Western Daily Press
|April 25, 2026
REFORM UK will lead a protest through Westminster on Monday to insist fuel duty “must not go up”, Nigel Farage said.
-
Fuel duty has been frozen since 2011, and was cut by 5p in 2022 in response to Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
But at her budget last year, Chancellor Rachel Reeves said the 5p cut would be unwound between September 2026 and March 2027.
