🚨 BREAKING: 🇬🇧 UK PM Andy Burnham is facing backlash over his answer to Britain’s fuel price crisis.
His solution?
A new Google Maps feature showing live petrol and diesel prices so drivers can find cheaper fuel.
Burnham says he “gets it” and won’t accept that there’s nothing the government can do.
But critics say the real problem isn’t finding a cheaper pump.
It’s TAX.
Fuel duty and VAT reportedly make up roughly 43%–47% of the price drivers pay at the pump.
At current prices, around 86p of every £2 litre of diesel goes to the Treasury.
So the debate is getting sharper:
Should the government help drivers find cheaper fuel Or make fuel cheaper in the first place?
