Approach to replacing fuel duty revenue over the longterm is about right, I think: still have an incentive to switch from ICE to EVs, and will just be the new normal as drivers transition.
Other tax changes raise £11 billion by 2029-30. These include a new mileage-based charge on electric and plug-in hybrid cars from April 2028 at around half the fuel duty rate paid by drivers of petrol cars (raising £1.4 billion); a reduction to writing down allowances in corporation tax (£1.5 billion); reforms to gambling taxation (£1.1 billion); changes to capital gains tax reliefs on employee ownership trusts (£0.9 billion); and tax administration, compliance and debt collection measures (£2.3 billion). These tax rises are partially offset by a further freeze to fuel duty rates until September 2026, which costs £2.4 billion next year and £0.9 billion in the medium term.

The opening monologue of 90's Queer as Folk and several bits from the first series would certainly not get approval nowadays.

Disagree. I have found in later life that tuna 'n' sweetcorn can absorb a lot more sweetcorn than you think without upsetting the taste ratios.

I'm a can:can guy, no matter the sizes.

Just say Jonathan Bailey, it will be quicker.

In her words: the next Industrial Revolution will be judged not just on how many jobs it creates, but on who gets those jobs.
