Ed Davey wants the UK to cut fuel duty by 10p right now. He says this could help people pay less for petrol and diesel. He blames higher fuel prices on problems in the world. In his view, Donald Trump’s war with Iran has hurt the UK economy. That damage can push costs up for families. Davey is asking the government to act quickly. He believes a faster price cut would give relief sooner, not later.
