The current Labour Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, pledged to keep the freeze intact until the end of this year. However, experts warn that unfreezing and adjusting fuel duty in line with inflation could add between £60 and £100 annually to household petrol and diesel expenses. Nimesh Shah from Blick Rothenburg explains that reintroducing fuel duty hikes could generate an additional £6-7 million in revenue for a Labour government under Burnham’s leadership.
