Yet another manifesto commitment watered down by Labour.
The climate crisis worsens every year, but the government continues to retreat.
Instead of action we see climbdowns, u-turns and backtracking. All while the world's biggest polluters celebrate and rake in the profit.

But, Emilia says the Chancellor missed a major opportunity.
SUVs - the UK’s heaviest, most polluting vehicles - remain untouched by tax reform. A Large Vehicle Levy could raise nearly £2bn a year to reinvest in public transport and address the damage these vehicles cause.

🚗 UK Budget Response from Transform Scotland
Transform Scotland spokesperson, Emilia Lauder, welcomes the Chancellor’s baby steps toward fairer motoring taxes. The new mileage-based charge for EVs and long-overdue changes to fuel duty finally move us closer to a 'polluter pays' system.

Whilst most families see their household budgets stretched further every month, the richest in our country continue to increase and hoard their wealth.
The @scottishgreens.org proposed tax on the top 1% would see £70 BILLION for our public services.

The UK’s 50 richest families hold more wealth than 50% of the population.
A tax on the top 1%'s wealth could raise at least £70 billion for our public services.

Building the equivalent of the UK's second biggest airport right next to its largest?
Moving the M25?
Increasing noise pollution and air pollution for Londoners?
The UK faces many challenges. Heathrow expansion is not the answer to any of them - and is insanity in a climate crisis.

The U.K’s guilty men want you to forget that the 2008 bankers’ crisis, 14 years of austerity, Brexit, and Covid failures are the cause of our woes.
Instead, they want you to think renewable energy, which costs your household 47p a day, is the problem.
They think you’re idiots.

£133 BILLION
Since 2011 the fuel duty freeze has cost the Treasury £133 billion.
This huge amount could have paid for lower train and bus fares, better stations, safer walking, wheeling and cycling and much more!

Rachel Reeves will freeze fuel duty to dodge ‘political suicide’
The chancellor will also highlight a rise in the minimum wage and plans to cut energy bills as she tries to win over voters by focusing on cost of living

Rent and food doesn't cost less because you are under 25. Instead, it takes up a larger proportion of most young earners income.
The @scottishgreens.org want to see a real living wage, which increases with inflation every year.

Kangaroo "courts" are not courts. They are a means of government insiders shafting us outsiders if they wish.
No respectable legal bod should have anything to do with them.
