Reform UK Pledges to Reverse Fuel Duty Hike at Derbyshire Petrol Station
Reform UK proposes funding the 5p fuel duty cut by saving £13 billion through scrapping green levies and ending the Electric Car Grant, aiming to ease motorists' costs.
- On Tuesday, Nigel Farage staged a petrol‑station announcement at New Haven Services in Buxton, Derbyshire and held a timed press conference from 10.30am to pledge to reverse the planned 5p fuel duty rise.
- Against a backdrop of rising oil prices, Farage said about 6p is added per litre and criticised heat pump subsidies while Chancellor Rachel Reeves resists cancelling the planned 5p fuel duty rise.
- Reform UK says reversing the fuel duty rise would cost £13 billion and urges scrapping the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and CCUS to fund it, claiming £13 billion in savings.
- Local visuals showed the forecourt branded in Reform turquoise with signage like 'Reform Refuel' and diesel at 1.43, as Robert Jenrick climbed scaffolding and Alan Graves arrived in a Reform-blue Bentley on the A515.
- Politically, Reform positioned its pledge to cancel the hike by scrapping 'lunatic' net‑zero levies, with Robert Jenrick calling it 'common sense' and saying 'Rachel Reeves is delivering a brutal blow to hardworking people'.
