Brazilian President
Brazil's president has used part of his trip to the UK for the Queen's funeral to stop at a petrol station and call out the cost of fuel.
Jair Bolsonaro recorded a video of himself at a Shell forecourt in central London pointing to the price of unleaded on an electronic sign.
He said the £161.9 per litre cost was almost "double the average of many Brazillian states".
He then went on to claim that the fuel in his country was among the cheapest in the world.
The video, which was posted to Twitter by Brazilian communications minister Fabio Faria, drew criticism on social media - with people stating the comparison was unfair, citing Brazil's minimum wage being several times lower than that of the UK's.
Prices, while still at monumental highs, have fallen in recent months from the record breaking £2 per litre prices seen earlier this year.
Brazil's premier has been touting the fall in fuel prices as he attempts to avoid being kicked out of office in next months presidential elections.
Mr Bolsonaro was one of many world leaders who travelled to the UK this week in order to pay their respects to the Queen.

As Bolsonaro took selfies with his supporters near the Planalto Palace, the President was questioned by Wilker Leao, an army corporal known for filming his confrontations with the right-wing leader's supporters and posting them to YouTube.
In the video, Leao can be heard asking Bolsonaro about his alliance with a group of right-wing and center parties called "Centrao," which holds a large number of seats in Congress.
Bolsonaro and his leftist challenger, former president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, launched their rival presidential campaigns on Tuesday ahead of the October election.
Lula remains the first choice of 47% of Brazilian voters, according to a nationwide poll from Datafolha Institute released by Folha de S. Paulo newspaper on Thursday night. But the gap is closing with Bolsonaro up three percentage points since the last poll in late July.
According to the Globo video, Leao is seen being pushed by an apparent security officer, and refusing to leave. He begins to insult the President, calling him a "coward" and a "punk."
"I come here every day, Bolsonaro. Let's see if you have the guts to get out and talk to me," Leao says.
The President can be seen exiting his car saying that he wants to talk to Leao. He grabs the YouTuber's collar. "Come here, come here to talk to me," he says, reaching for Leao's phone.
After the scuffle, Bolsonaro and Leao can be seen speaking more calmly.
"You can talk to me all you want, you can talk all you want. There's no problem. Why this aggressiveness?" Bolsonaro says.
"Because when I talk to you, sir, calmly, when I went there, I was forbidden to go in there again to talk calmly with you, sir," Leao replies.
Bolsonaro's press office and Wilker Leao did not respond to CNN's request for comment.

Sao Paulo (CNN) Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro got physical with a YouTuber who heckled him in the capital Brasilia on Thursday, according to video from Brazilian news station Globo.

"I think you go to sleep thinking about me. You have a crush on me," Bolsonaro told Vera Magalhães after she asked him about Brazil's Covid-19 vaccination rate. "You are a disgrace to journalism in Brazil," he said.
Magalhães later said Bolsonaro's attitude was "absolutely out of control, unnecessary, and... harmful to himself." She said she believed Bolsonaro "doesn't like to be questioned by women."
Bolsonaro's insulting comments to Magalhães came after he faced criticism for his attitudes towards women. The far-right leader defended his government's support for laws in favor of women and claimed "a large part of women in Brazil love me" because he opposes legalizing drugs.
Bolsonaro and former president Lula joined four other candidates in what was the first televised debate ahead of the October presidential election. The debate focused on a range of issues including the economy, climate change, and the government's handling of the Covid-19 pandemic, but was peppered with personal attacks.
Bolsonaro was forced onto the defensive over his handling of the economy, the climate crisis and the pandemic. The president claimed the Brazilian economy was "booming," despite record unemployment under his administration.
Meanwhile, Lula, the most popular candidate according to recent opinion polls, denied accusations of corruption and defended his innocence.
Lula was convicted of corruption in 2017 and surrendered to federal authorities in April 2018 to begin serving a 12-year prison sentence. However, in 2021, the Supreme Court annulled the conviction, allowing him to run for president again.
"I was arrested so you could be elected president but then I was found not guilty. But I'm going to win now to see in one stroke what you want to hide so badly!" Lula said in reference to Bolsonaro's alleged efforts to conceal information and weaken transparency since he took office.
Brazilian presidential candidates (left to right) Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, Simone Tebet and Jair Bolsonaro take part in a debate on August 28, 2022.
Senator Simone Tebet, of the Brazilian Democratic Movement Party and a member of the country's Covid-19 parliamentary commission, accused Bolsonaro of delaying Covid-19 vaccines and spreading fake news about the virus, a claim which the president denied.
The three other candidates who took part in the debate were Soraya Thronicke of the Brasil Union Party, former finance minister Ciro Gomes of the Democratic Labour Party and political scientist and writer Luis Felipe D'Avila from Novo party.
This will be Lula's sixth run for the presidency with the Brazilian Workers' Party (PT). He served in the role from 2003 to 2011 and left office with an approval rating of 90% after millions of Brazilians were lifted out of poverty during his time in power.
However, his good fortune did not last long. After surviving throat cancer in 2011, da Silva was convicted of corruption and money laundering six years later, charges stemming from a wide-ranging investigation into the state-run oil company Petrobras.
The first round of Brazil's presidential vote is scheduled for October 2 and officials have warned the highly contested election could spark unrest.
The country's Superior Electoral Court Minister Edson Fachin said in June that there was a risk of unrest "more severe" than the January 6, 2021, insurrection at the US Capitol.
Bolsonaro, who is behind Lula in opinion polls, has repeatedly cast doubt on the country's electoral process and criticized in particular the use of electronic ballots -- a system that has been in place in 2000. He has also called for the military to perform a parallel "public" count of the votes.
Fachin said that election authorities would not accept interference from the federal government or the Armed Forces, and added that the Organization of the American States (OAS) has agreed to be an observer in the Brazilian elections.

