While in Government the Conservative Party froze fuel duty for 14 years.
Because we recognised that for many people driving is a necessity.
When Putin launched his barbaric invasion of Ukraine, we cut fuel duty by 5p to help Britain get by.
Because of Labour’s political choices, including billions on welfare spending, Rachel Reeves wanted to act differently.
During a worldwide energy crisis she was set to hike fuel duty by 5p.
People rely on their cars every day.
To commute to work, to take their children to school, to go to the shops or even to see their family.
And at a time when petrol prices continue to rise, people need support. Not even more taxes.
That’s why we campaigned against the fuel duty tax rise since day one.
And thanks to everyone who helped us in our fight, Labour has backed down and U-turned once again.
While the other parties play games or focus on stunts, the Conservative Party is working hard to stand up for the British people.
