On The Money: Diesel drivers are paying £7 too much per tank – suggests RAC Fuel Watch
‘Diesel really is the fuel of commerce… so those higher costs are always in the end passed on to consumers. This is a major source of inflation.’

Suella Braverman ATTACKS “two-tier education system” as Reform UK outline apprenticeship plan
Reform UK has announced its education plans, as Suella Braverman attacked the existing “two-tier” system.
The party has announced a new Apprenticeship Wage Credit, offering SMEs a 30 per cent rebate on the wages of apprentices they take on who are aged 16-18.
Reform claims this would save the average SME more than £4,000 per year per apprentice, or over £8,000 across the lifetime of an apprenticeship.
Speaking at a press conference in London, Ms. Braverman said: “Today the British families who made our country great are the most disadvantaged in society. White British children are now the most likely group to not even enter GCSE exams. White working class boys are the group with the worst educational outcomes. This two-tier system of unfairness running throughout our educational system is deeply unfair and a grotesque waste of human talent.”

Beat the system with TallyMoney. Gold you can spend. Discover more here:
https://click.tallymoney.com/A64P/d1028opp #ad
Political Editor Christopher Hope details rumours of an early general election, as the Conservative Party reshuffles its Shadow Cabinet and Andy Burnham ramps up ‘bellicose’ language towards Israel.
As part of the Trory ‘bloodbath’ Priti Patel has quit Kemi Badenoch’s shadow cabinet and Tom Tugendhat has been named as her successor.
Dame Priti will take on a new senior party role leading the Conservatives’ international engagement and relations.
Mr Tugendhat, a former soldier and security minister, has been a backbencher in the Tories since he challenged for party leadership in 2024.

‘If it offends you then LEAVE!’ | Alex Armstrong in SHOCK as Birmingham council BANS English flags
“If our flag offends you, then leave!” Alex Armstrong reacts with disbelief to Birmingham City Council’s attempts to restrict the display of the St George’s Cross near roads. The debate has sparked fierce arguments over national identity, pride and whether councils should have the power to decide when and where England’s flag can be displayed.
“It is an attack on our pride.” Alex Armstrong gives his reaction to the controversy, arguing that the St George’s Cross is an important symbol of English identity. The row has raised wider questions about patriotism, free expression and whether Britain’s traditional symbols are increasingly being treated as controversial.
Former Labour Minister Bill Rammell also weighs in, criticising Birmingham City Council and arguing that the council is wrong to attempt to restrict flags being displayed across Britain’s second-largest city.

A governing body will be a waste of time. Look at electricity and gas prices the eu are paying half what we are while we restore the companies profits that they lost due to incompetent management. These utilities are French owned and we should not be paying extra to cover their mistakes in buying fuel

You know its a money grab they put the price up to reflect the saving you make having a diesel car. Not having some sort of anti profiteering system in this country is the problem like the useless OFGEM

It is a disgusting fact that during these times of artificially induced inflation – it's deliberate !! most suppliers jump on the profiteering bandwagon ! It's no wonder we are called rip off Britain. I don't know about you, but I have been developing a long memory, and the people who have blatantly ripped us off will be remembered. The people of this country are being shafted, and it can only be happening with the complicity of the establishment.

@ivorgotten2368
January 25, 2024 at 9:57 am
The issue with high fuel prices is not so much the worldwide price of crude per barrel, but the refining. We now only have 7 refineries in the UK, (in 1973 we had 23 and 7 planned), all now foriegn owned in whole or part. Before the invasion of Ukraine, the charge from these refineries to refine a litre of fuel was 6p per litre or less, today that refining price is close to 30p per litre, a 5x increase. Then you have the fuel duty TAX and the VAT TAX on top of that, and Hey presto!!!
@philipwhiteman6134
January 25, 2024 at 9:57 am
easy to look at oil has been under $90 per barrel for over ten months now we are being shafted nothing else 30 p a liter over priced

@ivorgotten2368
January 25, 2024 at 9:57 am
The "Fuel Price Escalator" was intoduced in 1993 by the Tory John Major government. The policy meant that duty on fuel would rise by 3% above inflation every year until such time that they could abolish "Road Tax" or "Vehicle Excise Duty" without the need to increase the price of fuel to compensate for the loss of revenue from the abolition of said duty. The incoming Blair government of 1997 then reneged on that commitment and we now have high fuel duty, and we've still got VED at ever increasing annual cost to the public.

The government want to do away with diesel and petrol cars and everyone to go to electric, knowing that most people won’t be able to afford an electric vehicle. Which means there will be less cars on the road and only the rich will be able to drive and the rest will have to walk, push bike or get public transport. All part of their plan to control us.
@middleground5084

We should ask for a public enquiry, and have it raised in parliament, or better still scuff a diesel car Manuel and get the police to report it as a hate incident 🤔
@williammclean3870
January 25, 2024 at 9:57 am
The question I have which is also important Liam, is that we pay tax on each litre of fuel we buy. but I believe we also have to pay VAT on the final figure as well, or am I incorrect?

The price of diesel is a total disgrace. The supermarkets are ripping us off. An example. Locally I can buy diesel for as little as £1.59 per litre from a small garage but it’s still £1.72 from Tesco. Why? You can’t tell me they haven’t the buying power. Makes me sick 🤮

Basket With Holes 😂
It shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:
Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field.
Deuteronomy 28:17 Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store.
The consequence of not following the warnings from upstairs. Inflation. Snake bites. Loan sharks. Ecclesiastes 10:11 Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better. This word bite is a primitive root; to strike with a sting (as a serpent); figuratively to oppress with interest on a loan.
Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light.
(The seventh day is His rest. The Millennium. We are on our own.)
Amo 5:19 As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
(Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Traducers infestation.)
Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?
(Not until we start to initiate Revelation 20. Know how to lay hold on the dragon, that old serpent? Learn from Moses in Exodus 4:4. What’s tail? Isaiah 9:15. )
