Rachel Reeves ‘betraying’ drivers by not halving VAT on fuel – Robert Jenrick

Robert Jenrick has called on the Government to halve VAT on fuel during a petrol station stunt, claiming Rachel Reeves is “raking it in” and “betraying working people”.The Reform UK Treasury spokesman was heckled by Green Party activists when he encouraged the Chancellor to implement the policy for three months during a visit to a forecourt in Nottinghamshire.The petrol station displayed reduced prices of 145.9p per litre for petrol and 178.9 for diesel, which are available to customers on Tuesday, which Reform said is the same as the saving from halving VAT on fuel to 10%.
