Did you know you pay more fuel tax on a single car journey than a billionaire does on a private jet flight?
Right now the gov is subsidising tax breaks, when they could be using that tax to generate billions for public services.

It was a pleasure to see the #CVLR on Wednesday of #BetterTransportWeek! A home-grown innovation that can make building new tram systems and extending existing ones much cheaper and quicker!
Earlier this #BetterTransportWeek we had the pleasure of test riding Coventry's splendid Very Light Rail prototype vehicle.
We were joined by Minister @simonlightwood.org.uk, @mayorwestmids.bsky.social and @cllrjimoboyle.bsky.social of @coventrycc.bsky.social.
What an exciting project!

Pleased to launch our latest report on ensuring a #justtransition to greener transport for the social care sector.
Based on the views of care workers, we found those providing care in home settings are much more reliant on private cars.
