Use the Baby Oil Mr Brown

Gordon Brown has been told to cut fuel taxes by the head of the OPEC group of oil-producing nations, amid a row over who is to blame for high petrol prices in Britain. (Telegraph)



Abdullah al-Badri, the Secretary-General of Opec, accused Mr Brown of being "confused" about energy policy after the Prime Minister warned that prices would rise again unless oil states invested more in their production.

Mr al-Badri said it was Mr Brown who had pushed up British petrol prices by putting too much tax on fuel.
