THE WAR ON THE GREY TANKER FLEET IS A SUBTLE ONE
Russia has access to some 500 tankers, around 200 it owns directly while the rest are leased from various owners around the world who are happy to have Russian captains, multi-national crews and shabby old ships.
Most of these tankers

pumped oil with nowhere to go. The entire industry is clogging up and income is collapsing at an unprecedented rate. Estimates this month are a 35% drop in sales. Discounts on oil are now as low as $40 per barrel if you can risk a pick up. But there’s nothing wrong, nothings going on, honest!

Q: Any reaction on the fine that was imposed on X by the EU?

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”

What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”

Funny how that works.

If anyone in Wales or Scotland receives post from Reform with a self addressed envelope, pop a few bits of slate in it and post it back. ££££££££.

The best way to demolish reform is to remind everyone what the Farage has bought us: Brexit busting Britain, lies, corruption, greed, and meanness. Is this a country you want to have like this?

We are now at the stage where all those who knew him in the past have warned us that Nigel Farage is unfit to be PM. About the same stage as when those who knew him in the past warned us that Boris Johnson was unfit to be PM.

Tesla bucking the trend

Probably because they all smell a bit Musky
The headline is about Tesla, but the more important data point is:

“Germany saw EV registrations jump nearly 60% in November, with more than 55,000 new electric cars hitting the road. ”

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

“Farage has suggested that it’s inconceivable that anyone could recall such events of more than four decades ago. I would simply ask: can a victim of such abuse ever forget?…I recognise his walk every time I see it on TV as that same walk that used to approach me”

I’ll never forget the look of hatred Nigel Farage had for me at school, simply for existing
The Reform UK leader doubts people can recall their abuse from years ago. I’ve never forgotten his – it felt malicious

“In 2017 there was not a single asylum seeker who arrived on a boat. Today we have 46,000 a year and do you know why? It was because of the botched Brexit deal pushed through by Boris Johnson and championed by Nigel Farage. Nigel Farage should be here apologising”

Farage is making me think. I mean, can we be absolutely sure Hitler meant it in a hurtful way? Maybe he was just misunderstood and his lackeys took it too far, assuming he was a racist, antisemitic arsehole but actually it was all just for bants because of a comic he read as a boy.

Reform UK are raising Council Tax across the country. They claim they didn’t formally pledge to reduce it.

The graphic attached shows exactly what they campaigned on during the Local Elections.
