Last week he called Brexit a “complete disaster” and a “bunch of total lies”. Now he will defend it for crumbs from the political table (peerage).

SPOT ON !

Michael Bradshaw, global energy professor at Warwick Business School, said the “lack of storage capacity in the UK exposes customers to security of supply risks next winter”.

“This leaves the UK dependent on having to attract LNG cargoes during winter months when prices tend to be high and competition is greater; a situation exacerbated by the lack of firm long-term contracts that would guarantee deliveries to UK terminals.”

Centrica said in October that the UK’s nine days of gas storage was far behind Germany at 89 days, France at 103 days and the Netherlands at 123 days.

LOOKS LIKE HIGH GAS/ELECTRICITY PRICES FOR NEXT WINTER THEN

The Queen died of cringe when she met Truss.

Truss: I was brought down by the left-wing economic establishment

Reality:

Liz Truss: an utterly dismal prime minister. Insanely arrogant. Dangerously ideological. Wildly irresponsible. And startlingly delusional.
And now the tragic Torygraph prints her 4000 word whingefest about what’s to blame for her failure. Apparently, it’s not her.

Shot down over the sea so unable to find conclusive evidence to prove it was a spy balloon.
Typical dumb Yanks....

Best Dominic Raab story heard today. He shouts at a BBC receptionist "get me a f**king car!" to which the amazing woman responded with "get it yourself you Tory c**t"
lo!!

The price of gold continued to fall on Friday, reaching its lowest point in a bit over three weeks following the release of the United States non-farm payrolls. The strong figures showed the labor market still remains resilient despite a tight monetary policy.
This possibly rekindled fears that the Federal Reserve, which raised its interest rate by a quarter of a percentage point earlier, might have to push the terminal rate further into the restrictive territory, sending the dollar to rise and gold the opposite way.
Gold plunged 2.02% to go for $1,874.25 per ounce at 10:13 am ET. Silver nosedived 3.5%, the lowest since December 2022, selling at $22.65 per ounce simultaneously. Platinum tumbled 3.09% to sell for $994.36 per ounce at 10:14 am ET. Palladium slid 1.59% to $1,615.55 per ounce concurrently.
