Don't know why Trump isn't raging on twitter about this, they are going to kill (thankfully) fracking in the US and drive up unemployment when he needs it least ahead of the election, last time there was a major drop in oil price lots of US oil businesses quickly had to shut down and mothball or went bust

Saudi working hard to drive everyone else out of business while everyone else is preoccupied

Gove just made it clear, Sports Direct aren't essential and they have now u-turned on opening. He said walking, running and cycling were the only forms of exercise people really needed so wasn't sure the need for a sports equipment shop.
He actually did a good job clarifying a lot of examples, hopefully they will post it online.
