether this is war planing according to what gets the most press attention or if there is an actual plan?

    One of the benficiaries of all this chaos seems likely to be Russia as Trump is "allowing" some sanctions to be lifted on Russian oil and gas.

    First, who the hell does he think he is to allow the rest of the world to buy stuff.

    Secondly, will the rest of the world take any notice of him?

    Thirdly is this a plan to rehabilitate Putin as some kind of saviour by "allowing" us to buy oil and gas?

    Fourthly what of Ukraine, if Russia is allowed to earn more money from oil and gas then it funds his war against Ukraine.
