🌊 Cruise growth must not come at the cost of clean air and healthy communities.

The UK Government’s cruise growth plan, launched in September, aims to boost coastal economies -touted as worth £5.8 billion a year and supporting 60,000 jobs.

🚗 Pay-per-mile charging is the right long-term goal, but giving plug-in-hybrids another tax break unjustifiable.

We support this campaign from @wearepossible.bsky.social highlighting public support for fairer taxation of private jets in the UK.
NEW | Our latest research exposes just how lightly private jet users are taxed — and how much the UK is losing because of it.

It’s time the biggest polluters paid their share.

What’s been happening with SUV sales in the UK? 🚘

SUV sales have continued to grow in the UK market this year - meaning more emissions, safety risks and road wear, and less space on our roads for pedestrians and communities 📈

We’ve joined forces across civil society & have written a joint letter to the HM Treasury advising urgent tax reform on the UK’s heaviest, most polluting cars.

We’re calling for change: a straightforward large vehicle levy, that would raise nearly £2bn for vital public investment.

🔋Today’s Electric Vehicle (EV) stats from New Automotive highlight a breakthrough month for the UK EV market delivering the highest battery electric vehicle (BEV) market share of the year, with 26% of all new cars sold fully electric.

🔌 Electric Vehicle (EV) drivers who are able to rely on at-home charging have already been benefitting from lower running costs compared to petrol vehicles, but new analysis from The Times now shows that drivers relying solely on public charging are also saving money.

⏰ Yesterday’s ‘Houses of Carliament’ event for our Large Vehicle Levy was a great success, with strong engagement from MPs and fellow advocates.

💰 The proposed levy aims to generate approximately £2 bill annually by ensuring heavier vehicles pay their fair share of road taxes.

Thank you so much for joining us to discuss the issues, and our large vehicle levy ahead of the Autumn Budget.

Great to visit the car dealership stunt at Parliament today by @transenvuk.bsky.social and @olord.bsky.social showing clearly just how huge and heavy cars have become making the case for fair tax by vehicle weight.

We're here at Westminster today for our 'Houses of Carliament' to demonstrate how cars are consistently getting bigger and heavier - drop by to discuss our solution of a large vehicle levy.

📅 Join us tomorrow at the ‘Houses of Carliament’ from 11am at Old Palace Yard, Westminster, to experience first-hand the pressing issue of increasing vehicle size & our proposed solution: the Large Vehicle Levy.

⏰ Today the Transport Secretary launched a "swift and robust” review to fast-track Heathrow expansion cutting the process timeline by 3 years.

Where’s the clarity on how Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) will be produced at scale in the UK?

'Smoke screen: the growing PHEV emissions scandal' part 2:

💸 On average, running a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) costs drivers over £650 more every year than driving an equivalent fully electric vehicle (BEV).
October 20, 2025 at 8:44 AM
🚨 New data shows plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) are far dirtier than claimed.

📑 With the #Dieselgate trial unfolding this week, fresh evidence suggests plug‑in hybrids (PHEVs) could be the next big deception.
