.@UKLabour's favourite think tank, the @resfoundation is calling for #fuelduty to be increased! WTF does this quango cost us, and what have they contributed to improving your daily life? The Resolution Foundation sees motorists as a revenue stream. We see them as the backbone of the British economy. Taxing drivers more will not solve Britain's problems. It will make them worse This is exactly the sort of Westminster think-tank analysis that looks neat on paper but bears little resemblance to the real lives of millions of hardworking families, commuters, tradespeople, farmers and small businesses who depend on their vehicles every day The claim that Fuel Duty freezes are not well targeted ignores the reality that every product on every supermarket shelf is transported by road. Higher fuel taxes do not just hit drivers; they push up the cost of food, deliveries, manufacturing, farming and services across the entire economy Drivers are already among Britain's most heavily taxed consumers. For years they have been treated as a Treasury cash machine, paying tens of billions in Fuel Duty and VAT while receiving little in return. Suggesting that motorists should now be hit with even higher taxes during an ongoing cost-of-living crisis shows a remarkable disconnect from economic reality Fuel costs may be below historic peaks, but they remain painfully high for families and businesses struggling with household bills, inflation and rising costs. The question should not be how much more Government can extract from drivers, but how lower fuel costs can help deliver growth, reduce inflation and support the people who keep Britain moving. As FairFuelUK has repeatedly demonstrated, cutting or freezing Fuel Duty boosts consumer spending, helps businesses grow, supports jobs and generates wider economic activity. Punishing motorists with yet another tax rise would be economically reckless and politically tone-deaf Please ask @andyburnham & @JohnHealey_MP to support drivers in the #Budget2026 at fairfueluk.eaction.org.uk/Cu… @martinbeckford @JasonGroves1 @DailyMail @MailPolitics
