Now is the time to watch for price gouging. It normally happens when prices drop after a peak not rise.
Crude oil is today $73, from highs of $110. Immediately pre-war it was $67 but more normally around $60. So its not quite back to where it was yet. However that means we should've seen (as many have) petrol and diesel dropping, and govt should check its dropping enough.
London's eighth annual Climate Action Week, which is happening now, is a festival of intransigence on an island of hypocrisy in a sea of political chaos, says Ben Pile in the Climate Skeptic. Green billionaires are flexing their muscles. https://t.co/hWiyOU4su3
Fairfueluk Campaign calls on the Government to implement a PumpWatch with teeth. With the Straits of Hormuz opening and an Iran deal on the cards, oil prices have fallen by 11% in just 4 days, yet pump prices have fallen at a snail's pace, by just 1%, even though wholesale costs have dropped significantly. The fuel supply chain is again holding back on passing on wholesale price cuts to drivers.
The Government has collected over £750 million in additional VAT since the start of the Iran Conflict, whilst drivers have had to pay an extra £4 billion to fill up. Over 40 countries have helped their motorists with fiscal measures to ease the pain of rocketing pump prices. Rachel Reeves did nothing and continues to allow opportunistic profiteering in the fuel supply chain. Her amoebic approach to any sensible economic growth strategy, which should put the motorist at the heart of boosting the economy, continues at her usual ignorant pace.

With CO2 greening the planet, any possible harms are outweighed by the benefits of more trees and crops, writes @mattwridley in the Climate Skeptic. (Not behind a paywall.) https://t.co/wBE5o4AUcb
🚨 Today marks the official release of the Rape Gang Inquiry. This has been one of the most harrowing and heartbreaking experiences of my life, but I believe it was truly necessary. I am deeply grateful to all the courageous survivors and parents who have shared their stories and supported this process. My heartfelt thanks to @officialsammyuk for being my rock and to @RupertLowe10 for his incredible bravery in initiating this report. I also want to extend my sincere appreciation to @Lewis_Brackpool, @cfdownes_, @Harry_pitt, @JoshFerme, and @natenderby for their hard work and massive support in making this happen.
We now know Dr. Fauci had deep ties to the intelligence community that predate the COVID pandemic. Think about what that means. When the question of whether this virus came from a lab first arose, one man was positioned to shape the answer across science, intelligence, and public opinion.
He steered the narrative away from the lab leak theory because he knew the NIH was funding gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
According to its published payments, Buckinghamshire Council spent £39.9m on ‘Transport’ in 2025.
The top paid supplier was ‘Neale’s Taxis Ltd’, who received £5.78million over 3,215 transactions.
🚨 BRITISH SPY UNIT ACCUSED OF MANIPULATING THE PUBLIC
If these allegations are true, this could become one of the biggest scandals in modern British history.
A secretive government unit known as RICU has been accused of shaping narratives, influencing public perception and managing how Britons respond to major national events.
To be clear, these are allegations.
But if proven true, they raise a chilling question:
Was the government simply informing the public...
Or attempting to influence how the public thinks?
Trust in institutions is already collapsing.
If people conclude that government agencies were managing public opinion rather than providing facts, the consequences could be enormous.
Because this isn't just about politics.
It's about whether the state crossed a line that should never be crossed.
