Mr Hunt did not mention this ,however, Office for Budget Responsibility reporting fuel duty is set to rise first time in cash terms since 2011 by 23% next March. That's around 12p a litre.

Ahh that'll be fine, the price at the pumps has been pretty cheap for a while now so 12 more pence can't hurt...

Imagine what it does to a loaf of bread or a bottle of milk or a half dozen eggs... remember at the beginning of the year when there was a truck driver crisis? what's important about the timing? this bunch will have a better idea for which way the wind is blowing...

Bird flu + lost revenues + increased wages + increased feed and fuel prices + increased supermarket share = they'll have to be the cheaper Faberge egg sarnies...

Never knew Brexit was responsible for the war in Ukraine, and the spiralling world oil prices.

Enlighten me...

Yeah, it’s just them two things alone, over the past 12 years that have led us to this point. Tory.

Just ignore the Remoaners mate. Best thing I have found is to laugh at them from behind my screen.

I have heard from several friends living in the UK that Brexit has been absolutely fantastic so far and they are enjoying such tangible benefits as being able to make their own choices, stand on their own two feet, forge their own path, dance to their own tune and create their own future. It sounds awesome

Thanks for the irony. But I cannot make the connection between Brexit and Putin piling into the Ukraine.

I would welcome anyone squaring that particular circle...

Dont think anyone did say it was.

Post #18,856: '...Love how they never, ever, mention brexit as being responsible for this absolute [Poor language removed] show we find ourself in...'

I replied with the war in Ukraine and spiralling oil prices, not making the connection with Brexit.

One can also throw in those two gobeens, Truss & Kwarteng, for good measure with their budget for what we find ourselves in now...

If you could link the post that did, that would be a start.

The Tories are basically low growth, high tax, bad services.

Enough is enough.

As I said yesterday. High tax, low growth, bad services.

They exist to enrich themselves and their mates, off the back of hard working people.
