Vikki Slade, the Liberal Democrat MP for Mid Dorset and North Poole, has called for a 10p emergency cut in fuel duty to alleviate rising fuel costs for residents. During a Westminster Hall debate, she expressed concern over escalating heating oil prices affecting families in inefficient rural homes. Slade criticized the impact of “Trumpflation,” suggesting that local residents shouldn’t suffer due to global events, particularly a conflict in Iran. With inflation rising to 3.3% and fuel prices recently surging, she highlighted that nearly a third of regular drivers have cut back on other expenses to afford fuel.
