Nigel Farage complained he couldn’t get petrol and sympathy was in even shorter supply

"Was this not the Brexit you voted for? Oddly, it was the one I voted against. Still, you won, get over it."

Have you struggled to get petrol and voted to leave the EU, did you feel any pang of guilt that the two could be related?

Well the chief Brexiteer himself, Nigel Farage, couldn’t get any petrol this morning and took to Twitter to have a moan, he also appears to have been crashed into by a van.

He wrote: “The government tell us that the fuel crisis is easing… I went to 7 petrol stations this morning and there was no fuel at any of them. Was then hit by a van whilst stationary at a roundabout. Great start to the day!”

The government tell us that the fuel crisis is easing…

I went to 7 petrol stations this morning and there was no fuel at any of them.

Was then hit by a van whilst stationary at a roundabout. Great start to the day!

It comes as Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab has suggested offenders who have been given community sentences could be used to address the country’s lack of HGV drivers amid continuing concerns about fuel shortages.

Panic buying sparked by concerns a lack of lorry drivers would prevent supplies reaching fuel pumps has brought long queues and pockets of aggression at petrol station forecourts over the last few days.

Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng has announced soldiers could be drafted in to drive tankers in the next couple of days to help alleviate the problem.

Reactions

Well the news Farage couldn’t get any fuel and crashed his car was met with a barrage of comments on-line.

I must’ve passed around 40 petrol stations in 3 EU countries a couple of days ago. Went shopping, too.

Guess what I saw… https://t.co/Hi0rpL2aek

Nigel. Can you provide the contact details of the van driver. I think we’d all like to pay for the damage to his van.

Maybe buy him a cake.

You should pop over to France, where I've relocated, Nige. No fuel crisis here or in the rest of the EU.

You'll then get a perspective on what we're all bemused about when we look at the pitiful decline of what was once, pre-Brexit, a nation of some distinction.

RIP UK.

Since you are here

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
