Come on, Joseph and Edward: tell us how you plan to do this
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has just announced that a halt in Iran’s oil exports may push oil prices up by 20 to 30 per cent.
I hope some reporter has the common sense to pick up the telephone right now and ring Joseph Muscat and Edward Scicluna to find out how they plan to honour their commitment to lower the price of electricity and water to the consumer while paying up to 30 per cent more for their oil.
In the ordinary course of events, I would suggest they ask Joseph and Edward whether they have a contingency plan for any escalation in oil prices because of problems with Iran.
But a contingency plan presupposes a plan. And as we know already, there isn’t one.
I would avoid ringing Anglu Farrugia, as they will only get the reply Lou Bondi got in front of a major television audience:
‘Minhiex tekniku, imma cara daqs il-kristall.’

As far as I know they were promising to halve the bills and not just lower them. Incidentally, it’s been a while since they mentioned the W&E bills. Will they be changing tune?
Maybe Joseph can ask his ‘nanna laburista’ for guidance.
Plan B: Labour will send AST to sign a secret Treaty with Iran. AST believes that foreign policy must feed into the budget.
Plan A: Labour has no such thing as plan A.
Talk about being led by the blind… he couldn’t even answer one of the questions – disgusting!

Maybe Edward can explain this to Joseph as well, or maybe not.

Joseph and Edward? JEDWARD.
Why not ask Joe Mizzi instead?
He knows where the oil is.
