'Putin using energy as a weapon,' minister says



Speaking to Sky’s Sophy Ridge on Sunday, Conservative Party chairman Nadhim Zahawi said that Vladimir Putin was using energy as a “weapon” because he was “failing badly” in the war in Ukraine.

He said: “Energy use by Putin means we’ve had very high inflation rates and we’ve got to try and bring down inflation.”

  4. Rubbish… I used to respect this man… now he is clearly a spinner or deep untruth around who is to blame. The blame is the arrogant, indefensible position taken by the UK in its support of the Ukraine. The Ukraine is a proxy for the global ambitions of the US/UK to run the world according to their world view – which is arrogant in the extreme!

  5. The only people using energy as a weapon are Zahawi and his mob . They imposed the energy sanctions and they are the ones who insisted on an unworkable price cap .Dishonesty and western politicians go so well together aided and abetted by the crony MSM .Russia has not refused to sell us anything it is the west's sanctions .Do have to wonder how stupid they assume we all are .

  6. As a Scottish nationalist, the phrase "Now is not the time" has a strangely familiar ring to it.
    Apparently we are all in this together except that they get to heat their horses, swimming pools and the West wing of their houses at our expense.
    We get to eat beans from a tin in the dark!
    Back to the 1800s and workhouses.
