Having 1 plant being responsible for over 1/2 the needs of a country is never a good idea; a bit like relying on China.

Mick - you might want to fill your oil tank

How dare Labour honour Doris's pledge! Why was there not an outcry when he made it?

Blue,

Why was the Torygraph not upset when the Conservatives were doing the first 11 rounds of negotiations after Boris got Liz Truss to start discussions?

As foreign secretary, Liz Truss was directed by then-Prime Minister Boris Johnson to explore the possibility of negotiations, reportedly under US pressure.
