The rise in fuel duty is to combat Climate Change. Without this rise in fuel duty, the world faces complete and total destruction. I'm saving the world on so many fronts.

You’ve been wearing your underpants on the outside again Flash haven’t you. It’s not cool and it just looks silly if you haven’t got the body of an olympic polevaulter.

Less people working. less demand on power plants. Less damage done to the environment. Job done. Damn Gordo you are brilliant.

WRONG

Working in the industry - demand is at least 10% down on an average year - cannot all be weather related.

All those car plants idle - domestic use is the same eh?
