How about he removes the NI hike and keeps fuel duty? Any shortfall can be raised via increasing income tax. That will serve to better protect the poor from the impact.
Oh yeah, he’s a Tory.
Yes, but what about more tax breaks for millionaires and corporations, will he keep those tax loopholes open, it’s hard keeping those third and fourth holiday homes, yachts and funding Tarquin through Eton.
…. Priorities.
We all clapped for the NHS
Petrol has gone up 25p in the last couple of weeks. Taking 5p off that isn’t slashing it by any means. He should take 25p then even that wouldn’t be “slashing” anything but simply returning it to its previous price.
A 5p cut doesn’t even take us back to where we were at the start of the month!
‘Slashing’ fuel duty all sounds very promising till you realise it’s actually just ANOTHER kick in the stones.
5p a litre. At circa £1.70 a litre that makes for what, a 3% reduction. Slashing? Aye ok then.
Why not cut something almost everyone has to pay, such as VAT on electricity bills?
Remember two years ago when hoards of people were going, ‘Oh no, Rishi is a good Tory. He’s not like the others’. Those fuckers have been real quiet lately.
Devil’s advocate: any reduction by Sunak doesn’t trickle down to the pumps, where fuel companies keep the prices high so they can reap (rape??) more from the public
