Labour - We Really Need To Be Scared of Them.

The Centre for American Progress, which has close links to both the shadow chancellor and Labour leader Ed Miliband, is calling for an 82 per cent rise, adding an extra £25.85 every time you fill your tank. It also wants an additional fee based on the number of miles a person drives a year.

Even if it was only 1p a mile, that would add £82 to the average annual cost of running a car. The think tank report refers primarily to the US. However, it suggests European countries should take the same course to ease congestion on the roads and boost funding for transport infrastructure projects. Express.

I do not think for one moment that Labour would dare to implement this in all its fullness. But they are looking at it and despise the poorer people in society enough to bring it in under an allegedly green banner as they vie for the middle class, former Lib Dem  voters.
