According to the Beeb:
Thirteen European countries have reduced fuel duty. - eleven have reduced it by more than the British government.
Some text from the report, bear in mind the UK reduction was 5p per litre:

Germany had taken the equivalent of 25p a litre in tax off per litre of petrol, Italy 21p, Portugal 16p, and both Ireland and the Netherlands had cut duty by nearly 15p.
Other governments have introduced fuel discounts that take effect when motorists are paying at forecourt tills, with Spain cutting prices by about 17p a litre and France 15p.

This time last week I was paying the equivalent of £1.54 a litre for diesel.
Today in Macclesfield aforecourt display changed in front of my eyes to £1.99.

So as part of the levelling up fiasco, and to hide cash for ermine scandal, a PR guru is driving the inclusion of some high profile / celebrity / showbiz "northern" honours to counterbalance the southern toffs perception.

Any guesses?
Lord Pisscan of Govan perhaps?

Nah. It'll be Sir Beefy of Botham. Possibly Sir Geoff of Boycott, Special Appointment For Women's Issues.

Any others from the fringes of the "gammon tribe"?

Sir Eric Clapton. Very eloquent on politics, is our Eric.

Sir Mick Hucknall. Sir Robbie Williams.

Guideline; Anyone white and crushingly mediocre, who we generally moved on from 20 years ago.

It's highly unlikely to be the first - they've already made him a Lord.
And Boycott is already a Sir.

If he gives anything to Yorkshire cricket, it would be astonishing given recent events. So Sir Darren And Sir Michael it is then.

Oh, look, the Tories left loopholes for certain foreign rich types to hide money.

Oligarch’s are us!

If yesterday’s BofE predictions are correct, then the country will likely be in recession now for the duration of this Parliament and any recovery would only come in 2025 and be glacial.

Getting harder still to imagine another Conservative victory.

Kwarteng with his revisionism, and he actually believes what he’s saying.

Asked about where is the Chancellor, he bumbles and then fails to answer.
