As the article acknowledges, it’s left wing economically while being quite right wing on social issues. Blue Labour, essentially.

    Petrol cars pay fuel duty, which is finally going to be unfrozen, so they do effectively get taxed more if they’re driven more. Agree Range Rovers should be taxed more, though!

      @frankPodmore @Jrockwar cars should be taxed according to size and weight, imo, if you’re bringing road maintenance & wear and tear into it. Then beyond that fuel source can be taxed according to pollution levels, as it currently kind of is (especially if they actually *do* unfreeze fuel duty).

        I’d also tax people more for having more cars. Like, the more cars you have registered to an address or an individual, the more tax you pay.
