Cut out the Green Rhetoric and Drive up the Economy
| Howard Cox, Founder of FairFuelUK said: “The Queen’s Speech was full of promise for tomorrow, but nothing for today. Taxes must be cut now to put money into people’s pockets using an emergency Budget. The Government has to bring forward the planned income tax cut too, reduce Fuel Duty significantly, implement PumpWatch and deliver a one off windfall tax on opportunistic oil companies, making sure those proceeds are ring fenced to help those suffering in the cost of living support.” “COP26 and Net Zero initiatives need to be put on the back burner to focus on solving the cost-of-living crisis. Boris’s myopic drive to follow fashionable green polices will not help hard pressed families struggling to heat their homes, fill their cars or even put food on the table. Cutting VAT and Green taxes from energy bills should be a no-brainer for any Chancellor.” In the latest opinion survey by FairFuelUK the vast majority of the UK’s worried core of voters, want the Government to focus on reducing energy prices (80%), petrol and diesel costs (67%). Just 11% of want Net Zero plans to be a priority. |
