I love when groups try to attack the government for something but just end up making them look better.
Guess you don’t want anything inflammatory when it comes to petrol!!!!
‘No profiteering’
‘WELL FUCK THAT NOISE!!’
Looks good, nice one.
Dear god how childish. Just an excuse to dodge a meeting where they will be told they can’t do what they want at the expense of the British public ffs
Asda and Tesco petrol prices have shot up to around 137p a litre where I live. Places like Esso and Texaco are up past 140p. This is up from about 131p average a few weeks back before Trump fucked up the Middle East.
The meeting is back on, probably because they realised it made them look petulant.

When about 70p a ltr is tax and they where about to dump another 5p on
I’d have a hard time talking about me profiteering if I was them to.
Making them walk out or giving them an excuse to is bad management what ever way you slice it.
But I suppose they tried unlike in the Russia crisis when they used tax payers money to pay the suppliers which in turn made record profits.
Dammed if you do comes to mind
I mean, it’s just a cover because they are absolutely profiteering already. Most supermarket petrol stations buy in fuel two weeks in advance, at least. The moment the war started prices were up everywhere. They just are hoping to dodge any kind of accountability. The only ones who can be excused are local independents who will not have good deals, and buy on a daily basis.
So the “Inflammatory language” used was accusing petrol retailers of ripping off consumers after them jacking up the prices for fuel that they would have paid for months a go at a much lower cost. And them pulling out of the meeting is because their demands of no media coverage wasn’t met so that they could “explain” how it all works in private. Yeah get fucked.
EDIT: Oh they’ve changed their minds and are back in again….
Ok. Then we’ll see them in front of a select committee where lying could get you locked up.
> A meeting between petrol retailers and the chancellor is back on, less than an hour after the retailers announced they were pulling out, Sky News understands.
Didn’t think I would ever say this about current Labour but good on them for at the very least standing up to these companies with their words
Up like a rocket down like a feather. Pure profiteering.
Go on Rachel tell those wankers to fuck off. This is what I voted Labour for.
Reading the Sky News headline and you’d think that Rachel Reeves was threatening to have them beaten up, or something.
What, dear Ms Reeves upsetting anyone – who would have thought that?
The same retailers that raised prices when the government was cutting fuel duty, pocketing the difference…. I’d have some inflammatory language for them, too.
News is out of date now:
A meeting between petrol retailers and the chancellor is back on, less than an hour after the retailers announced they were pulling out, Sky News understands.
The fact the government is getting criticism for this really is a perfect demonstration of how hostile the media have become to this government. How anyone can see it as a bad thing government want to question petrol retailers about profiteering is nuts.
The reaction to this must be to roll out renewables, storage, sensible EVs and recharging networks at even greater pace than now.
If they have to raise prices then whatever. It’s the slow gradual lowering of them after things ease that upsets me as that’s profiteering.
