The cost of capping bus fares at Ā£2 would have been tiny compared with keeping the fuel duty freeze. We should be incentivizing public transport which would help reduce carbon emissions - rather than continuing with this regressive fuel duty cut. #AutumnBudget
Text: Updating fuel duty could fund bus fare cap 10 times over. Graph with shows cost of capping bus fares at Ā£2 being Ā£300m and the revenue from reversing the fuel duty cut at Ā£3bn

Reminder: Repeated fuel-duty freezes since 2011 have cost the govt at least Ā£80bn and raised UK CO2 emissions by as much as 7% carbonbrief.org/analysis-fueā€¦

Analysis: Fuel-duty freezes have increased UK CO2 emissions by up to 7% - Carbon Brief

The cuts and freezes in fuel duty since 2010 means the UKā€™s CO2 emissions are as much as 7% higher than they would have been.

Disappointingly timid changes to capital gains tax, which will only raise Ā£2.5bn. Equalising CGT with income tax could have raised Ā£15bn Income from wealth should not be taxed less than income from work #Budget2024

Lots of talk on affordable housing and new building, which is commendable, but what are the plans to protect natural environments, ensure they utilise renewable energy, are energy efficient and adaptable to climate change? #AutumnBudget

Chancello r"I have come to conclusion that extending the freeze on tax thresholds would hurt working people. There will be no extension of the freeze in income tax & NI thresholds. From 2028/29 thresholds will be uprated in line with inflation" So keeping the huge cost of fiscal drag to raise revenue, until, just, before, the, next, election... #Budget

50% increase in private jet air passenger duty is a HUGE win

HUGE and unexpected win in #Budget24 on private jets: air passenger duty hike. Good for climate, good for the economy. Total no brainer.

BRAGGING about having the lowest tax rate on rich peopleā€™s investments in the G7?? But yeah, this governmentā€™s definitely on working peopleā€™s side. #Budget2024

Where are the incentives to use low carbon and public transport? Sending the wrong signals to consumers and increasing the cost of climate change

Disappointing to hear the government won't be reversing the fuel duty cut - this is a regressive move that actually benefits the wealthiest and makes it harder for us to tackle climate change. #AutumnBudget

So no tax increases on highest earners but we push the cost to businesses? Increasing costs to SMEs already struggling is not the answer - why arenā€™t we asking those with the deepest pockets take on the biggest burden? Poor move Ms Reevesā€¦. #AutumnBudget

Positive news there will be an increase in national living wage up 6.7%, which will especially help young people, those most often in the lowest paid jobs to help them with the growing cost of living #AutumnBudget

Major moment for women empowerment with Rachel Reeves, first female Chancellor of the Exchequer, giving her first autumn budget. Iconic line ā€˜let there be no ceiling on hopes, ambitions and dreamsā€™ #slay

Labourā€™s fiscal rules are a threat to intergenerational justice. #Budget2024 If we donā€™t invest now in environmental and social transformation, future generations will have to pick up the bill. Read our call to align public spending with common good: ukycc.com/_files/ugd/d70362_ā€¦
Decision-making frameworks for the common good. From national to local level, authorities must align spending with the needs of people and planet, to ensure divestment from harmful industries, and investment in essential services.

Participatory governance, putting people in power. Placing power in the hands of those who use and depend on these systems - through devolution, diversification of ownership models, and the inclusion of affected communities.

Redistribute wealth and invest in our future. Invest in economic and environmental transformation, by ensuring that the richest - those who have benefitted most from our deeply unequal society - pay their fair share.

Stop funding genocide, and advance global justice. There can be no climate justice without human rights, and no end to inequality in the UK without an end to global inequality. Human rights and global justice must be advanced through every action we take.