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro Tuesday told the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York that his administration had “put an end to systemic corruption in the country.” He claimed that previous corruption scandals were a thing of the past.
He added that when the left ruled Brazil, “the person responsible for this was unanimously condemned in three instances,” while avoiding naming former President Luiz Inácio Lula Da Silva, whom he trails in all polls ahead of the 0ct. 2 elections.
Bolsonaro began his speech with a positive assessment of his administration and seized the opportunity to remind Brazilians that the presidential elections were just a fortnight away.
”The truth about how Brazil is overcoming the challenges imposed by this time of crisis and tribulations around the world,“ Bolsonaro began by saying.
”We live in a decisive moment. Our collective responsibility is to read the challenges that make up this decisive moment. The effort must begin within each one of us. It is what we do in each country that gives us the authority to act at the international level,“ he added.
Regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, Bolsonaro underlined that ”in Brazil, during the pandemic, we made efforts to ensure that there was financial assistance for those most in need (...) We launched a broad vaccination program, including domestic production of vaccines. More than 80% of the population is vaccinated against covid-19. And all those who were vaccinated did it voluntarily,“ he stressed.
Brazil ”made reforms to attract investments and improve the standard of living of the population. During my administration, we put an end to systemic corruption in the country,“ the South American leader pointed out.
”We have improved public services and invested in science and technology. We have improved the business environment with the economic freedom law and the law for the creation of companies,“ he added.
”Brazil is coming to the end of the year with an economy in full recovery. Poverty increased worldwide due to the impact of the pandemic. In Brazil, it started to decrease. Unemployment is down 5% and we have reduced inflation. We have had unprecedented deflation in Brazil. Gasoline and electricity prices went down,“ he insisted.
”We have the tranquility of those who are on the right track. In food production, today we are one of the largest exporters. In terms of the environment, Brazil is an example for the world,” he said.
Brazil has a year-on-year CPI of 8.8% and the accumulated inflation since January reached 4.7%, while unemployment is 10.5% (11.3 million people).
Under Bolsonaro, Brazil became the country with the highest number of COVID-19 deaths (666,516 - or 3,201 deaths per million inhabitants).
It was Bolsonaro’s fourth message to the UN since 2019. Like in recent rallies at home, Bolsonaro defended conservative family values and spoke against abortion and “gender ideology,” although he did recognize the importance of women's rights.
Bolsonaro also praised his country's agribusiness industry which has reversed the country's trend from “food importer” to “food exporter.”
He also positioned himself as an advocate for free speech and religious freedom. “I want to announce here that Brazil opens its doors to welcome Catholic priests and nuns who have suffered cruel persecution from the dictatorial regime in Nicaragua. Brazil repudiates religious persecution anywhere in the world,” he said.
Now THAT is not true. Unfortunately, corruption permeates Brazilian society at all levels. It matters not which political wing holds the reigns. That merely changes the recipients.
