Thats because we give subsidies to oil and gas companies aka tax breaks. EG in 2019, the UK received $1.72 in taxes for each barrel of oil, while at the same time and under the same conditions, Norway received $21.35 per barrel of oil.

Average earnings in UK no higher than they were almost 2 decades ago, longest period of wage stagnation since the Napoleonic wars. Real average earnings at same level as they were in 2005, when weekly pay stood at £497 — same as April 2023.

This is what they are doing now to Kharkiv - a city that they totally believed was part of the "Russian world". What will they do to the OTHERS??

This government's #PolicingBill would give the police the power to stop and search anyone attending a protest. While he parties at Downing Street, Boris Johnson is turning this country into an authoritarian state. #KillTheBill #PCSCBill

Opinion: While ordinary people in the UK were being fined for breaking lockdown rules, Boris Johnson's own staff were partying behind closed doors, reinforcing the view that for this government the only question that counts is 'can we get away with it?' on.ft.com/3m7PZ4X

Carelessness and contempt are at the root of every Boris Johnson crisis

Internal probe of Downing Street party is less dangerous to PM than his MPs believing voters have turned on him
