This is an absolutely huge jump in oil prices.

It's also why Europe needs to get off fossil fuels asap (beyond climate change impact). We can't be beholden to this.

Westminster is based on empty rhetoric.

And Scotland produces enough green electricity to power every Scottish home twice annually.
Yet we pay the highest prices in the UK.

I wonder if a drone has hit Dubai Marina. Or whether it was just

If only loads of Dubai based accounts, including Isabel Oakeshott's, could tell me.

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say β€œSend me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.

How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

WAR CRIME BY THE US.

An unarmed Iranian ship was takIng part in an Indian naval exercise, alongside the US.

The US withdrew and torpedoed the Iranian ship.

THEN the US refused to rescue the sailors, letting them drown.

This is treachery, cowardice, cruelty and a war crime of the highest order.

For ex., Bezos earns $321 Million PER DAY. YES, per day. A 5% wealth tax would be $879K per day, leaving him $320M plus change. EVERY DAY.

Surely even Bezos can live on $320M daily. And remember, before Reagan’s trickle down hoax, Bezos would’ve been taxed at 70%. THIS should be a no-brainer.

UK government charter flight will take off from Oman 'in the coming days', says home secretary
A government charter flight will take off from Muscat, Oman, β€œin the coming days”, foreign secretary Yvette Cooper has told the Commons.

Cooper said that Britain was working with airlines on increasing capacity out of Muscat, Oman to prioritise the evacuation of vulnerable British nationals.

Cooper said she was in close contact with her counterparts in the Gulf countries, where 130,000 British citizens have now registered their presence in the region.

β€œWe are also working with airlines on increasing capacity out of Muscat for British nationals, with priority for vulnerable nationals,” Cooper said.

β€œA government charter fight will fly from Muscat in the coming days, prioritising vulnerable nationals, but British nationals in Oman must wait to be contacted by the Foreign Office regarding these options.β€œ

Will Yvette Cooper confirm that wealthy Brits who decamped to Middle East tax havens to dodge their patriotic obligation to pay their taxes won't get free flights?

Sir John Curtice: Which issues will decide the elections in Scotland and Wales? A poll carried out for the BBC examines the issues which will influence how people plan to vote on 7 May.

Bullshit agenda pushing from the BBC here. Those % look like two key issues to me in Scotland & Wales, not the third that they so much want to be an issue.
