Reform UK Leader Nigel Farage pledges to scrap Labour's planned 5p fuel duty hike by axing net zero spending. Speaking during a visit to a petrol station in Derbyshire alongside Reform MP Robert Jenrick, Mr Farage says the "idiotic policies started by the Conservatives and now being made even worse by Ed Miliband and Rachel Reeves are hurting ordinary people," with Mr Jenrick adding that "this is the worst possible moment for Rachel Reeves to be hiking fuel duty."
