This week, she is expected to announce the cancellation of a planned fuel duty increase that was set to rise by 1p in September, as part of a broader package aimed at reducing the overall cost of living. According to government insiders, Ms Reeves may also scrap the entire 5p increase scheduled to be implemented incrementally over the following six months, effectively extending the current fuel duty freeze beyond its temporary status.
