Fuel duty frozen, but bus fares up by 50%. Bad news for climate, air quality, health, the public purse and individuals cost of living.
Reminder: Repeated fuel-duty freezes since 2011 have cost the govt at least £80bn and raised UK CO2 emissions by as much as 7%

Analysis: Fuel-duty freezes have increased UK CO2 emissions by up to 7% - Carbon Brief
The cuts and freezes in fuel duty since 2010 means the UK’s CO2 emissions are as much as 7% higher than they would have been.
