At some point even the diehard voters declaring for Tories must grow tired of Brexit lies too, surely?

Why would the far right faction that's taken over the Conservative Party be so keen on subsidising oil and gas consumption? Unless of course they're dependent on financial contributions from the fossil fuel industry | Andy Brown
