I think raising fuel duty again is madness, especially when it's at the price it is now!

He has also reduced the vat on patches from 17.5% to 5%. Should have got rid of it altogether, might have encouraged a few more.

But he is scrapping the lower rate of tax so it's really an headline making spin but he is taking back what he is giving.
