 Some people will do anything to avoid pay-per mile

🚗💸🛑Buckle up, Britain—because Rachel Reeves is about to install a tollbooth in your driveway. In a bold move that screams “Let’s monetise movement,” the Chancellor is floating a pay-per-mile tax on drivers—including those smug, planet-saving EV owners—because apparently nothing escapes the Treasury’s desperate clutch, not even your commute.

🛣️ From Green Dreams to Greedy Schemes

Why the sudden U-turn into motorists’ bank accounts? Simple: fuel duty revenue is tanking, thanks to people switching to electric cars and not guzzling dinosaur juice. Rather than celebrate this ecological progress, the government’s response is to slam on the brakes and charge you for every blessed inch you move.

So much for incentives. You bought the EV. You ditched the diesel. You did your bit. And now? Surprise! Here’s your reward: a shiny new levy. ♻️🔋➡️💸

And if you’re still driving petrol? Don’t get too comfy—this isn’t about environment or equity, it’s about cash. And Reeves is shaking the nation’s exhaust pipe like it’s a piggy bank. Forget potholes. The real road hazard now is policy creep with a GPS signal straight to your wallet.

It’s not transport reform—it’s fiscal cannibalism. Soon, walking might come with a step tax and “breathing while stationary” could incur a carbon surcharge.
