Drivers are facing a £10 billion hike in annual petrol and diesel costs as “soaring” prices put the squeeze on working families across the UK, Labour has warned.
Labour has renewed demands for an “emergency budget” to tackle the cost-of-living crisis, with a cut to energy bills funded by a windfall tax on oil and gas companies.
Figures from the Labour party showed that the cost of a litre of unleaded petrol rose by 37p over the past year, while for diesel the rise was 47p over the same period.
