Nigel Farage and Robert Jenrick have told the Sun they’d scrap £13.5 billion in net zero spending to reverse Reeves’ hike to fuel duty due September:
“Reform would cut £13.5billion in bonkers green schemes. And we’d use that money to do what Reeves should but won’t — cut your bills. That starts with scrapping this crazed plan to increase petrol taxes at the worst possible moment.
If Reform was in Government, it would never have happened. We will spend the next few months trying to shame Rachel Reeves into cancelling it. But if she doesn’t — whether because she’s running scared of the Greens or in hock to her far-left backbenchers — then Reform will reverse it in our first Budget.”
The pair will host a press conference at 10am. Reeves herself is up in the Commons at 11.15am. Stay tuned…
The day after Starmer U-turned and refused to blame Trump for the war Rachel Reeves told the Mirror:
“Obviously no sensible person is a supporter of the Iranian regime, but to start a conflict without being clear what the objectives are and not being clear about how you are going to get out of it, I do think that is a folly and it is one that is affecting families here in the UK but also families in the US and around the world.”
