He plays Burnham's post on X from Thursday 8 October, in which Burnham says drivers can now see petrol and diesel prices on Google Maps and head for the cheapest nearby station.

  • Dooley also notes that the Starmer government announced the same tool back in March, with the claim that shopping around could save up to 40 pounds a year. He asks whether anyone should drive an extra 20 or 30 miles to save two or three pence a litre. He says it is easy to tell people to shop around from a privileged position. He accuses Burnham of serving the interests of the powerful over working people, and points to dealings with the owners of Manchester City, the Abu Dhabi United Group, over leases on sites around Manchester.
  • He closes by linking the story to Labour keeping a London seat, where he says turnout was of less than 40%. In his reading, that shows people have given up on the political establishment. He says one in five adults in Britain are in poverty, and that people in Britain and Ireland alike are being ripped off by oil companies, oligarchs and the political class. He calls the Google Maps announcement gaslighting from the British establishment.

Hello everyone

Hello everyone. We all know how detached the political establishment are from the lives of ordinary people. And this latest venture by Andy Burnham really takes the complete and utter biscuit in the context of a skyrocket in petrol and diesel prices in Britain where a liter of diesel costs about two pound and a liter of petrol is around 1.75p. Burnham has a solution. He has your back for the people of Britain. He went to X on Thursday, October the 8th to announce.

Something. This was it. I get it. You get to the pumps, watch the numbers climb, and wonder why it's costing so much more than it used to. The reality is that global events are piling up the costs and families are at home feeling the impacts. But I won't accept this and there has to be something I can do to help. That's why from today, Thursday, October the 8th, you'll be able to see petrol and diesel prices on Google Maps, and go to.

Nearby stations and find the cheapest option before you fill up. It's a small change, but there's a practical way to help people keep more money in their pockets. I'll keep it. Really, I hope you haven't fallen off your chair listening to what Andy Burnham's solution is for skyrocketing petrol and diesel costs. Andy Bernham's government pulls in about 47% of every liter of petrol and diesel. So, there is something he can do. Reduce his taxes. But will he do it? He won't.

Much the same as what Mihal Martin, Simon Harris, and the Larry Lackey independent government here in Ireland wouldn't do. They're pulling in record amounts of taxation on a liter of petrol. Remember here in Ireland too, Miho Martin brought forward legislation in the times of emergency under the Consumer Protection Act where he could offer a maximum charge for a liter of petrol or diesel. But he's refused to do it. Hasn't even been questioned on it by any of his friends in the media. And is.

That really surprising when you consider the phony war that's taken place between RTE and the Irish government currently around the 20 million euro in fun just a spokes people a propaganda arm of the corrupt Irish state. But even Burnham, if you consider him a selected prime minister, now claiming decentralization by having his own office in Manchester, he had his own dealings with the owners of Manchester United or Manchester City rather, the Abu Dhabi United Group, in.

Relation to offering over nine or 10 sites around

Relation to offering over nine or 10 sites around Manchester and giving them up to 999year leases and making massive windfalls for that corrupt organ. organization at the behest of um his masters rather than serving the interests of the ordinary working people of Manchester. Much the same as what he's trying to do across Britain now in imposing the globalist agenda on the people of Britain. But interesting as well because this was announced by Starmer previously back in March despite.

“But interesting as well because this was announced by Starmer previously back in March despite”

What he said about the tool being launched on Thursday, October the 8th where you could open Google Maps and you find the cheapest option to save money at the petrol pump. It was stated back in March by Sarm government that you could save up to 40 pounds per year by shopping around. Remember there was an Irish minister a few years ago that said people should shop around for cheaper deals. Yeah, it's easy to do when you're.

At that privileged end of the spectrum where you don't have to shop around because these don't impact those who are in the ivory towers of Lester House much the same as Whiteall and at the same time his own chancellor execker John Healey has said that he will find and he will help people find a better deal. This is a good way to find it. Of course, he would say that as well because he's no interest in representing.

Or serving the ordinary working people in Britain either because he's more interested in pushing forward the war agenda uh for his masters rather than pushing forward a welfare agenda for ordinary people who are struggling. So this is what's taking place in Britain. Absolute nonsense and more gaslighting in the extreme by the British establishment. really birds of a feather, aren't they, with the Irish government? Precisely the same in terms of what their agenda is. And they work.

Off the same playbook. Nothing they can do. They'll help. And go to Google Maps and you'll find the cheapest petrol station near you. Don't worry about driving the extra 20 or 30 miles to get two or three p off your liter of fuel. It's worth it because he has your back. And as he said in his own expost, he gets it. Well, I don't think he does, but don't fall for it. This comes actually at the same time when the.

Labour Party retained Kirst seat in the Hullburn and St. Pancress constituency in London. That's been a Labor seat since about 1983. But remember, less than 40% of the people turned out to vote. shows you people have had enough of the corrupt political establishment and have really given up hope on finding any sort of political solution through the current incumbents to offer the change that people so badly need where their needs are basically met across society not being ripped off by the oil.

Companies by the oligarchs by the corrupt political establishment

Companies by the oligarchs by the corrupt political establishment whether in Britain or here in Ireland too. This is a country as I said in Britain where one in five adults are in poverty. So many are unemployed and they've suffered as well from the mass immigration agenda also where the city of London to massive extent still calls the shots despite their removal from the European Union. So thanks so much for the support on my videos. Really appreciate it and thanks.

For sharing them as well. So in Dublin today longall talk to you all soon. Bye-bye.

Burnham's answer to soaring fuel prices is a Google Maps tool, Dooley says.

Dooley reacts to Andy Burnham's post on X announcing that petrol and diesel prices now show on Google Maps so drivers can find the cheapest station. He says the British state takes about 47% of every litre in tax and could cut it instead. He compares it to the Irish government, which he says has refused to use its legal power to cap fuel prices.
