Come on board for a sail first Mr Greer, so you know what you’re taxing.
Here’s my biggest yacht. No beds or galley, so bring that wetsuit you're fond of wearing. Not even a loo, so be prepared to “bucket and chuck it"!

The IMF just ranked Britain the worst performing major economy on the planet.
Not a war torn nation.
Not a failed state.
Britain.
Twenty five years of open borders, net zero ideology, DEI over defence and spending money we do not have.
They did this to us.
Not Putin. Not Trump. Not global headwinds.
The people we elected.
Every single one of them.

I want to talk about the scale of what’s coming for the UK over the next three months. Because I don’t think many people have joined the dots yet.
The Strait of Hormuz has been effectively closed for over five weeks. Before this war, 135 ships passed through it every day. Now it’s 5 to 7. Over 600 vessels are still stranded. Iran has mined the strait, is charging tolls, and controlling who passes. The CEO of Abu Dhabi’s national oil company said it this week: “The Strait of Hormuz is not open. Access is being restricted, conditioned and controlled. That is coercion.”
Two thirds of Gulf crude has no alternative route. 14 million barrels a day behind a 21-mile chokepoint.
Energy bills are forecast to jump 20% in July. From £1,641 to nearly £2,000. The second major energy shock in four years. Petrol up over 15%. Diesel up nearly 30%. Wholesale gas rose 75% in under four weeks.
Food inflation could hit 8% by June and 9% by December. Academics advising DEFRA say it could reach 12%. UK food prices are already 38% higher than before Covid. We’re only 62% self-sufficient in food. We import 60% of our nitrogen fertiliser. Red diesel for farming has surged 60%. Average arable farm income has fallen to £17,000, the lowest in over 20 years.
Yesterday, China announced it’s halting all sulphuric acid exports from May. Sulphuric acid is essential for phosphate fertilisers, copper mining, oil refining, and battery manufacturing. A third of the world’s sulphur was already blocked by the Hormuz closure. Now the world’s largest exporter has pulled the other lever at the same time. The fertiliser crisis just got significantly worse, heading straight into planting season.
Before the war, markets expected rate cuts. Now they’ve priced in two rate rises. Over 1,500 mortgage products have been pulled. Two year fixes have jumped from 4.8% to 5.5%. Nearly £1,000 a year extra on a £200k mortgage. Gone in weeks.
Flights are next. A quarter of UK jet fuel comes from Kuwait, behind the strait. In early April, major carriers said they had five to six weeks of reserves. That clock is running. Ryanair’s CEO has warned 5-10% of summer flights could be cancelled.
Iran’s strike on Qatar’s Ras Laffan LNG complex, which handles 30% of the world’s helium, is estimated to take 3 to 5 years to repair. Helium is critical for semiconductors and MRI machines. That’s not a disruption. That’s structural damage.
Chemical and steel manufacturers are imposing surcharges of up to 30%. Analysts are warning of permanent deindustrialisation. European gas storage was at just 30% after a harsh winter. If the strait stays restricted through summer, Europe can’t refill for next winter.
In Ireland, fuel protests shut down Dublin for four days. The army was deployed. Over 100 fuel stations ran dry, with warnings of 500 by end of the week. Downing Street has held talks on the potential for mass protests here.
The OECD has downgraded the UK more than any other G7 nation. Growth slashed from 1.2% to 0.7%. Inflation forecast nearly doubled to 4%, with some saying it could breach 5%.
Starmer and Trump spoke this week about military options to reopen the strait. The UK is leading a 30+ nation coalition. But the ceasefire is already fracturing. Iran re-closed the strait over Israeli strikes on Lebanon. Reeves is boxed in by fiscal rules. Higher gilt yields are eating her headroom. And I haven’t heard a credible plan from anyone in Westminster.
Energy. Food. Fertiliser. Aviation fuel. Mortgages. Industrial chemicals. Semiconductors. Shipping. Government borrowing. Political stability. All under stress. All compounding.
This country imports 44% of its energy. Has almost no gas storage. Imports most of its food and fertiliser. Gets a quarter of its jet fuel from behind a mined strait.
Every structural weakness built up over 20 years is being stress tested at once.
The next three months aren’t going to be uncomfortable. They’re going to be defining

Shame on every single one of them, in particular the Aberdeen ones.
I am embarrassed that Kirsty Blackman is my MP

Today at Westminster, no SNP MPs voted to approve drilling in the Rosebank and Jackdaw oil fields in the North Sea. Let that sink in.

Not one SNP MP voted to open up new oil and gas drilling in the North Sea today.
Not One.

The Iran "war" is Covid 2.0
Iran is already under the control of the globalists.
The "war" is the pretext to enact the major changes they need to implement Agenda 2030.
Destroy oil, push electric cars, and "renewable" energy.
Add in financial crisis and bingo CBDC, UBI, trackable programmable money.
Add in energy lockdowns, 15min cities etc etc
The Iran "war" is Covid 2.0
A massive psy op within a psy op.
