Our chickens coming home to roost. Stupid decision by stupid politicians and it’s our fault because we were stupid enough to vote them in.

We have been so let down by our politicians in the last 30yrs, it's a disgrace what they have done to this country,  it's truly sad where we are today 😢

The UK is not heading for a recession its heading for a depression 😢

If he keeps the surplus 1.8 millions barrels a day and floods his market with it, Americans will get cheaper fuel. Good for them. It's a shame the Tories didn't exploit the North Sea, support Rock hopper in the Falklands , or exploit the 151 billion barrels under British Antrctica that would have made us the biggest oil exporter in the world. Instead, the dunderheads were net zero fanatics who restricted drilling licenses, windfall taxed North Sea, and did nothing with Falklands or Weddell Sea oil. How many businesses have already gone to the wall and families gone under. We could have created the biggest sovereign wealth fund in the world.......but No, they blew it.
I wish we had a government that put us first as Trump probably will in the US.

We are governed by fools and incompetents.

We have ALL the energy we need under our feet and under the North Sea. OUR OWN PARLIAMENT is to blame for our extortionate fuel costs.

But the UK closing down our refining of diesel in the multi party net zero rush to virtue signal has saved the planet - at the cost of being able to feed ourselves - brilliant well done our grown up politicians.

So, basically, the UK shot itself in the foot.  Well done, lads.

Brilliant conversation…what a pity our MSM can’t produce this type of intelligent analysis…thanks to both

Without cheap abundant Energy Britain will Never be Prosperous again. Simple. And Britain has Plenty of it but..... Ideologues, who happen to be in charge (at the moment) would rather we revert back to the Stone Age....as long as it makes THEM feel, 'Righteous and Green'.

The UK is in a race to the bottom on its own.

More fool us. Our survival is wholly dependent on other economies to be our friends. What a strategy!! And it’s not just diesel; food, energy, steel….

Trump is being used as a scape goat.. Its not his fault the UK have closed down 14 of its 18 operational refineries since the 70's, leaving only 4 left open.. It isn't just the refineries being closed that is the problem, its the emergency storage that went with them. We did this to ourselves.. an island nation that isn't self sufficient will eventually lead to a disaster...

Over 50% of our food is now imported, shipped with diesel and distributed with diesel.

Another mess created by politicians

Brexit, Trump. These are not the problem. Is our leadership since 1997. We have no industry, no energy, no self sufficiency, no growth, no leadership.

Liam Halligan the most knowledgable economist in this country.

He explains everything so clearly and brilliantly to the average Joe.

He is a credit to your show Mr Neil we need at least a monthly slot, i really enjoy his interviews

Remember last time when Trump was in office, he told the EU not to stop drilling or they would be getting their oil from Russia.  The camera panned over to the Germans and they were all laughing at him. Well look at Europe now. I wish the media would re broadcast that speech. Love him or hate him I think the US is in better shape than Europe.

Two UK refineries closed in August 2025 due to the mad net zero terrorits implementaion of draconian costs on the refineries.
The UK oil refineries are closing primarily due to high domestic carbon and energy costs under the UK Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS)

Meloni is one of the reasons Britain’s wealthiest are fleeing to Italy. We once had a leader like her Margaret Thatcher. We now have a far left weak unelected socialist leader who’s taking us back to the bad old days.
