Aye, the problem is that no matter how many environmental policies we adopt, coming out with a message about cutting #FuelDuty is massively unhelpful.

@greenlibdems.org.uk

Diesel hits £2 a litre.

The government’s answer: compare prices on Google Maps. Their estimated saving: £40 a year.

The tax on a £100 fill-up: about £43.

Fair play, they’ve delivered.

This is a demonstration of why cutting #FuelDuty is the wrong policy @libdems.org.uk

That’s the problem - wealthy people are more likely to drive more and have bigger cars. Even if you believe that cutting #FuelDuty won’t just drive up demand in a fuel shortage, in a country where 22% of households don’t have a car, it’s nothing but a bung for rich SUV drivers.

Not this again. Cutting #FuelDuty for all will stimulate demand, driving up prices when the problem is a shortage.

It would be better to use the money here to reduce private car use, with tax relief for eg. hauliers.

It’s unclear when and by whom this policy was agreed.

I think he also had a pop at the 10p off #FuelDuty policy too.

I’ve just emailed my MP urging a Fuel Duty cut in the Oct 28 Budget. Drivers, businesses and the economy need certainty now — and MPs must hear it directly from us. FairFuelUK helped freeze Fuel Duty for 16 years. fairfueluk.eaction.org.uk/Budget-Oct-28 #FairFuelUK #FuelDuty #PumpWatch

So stop treating every litre of diesel the same.

Private car use and commercial use aren’t the same thing.

If you want to cut fuel duty, target the vehicles doing the work.

Cheaper fuel for the people actually moving the economy around.

And yes, some of the saving might stay with the business.

That’s how business works.

It might help keep prices down, improve margins or keep a small firm viable.

That’s still better than taxing the cost of getting the job done and pretending it has no knock-on effect.

Think about what a commercial vehicle actually does.

Food. Parcels. Building materials. Medicines. Parts. Fuel.

Nearly everything you buy has spent some time on a diesel vehicle.

Make that cheaper and you’re cutting a real business cost.

Cut it for commercial vehicles only.

Vans and lorries aren’t burning diesel for a Sunday drive. They’re delivering the stuff we all buy.

Taxing the fuel that moves everything around the country just feeds into higher prices.

I’ll give the Lib Dems credit where it’s due.10p cut in fuel duty is exactly the sort of practical measure drivers and small businesses need when fuel prices are hammering household budgets.

I spend my life on the road.I know what fuel costs do to businesses.

I am really, really annoyed about this, on the same day #LibDemConference passes a good #ActiveTravel policy.

10p off #FuelDuty was a bad policy in Apr when it was first mentioned & a bad policy now. With constrained supply all it will do is increase demand & drive prices up @greenlibdems.org.uk
