@RachelReevesMP With the fuel prices currently skyrocketing and fuel duty calculated at a percentage, rather than freezing fuel duty you could easily reduce the percentage of fuel duty and still bring in more tax off fuel duty than previous years!!!!
⚠️ UK supermarkets are using MISLEADING food labels to confuse shoppers and HIDE imported products behind British branding. The investigation EXPOSED Sainsbury's, Asda, Aldi, Morrisons, and others for vague or missing country-of-origin labels - and the government allows it‼️
The UK has just introduced a per-mile tax for driving your car.
To start with it’s just 3p per mile and just for electric cars.
Going to visit your family who live 3 hours away will now cost you £10 extra every time.
But then it will obviously become 5p and then 10p and then £1 all in the name of “saving the environment”.
And then it’s won’t just be electric cars, but every car on the road.
This won’t take long either. Just watch.
“Yes, you do have freedom of movement, but your trip to Nottingham to see your elderly parents will cost you £300 in tax”.
An entirely backward policy that stifles conversion to electric, penalises people who live in rural parts of the UK, and adds another Big Brother lens watching your every move.
Rich people driving 5 miles from Mayfair to meet friends at the restaurant = negligible tax.
Regular people living in north England driving 100 miles a day to do 2x school runs and get to/from work will just have to find £15 a week in extra tax from the magic money tree.
Another policy that shows the Government is out of ideas.
If you earn over £50,270 a year you will now pay 40% tax even if things are tight for your two-child family and the cost of living is horrendous.
If you have six children, Labour will now give you £14,000 extra.
What was that about Fairness?
