Fuel Price Fury, Inflation Surge, Mandelson Files & Migration Crime Row
Mark Dolan sits in for Ian Collins. Fuel prices, inflation and political controversy is Britain heading for another economic squeeze? As the Iran war drives up global energy costs, critics accuse Rachel Reeves of acting as a “petrol profiteer”, with warnings the UK could be hit harder than any other major economy. Maurice Cousins from Net Zero Watch, Sir Michael Fabricant, and Annunziata Rees-Mogg debate the impact of Net Zero, fuel duty and soaring inflation on British households. We also examine the latest Westminster developments, including reports Keir Starmer could award a peerage to Sadiq Khan, alongside fresh questions over government transparency following the Peter Mandelson files and disputes surrounding internal communications. And we discuss a shocking criminal case involving an Afghan asylum seeker, raising further questions about immigration policy, border control and public safety as pressure grows on the government to toughen its approach.
