The Tories oversaw the degradation of UK gas storage capacity - 2010 to 2017.

Thatcher privatised the gas and oil industry - 1982 to 1986.

Thatcher closed the collieries - 1986 to 1991.

This woman is an idiot - 1960 to 2026

A man in a fawn coat is pressed up against the glass, peering into the smoke. The glass of the tank is stylishly frosted with the 500 Year Diary logo.
