00:00Well, look, we've been calling and pressing and pushing for this decision to not increase fuel duty for some considerable

00:09time.

00:10It's a major U-turn. They should have done it much earlier and given people that comfort.

00:15But it is something that my party has pressed for and we've achieved yet another U-turn from this government.

00:22The biggest point, though, here is the fact that inflation is generally being way too high since this government came

00:27to office.

00:28And that's because they've been taxing businesses, they've been passed on by way of higher prices, borrowing lots of money,

00:33spending lots of money, stoking inflation and making everybody worse off as a consequence.
