Campaigning for drivers in North East England

[𝗔𝗕𝗗 🇬🇧 🚘 @TheABD]

"#FifteenMinuteCities" is a concept used by the communist government in China 🇨🇳 to curtail freedom, and is being pushed in the UK by a few clapping seals. 👏🏼🦭

Please sign this petition:
Ban and stop the “15 minute cities” initiative in the UK.

[Looking for Growth @lfg_uk]

More than £68,000,000 has been spent to dual the A1.

So, how are they getting along?

Well, it hasn't even started.

Even worse, it has been cancelled. Nothing was built.

£68 million. Wasted.

Is this good value for money?

[Howard Cox @HowardCCox]

A senior Labour Minister has told me in confidence that there will definitely be a 5p (6p with VAT) increase in Fuel Duty in the Autumn Budget. Chancellor Rachel Reeves announced this in last year's Winter Budget.  He whispered to me, ‘Howard, you will not win this one despite your exceptional campaigning over the past 15 years.’

He told me the Chancellor is desperate for money, not to repair our pothole-infested roads, NO, but the extra cash is needed to cover increased Government expenditure elsewhere. 'And we may have to bring the increase forward in the Spring Financial Statement!'

And that’s why I am seeking your support for FairFuelUK to help us raise funds to commission independent economic research that, yet again, will show that any increase in fuel taxation will cost jobs, hike inflation, slow economic growth, hit those on low incomes hardest, and therefore negatively impact future tax revenues to the Treasury from all businesses and the self-employed, so reliant on road transport.

FairFuelUK has always stood for fairness, transparency, and evidence-based decisions. To strengthen our case for fairer fuel taxation, we need to commission new independent economic research to provide the complex data required to challenge Keir Starmer’s cash-grabbing, flawed policies and to influence government thinking.

Independent economic analysis strengthens arguments with the government. Incontestable data helps challenge flawed assumptions about fuel duty, and such research gives FairFuelUK credibility in media and parliamentary discussions.

If you’re able, please consider contributing to fund this vital work. Every donation helps us produce credible, expert analysis that speaks directly to ministers and policymakers.

Thank you again for supporting the most successful public affairs campaign of the last 2 decades, driven by facts, fairness, and the voices of ordinary drivers and businesses.

You can see how much FairFuelUK has saved you since 2011 by preventing planned annual inflationary hikes in Fuel Duty at this link: https://t.co/Qb5jatjHbM.

For example, had Chancellors increased Fuel Duty each year since 2011 by the rate of average inflation, for a family petrol car doing 35 miles per gallon and 8000 miles each year, the campaign has saved that family £10,223.56. So please go to the link and enter your own fuel type, MPG and annual mileage you drive at https://t.co/Qb5jatjHbM

With your donation, no matter how small, and your continuing petitioning support, we can get Rachel Reeves to keep Fuel Duty frozen for the 16th year in a row and perhaps even get her to cut this regressive tax.

We need to start the lobbying.

"...roadworks will be carried out on the A66 between Hulands Quarry and Cross Lanes, affecting traffic in both directions.

The scheme forms part of gap safety improvement works along this stretch of the route."

I hope those who fail an eye test are banned from driving WHATEVER THEIR BLOODY AGE

Stop picking on experienced drivers!

The wind industry is falling apart. After Orsted's mammoth rights issue yesterday, now US turbine blade manufacturer TPI has filed for bankruptcy. It turns out wind power can't survive without massive subsidies.

In the Netherlands, we have a tradition of so-called tiles (in the famous Delft blue) with meaningful sayings.
We find this one particularly telling.

[Martin Durkin 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇮🇱🇺🇸 @Martin_Durkin]

Of UK politicians, Nigel Farage has come closest to calling the whole climate alarm a pile of steaming crap. He and others must now say this publicly, loudly, repeatedly. And our corrupt Leftist science establishment, who’ve so shamelessly pushed this nonsense, should be punished by losing every last penny of public funding.

[Richard Wellings @RichardWellings]

Councils must realise by now that cycle lanes are typically a waste of money, often barely used. So the real reason they're still being installed is to create more problems for motorists by narrowing roads, reducing parking etc. https://t.co/ZyvvrH09QA

The drink-drive limit in England and Wales could be cut from 35 micrograms of alcohol per 100ml of breath to 22 micrograms.

This would mean drinking one pint would be over the limit.

Would you support or oppose this?

[Richard Wellings @RichardWellings]

An array of tighter restrictions on driving are in the pipeline. Ministers will claim it's all about "saving lives" but in reality it's yet another strategy to force people out of their cars and advance the climate lockdowns agenda. https://t.co/xDO2XeQPmG
