"Rishi Sunak is set to announce in next week's budget that red diesel
- so-called because it is marked with a dye - will no longer attract
a lower fuel duty. It currently accounts for about 15% of total
diesel sales in the UK and costs the Treasury about £2.4bn a year in
revenue."

Red disel current attracts 11.1 p/l duty. "Road" diesel 57.7 p/l.

The reporting of these rumoured changes also hint that the freeze on
fuel duty may well end.

Think I might be filling the genset and paying a visit to the local
garage and to top up the jerry can and a 25 l drum or two...


Not just "**** Business", then. **** the farmers too.
why not?..

Indeed. Anyone (except billionaires) who voted for Boris because they
were told to be scared of Corbyn deserves all they get. I for one will
laugh at those queuing for foodbanks in Sunderland after voting for
Boris.


that's not very nice...you are getting a bit stroppy ....

I shall do the laughing in front of the TV, not in person. I'm not
stupid.
