I have a van on a 1200 mile delivery run. I just called them to see what the situation was, and they said that a couple of petrol stations have run out, most have queues, but some have put prices up.

This time, the tanker drivers are not on strike, they have merely threatened to. So as the filling stations are drained, they are replenished. Hence in a few days, once everyone's filled up and has no room to put any more petrol, and there still isn't a strike, the filling stations will be back to normal pretty quickly.
Sorry to burst your Tory-hating bubble, but this really isn't the society-collapsing gaffe you want it to be.

This isn't a party political issue. It's caused by an MP making a stupid statement. It wouldn't matter what party he was from, it was still stupid advice.
