No, unlike a recent Labour Election Candidate, I am not in Burkes.
The Inflation proof , Index linked Pensions are true (for the payroll vote, not for many others though). How else do you expect the Government to retain a constituency? - Turkeys never vote for Christmas. Read the Guardian Jobs page.
'Happily for me'? Doesnt much matter about me. I weep for the next generation though.
Anyhoo,
Gordon Brown is making yet more pleas to OPEC regarding price and today he meets with Oil Company Execs to see how the UK can produce more oil.
That is the calibre of the man in charge.
The calibre of the man in charge:
Gordon Brown and Alistair Darling are meeting oil industry chiefs today as pressure mounts over soaring fuel prices.
Writing in the Guardian ahead of the talks, the prime minister said there was no quick fix to the "third great oil shock".
He called on nations to unite to stabilise the price of the commodity, which has increased from $10 a barrel a decade ago to $135 today.
And he said that the UK will argue that a global strategy to tackle the impact of higher oil prices will be put at the top of the agenda at the next meeting of the G8 group of industrialised countries.
Brown will use this morning's meeting with energy chiefs in north-east Scotland to attempt to secure a higher output from the UK's declining North Sea oil fields.
Yes - he really said that:
