“A Labour Government That Doesn’t Like Motorists” Starmer Fails To Rule Out Fuel Duty Rise
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- The Prime Minister has insisted things will improve by the next election as he sought to “inject some hope” after Tuesday’s warnings of more pain to come.
But he was unable to say a rise in fuel duty would not be part of the package when the Budget is announced on October 30.
In his speech in 10 Downing Street’s garden on Tuesday, Sir Keir warned the next Budget would be “painful”, and the public needed to “accept short-term pain for long-term good”, taken by some as paving the way for tax rises.
Talk’s Mike Graham discusses the story with founder of Fair Fuel UK, Howard Cox.

Labour are only doing this as they see car drivers an easy target, and everyone goes after the motorist first and sees it as easy money
It is.
Governments only Tax us because we allow them. All tax is theft that is the one great universal truth. Born free Taxed to Death.
well - they have bought into the big lie about EV's haven't they! The environmental cost of an EV is horrendous, it can spontaneously explode producing extremely toxic fumes that can kill you in one breath, cant be put out and can devastate an area better than a ruzzian missile in a block of flats. Will an EV battery last 10 years? Because if it doesn't it ISNT 'environmentally friendly' compared to an ICE.
More taxes on EV's. Time for environmentally friendly vehicles to pay their fair share of the tax burden.
@@KennethOram-ei9ff
EVs "environmentally friendly"?
Don't make me laugh.
Motorists, the elderly, the working class, Jews, Smokers, Patriotism.... I could go on
Total people control WEF plan police state.
What's a jeew?
Working class, personal choice, free speech, peopels thoughts, they gonna try taking alcohol away next mate!!
@@Waltfrog What a stale boring world it will become. How will I ever get laid if the woman is not blind drunk?😂
It beggars belief how the two main party's ignore the No.1 issue with UK voters ie. mass immigration ! Willfully looking the other way !
What's this got to do with fuel?
@@bertietheboy They use fuel in their dinghy's.
They follow a clearly defined plan ignore public opinion criticism of anyone who raises the issue and keep going , i must only write what i see no change in policy only a lot of blar blar
There isn't "two main Parties"
We have a UniParty ,all they've done is changed the seating arrangements in Parliament.
Notice how annoyed they get when the "upstarts"from Reform have the cheek to question them.
Yes I've not heard about it in years!
Taxing energy. All energy. Is madness. It's the oxygen of the economy.
I’m struggling financially, between my car insurance going through the roof, and the price of petrol I’m paying near on £300 a month. I use my car for work. This is beyond a joke.
Hold onto your hat it's about to get much worse. This government surpassed unhinged.
I would get another job mate.
A home-charged EV would cost you about £30 for a similar mileage.
I hope you have the right insurance for work use.
This too is happening with Americans.
Labour/Starmer said he wasn't going to increase taxes on working people! Who the hell does he thinks buys fuel to get to work?
just wait until they roll out the country wide ‘pay per mile’ pogrom
So we have to suffer so doctors and other civil servants can have ridiculous pay rises whilst still enjoying brilliant pensions.
Dont forget the train drivers.
@@stephenwilby1179 Never forget train drivers paying 40% tax and National Insurance.
@@craigrothwell6144train drivers pay tax like everyone else. Poor them. They should be on 200k a year then.
@@craigrothwell6144 lol do you know how tax works? They may pay 40% of any earnings over £50k yes but before that they also get tax relief on their pension contributions to so yes Mr train driver is paying 40% on about £10-15k
@@stevenham1937 Yes far too much towards the workshy.
I really don’t understand how anyone couldn’t see this coming. They are no better than the Tories, if not worse!
They're worse and it's only two months in.
Far worse.
We knew, but we did nothing to stop it. Had we rejected them all, instead of thinking that labour couldn't be any worse, we wouldn't be in this pickle. But in it we are, and it's going to be a rough 10 years. (Unless the tories wake up, it will be a 2 term government).
@sisyphussapprentice8976 No government can last ten years governing like this. Before you say 14 years of tories, it is been the last 3 years that this country started to change. Before covid things weren't too bad. People loved being paid to sit or their bums and get paid through covid. All governments are not Perfect but this one I'd off the scale unhinged.
Reform 2029 for me❤🇬🇧
You have to pay for your mistakes @@johannabarry4672
And Banning smoking at clubs and pubs ect, He's Destroying The Country Within.
Imagine banning nicotine, one of the most addictive drugs on the planet, which causes the free health care system, known as the NHS many millions of pounds each year! Not to mention it can effect people who don't smoke, for example the people who work in clubs and pubs. smh
How does discouraging smoking and drinking "destroy the country within."? Please explain.
@@wildnfree101 ummmm they take around 4x more in tax from nicotine based products than its cost to the NHS per year. There’s also a massive saving in not paying pensions to the people who die early but that’s somewhat morbid to discuss. Strangely they’ll protect you from secondary smoke but they’ll completely ignore the alcohol that has a far higher cost to life and the god awful food that you’ll consume in the same garden but hey ho.
It’s been banned in pubs etc for years!
@@nannyofmany8315 now they want smoke free beer gardens! we’re outside for fs sake
Starmer is a W⚓
😂😂😂 great emoji use!!
@@SMichaelDeHart 😂😂
"First they came for the motorist, but I ride a bike, so I said nothing"......
......."Then they came for me, but there was no one left to save me".
Oberste Führe Stamer, along with Reichsmarshal Reeves will tighten their grip until your compliance is complete.
Oh dear, where do you start with that nonsense, have you had a stroke? Maybe a two stroke? 😂😂😂🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🐑🐑🐑
They don’t have a problem keeping the freeze on the income tax threshold for decades. So how can they justify ending the fuel tax freeze? Hypocrisy abounds.
Someone has to give £3 billion to Ukraine and fund the hotels for the boat people. Can’t we get Sunak back? 😢😢
Fuel goes up everything else goes up ,
Well spotted, it's inflationary !
That is another fact that mp's cannot (or will not) see or understand?
@@martinsurridge7390 economically illiterate that’s why
Starmer is not an economist ..but ...he is a psychopath
The 5p cut will be removed soon so if they increase fuel duty on top, that will make fuel quite a bit more expensive, possibly another 10p a litre, so it could easily cost an additional £3 for 30 litres of fuel soon.
Mind you MP's will be alright with their travel expenses all covered. It won't cost them a penny.
Blair and Brown hit the motorists as well, the same play book.
Arguably brown fucked it by gifting low VED on new cars like diesels at the time. All cars should have VED of £100 minimum imo.
I blame The Sun, they changed on the last day to tell readers to vote Labour.
Any one who listened to that paper shouldn't be allowed to vote in the first place.
@@bermudarailway Too many read it mate
I don't think the Labour Government like anyone ?
The economy RUNS ON PEOPLE WHO DRIVE ! Public transport is shite stresses me out everyday Next they will just want all your wages next!
A gov who doesn’t like the people
And freedom of speech.
Be fair, just it's own people.
@@vanhooler358 yes 👍 you’re correct .. the lizard 🦎 people
The claims of MPs regarding "expenses" and parliamentary benefits needa to be investigated again aka the "Expenses Scandal". Most of the expenses claimed these days are mind boggling. Where is the Telegraph these days? Please revisit your original investigation.
god help us when the budget comes in , get starmer out
Now we know why fuel has come down recently - it's so it will go up again so we don't think it's really that bad !! we stand for anything in this country !!
A British society that doesnt like 2 tier kier 🤣🤣🤣
This is like being under the boot 🥾 of the SS. 🇬🇧
When fuel prices increase food prices increase.
Well spotted, its a big driver of inflation as it effects everything.
All prices increase!
And if you own a vehicle, your spending ability for goods and services, decreases!
Great for the economy, NOT!
How can anyone who has lived through any Labour government be surprised at the surprise tax rises. Fools for voting for them or worse staying at home and not voting. There was an alternative and it looks more credible and a common sense move with each passing law….sorry, each passing day😂
tax used to be 30% in the 70s
Untrue, they want you removed off the road to be able to move freely for them selves.
I don't actually believe that.. £50+billion in various car related taxes a year.. They can't actually afford too loose that...
@@hudsonbear5038 they will get it elsewhere. There is a raid coming on the youngsters pensions pots and they don’t realise it. Starmer is still working on the 15 min blueprint but labour voters didn’t believe would bring to there areas. But they are. Where I live, when people started to come out of their house when they realised that the world stilled turned but a lot of what they were familiar with had gone.
If they stop sending money to Ukraine and Israel, we use that money to help the people in the UK
If they stop importing illegal immigrants who are not entitled to be in the UK, and upkeeping them at British taxpayers' expense, they could use that money to help the British and other law-abiding UK citizens in the UK
Every nation on earth needs allies for support and the UK is no different.
What about the pensioners?😢
Hopefully we will have a long hard winter and then the question will be academic. They have made no effort to disguise their contempt for the elderly, who have only the state pension for support, yet the very people who re-built this country after the most devastating conflict the world had known.
Tells you all you need to know.
He's really got it in for the pensioners who are car owners too. Virtually all his new Bills hit pensioners where it really hurts.
@@MrTudwudit's what the electorate wanted
@@stequality Don't be daft.
We don't matter, I have lost my heating allowance, no doubt will pay more tax despite paying tax for the past 52 years. After all we have to pay for those that come here and never work, we are worth more dead if we freeze to death as they plan.
Paying for Quentin Wilson’s net zero EV utopia dream…?
My car in the past month has cost £540 insurance, £680 repair’s, £185 fuel (75 mpg), £300 mot (2 tyres & rear brake pads/discs) so total £1,705 in one month… very basic things too. It is outrageous I need that money to spend on healthcare instead as my health is more important than my damn car. I am 38 for reference. Working 75-105 hour weeks.
75 mpg, what kind of car do you have?
to the reply above this: - Kia Ceed 1.6 crdi September 2015 model, 75 mpg, Zero road tax.
@@user-cc5lq5hm6rAnd you have to replace all that every month? Get a new car mate you can afford it, if your on £10.00 an hour your earning over £4000 a month.👍🙈
@@user-cc5lq5hm6r I have a Clio 1.5d and they claim it does over 70mpg, actual is 56 mpg, and zero road tax!
We have the wonderful NHS for our healthcare.
This is music to KHANS ears he hates the motorists and now he has STARMER to back him up OUCH
The car has always been a cash cow. Poor transportation, local shops closed for out of town shopping, now everything going up in price. Vote Labour, i don't think so.
Cheap oil makes world peace ---
Coal makes cheap AC, Heat & Data Centers --
Cheap energy helps the poorest FIRST! ---
Labour government that doesn't like motorist's but they and their families will all have and drive nice car's. It's not only car's they hate. it's the WHOLE NATION THEY DISLIKE AND DISHONOUR. Well most of it anyway.
Keir’s personal approval rating has plunged to a record low of minus 16 - a drop of 27 points from his post-election high of plus 11.
G'day everyone ❤love from Australia 🇦🇺
Good day 🎉love ❤from Isle of Man 🇮🇲
Logistics price goes up, food prices go up government blame the rich farmers 😮
And global warming, far right, previous government, etc. Etc.
They have taxed enough on fuel . Clamp down on these benefit cheater with this mobility car scam .
It's not just an attack on motorists, it's an attack on everyone.
Since every relies on vehicles in some form or another, whether I'm that is driving, taxis, delivery costs, even super markets. Since they are restocked by vehicles.
By increasing the cost of vehicles will increase the cost of everything by a equal margin.
It called the Party of Working Class because their role is to keep you working class forever!
no cars for you or me just for them
I'll give this government six months tops.
People who live in London think that people who live in rural areas have the same transport infrastructure that they enjoy in the capital. It takes wilful lying to claim that, but that is what they are like, based on what they DO.
This will target everyone OUTSIDE London. Londoners can live quite easily without a car, especially those living in the inner boroughs.
Time to tax Londoners uniquely, eh? Make some suggestions in the comments on how ONLY Londoners will be made much, much poorer.
Labour are raising every tax possible.
Incone tax
Counsel tax
Road tax
Value added tax
Tax of fuel
All goung up under Labour to pay for its lavish spending
11bn in foreign climate change aid
13bn in foreign aid
10bn for public sector pay rises
3bn for the Ukrainian war
Deduct the price rises from your Council Tax and tell them in writing you are suffering hardship - as long as you pay them something they cannot do much. Don't do this unless you are actualy hard up though.
It is not just about individuals being hit with filling up their cars. When the price of fuel goes up, the price of just about everything we buy goes up. When the price of fuel eventually comes down a little, the price of items on shelves doesn't drop.
The majority of voters chose to tick the Labour box, so they need to bear that in mind before complaining.
I won't speculate on the budget, which means we have you just where we want you. Be ready for more taxation.
This will push up the cost of living AGAIN!
Interest rates will increase to counteract rising inflation.
road tax will go through the roof no dought
Who was the only honest person in the Houses of Parliament?
Do they actually like anyone ?
Narcissist only love themselves!!
They like their 'partners' in the EU!
MUSLIMS!!
GOVERNMENT POLICIES RULES and REGULATIONS always hit the people at the bottom the hardest
The next tax will be on Daylight, if you use any daylight you will be taxed.
Thanks Labour voters.
Labour is the party for the high earner.
Rise in fuel tax and pay for mile... more tax on hard working people. I only have a car to complete my job working in the community for the NHS. Will just make me leave and stop working as I have had enough of working bloody hard and having my hard earned money pissed...
You thought things were bad before. Labour will make lockdown seem like a fantastic party.
pay up old boys and enjoy the little rest of life you got
Starmer is Blair in sheep’s clothing 🇬🇧✌️
Stamer is Blair without the flair.
Don't get sucked into the Hype, fuel duty is something like £0.59p but the price you pay is comprised of Crude oil, Refining, transport, retail and duty, then the kind Government applies VAT so the VAT on the £1-60, per litre charge , equates to £0.27p so actually with Duty and VAT the Government gets £0.86p per litre THATS HALF, so without the taxes fuel would be £0.74p per litre no one explains it this way I wonder why. Oh when the retailer and/or oil company put a 1p increase on fuel the government assures you it's nothing to do with them, and they gain nothing....LIES.. any increase affects the VAT so a 1p increase means the price goes up by 1.2p so the Government gets an extra 0.2p on the sly
How can you say they are making a mistake they are now this is the plan. You will own nothing and be happy. This is all WEF
Starmer ‘concerned about far right ‘ !! You should be, because I don’t think you’ve seen anything yet.
Well done the clowns who voted Labour 😂😂😂. Sunak warned us again and again!!!
Fuel, energy, smoking, drinking, beef, etc he hates the poor and elderly...
No confidence in this government and no confidence in the Prime Minister sacking him. -16 says it all. Out out out.
They should tax entertainment pretending to be news.
10p increase is out of order
Fuel duty increase by Labour would be economically illiterate - the vast majority goods & services in the UK are transported by roads, e.g. all supermarket food, so it would hugely increase costs & inflation for everyone. Inflation wrecks the economy.
But the government have never made this connection! They think goods just appear on the shelf?
duty up, cost of everything up.
Pubs have lost their charm over the years, particularly with the rise of the gastro pub. Once, pubs were the heart of the community-a place where working men could gather freely, share ideas, and solve local problems. They were more than just places to drink; they were vital spaces for connection and resolution. Now, however, we've traded that authenticity for the trappings of a so-called liberal society, and the result is a loss of the communal spirit that once made pubs so essential.
Loss of social cohesion, community spirit etc exactly what 'they' are aiming for. It makes us easier to govern. Divide and rule.
Only a grassy knoll or a book depository can help us.
Mr. Starmer's Fully costed plans to freeze energy costs, only 30 days left to put plans into action Mr. Starmer, pensioners double whammy, 10 % increase on top of losing Winter Fuel Allowance - send your energy bills to Downing Street. He will cover them. 23% increase in costs for pensioners, almost all on a fixed income. Heat or Eat, that is the question for an awful lot of pensioners. What a horrible thought
Working as a delivery driver paying almost 200£ just insurance plus gas and making less the minimum wage but working crazy hours 😢
Taxed for breathing in this Country
This government has no clue as to what it is doing. They are making going to work not worth while, and Benifits start to look like a better option. Not that I could do it but this is reality. All for people getting help where needed but we already have to many people claiming benefits, That's a whole other conversation..
The Labour party's grotesque horror show continues unabated.
My wife went to renew her car insurance the other day and for the same insurance as last year they wanted double. The cheapest quote she could find was 515 pound and for that she would have to have one of those black boxes installed which limit your speed! Its legaliized robbery, are Labour going to do anything about this racket? probably not!
What a load of rubbish. The RAC said today cuts to fuel duty does nothing for the motorists and to scrap the 5p cut as it hasn’t helped at all the greedy retailers have not passed it on and kept it for themselves. The Tories encouraged greed.
Remember the good old days when our governments kept in the background most of the time. Starmer wants a tax & a rule for everything.
It is easier to control people on public transport - the car is independent of the state
That is why Labour hate the car
I am trying to find one thing this government is planning to do to help people.
I can find loads of examples that will hurt.
At what point do we stand up and revolt
So now we can't even smoke outdoors in a pub garden are we going to ban fat people sitting on log benches outside too?????
The fuel stations haven't passed on the 5p fuel duty cut to the consumer, which was the whole point of the fuel duty cut in the first place. Businesses and companies have been taking the piss for too long with their huge profiteering via the tax payer and consumers!
Let’s just say 10% of motorists get rid of their petrol/diesel cars, Where will the government find the 10% of lost revenue. Electric cars are for the new Labour supporters , You know the ones who are better off than most of us.
Almost Every petrol engined car built from 2005 is ULEZ friendly ! Every diesel engined car built from 2015 is ULEZ friendly ! That gives you lots of scope to be ULEZ friendly ! ULEZ friendly means your car is up to date with pollution levels
OPEC is the only one that raises oil for petrol at the pump that can be 5 quid a litre and people would still pay for it
Labour = Beer up, Cigarettes up and petrol up.
The motorist is going to be hammered. Now travelling by motor will become a luxury. It looks like we shall all be travelling by the bus.
Fuel duty would be great. A direct payment services provided on a use basis!
I don't like motorists either. I don't like the air pollution they generate, the noise pollution, and the way they clog up the roads for buses. Those who can should use public transport!
How about giving the buses a break,by reducing their fuel charges and thereby reducing fares for older people,also perhaps cutting the number of cars on our congested roads.
More people out of work because it costs too much to get there
Start of the end for Labour. But we still got another 5 years of this before we can boot them out.
Starmer said Vote for Change we are certainly getting it but not the change the voting public thought it was going to be.
The fuel and energy companies are already making obscene profits at our expense.
Imagine the size of the black hole if it wasn't for the huge excess taxes they pay on their profits.
He probably thinks motorists are "far right"
Given the dire economic situation and need to raise taxes a rise in fuel duty commensurate with inflation over the past 5 years, i.e. since the huge increase in debt post the Pandemic and the invasion of Ukraine, doesn’t seem unreasonable. Bear in mind vehicles have become more efficient/economical as as result of the drive to reduce greenhouse gasses and a now lower world oil prices so what the motorist is paying out probably has not increased at all. If Money has to be found from somewhere fuel duty increases is a less uncomfortable source than most others. The country’s spending is out of control and if the Govt is not going to tackle that then tax increases are inevitable.
Petrol and diesel should be £20 a litre 👍🏾 should get people out of their cars
