The fuel duty escalator over time, showing the projected future earnings going up but actual earnings flat (and down during covid) https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/hydrocarbon-oils-bulletin/historical-hydrocarbon-oils-duty-rates--2
The fuel duty escalator is the deeper cause of this, especially "oh yes we'll restore it" being used to fiddle the 5 year OBR forecast.
This is both a necessary tax to drive electrification and a key source of missed revenue.
I'm so sorry, there is no space for welfare cuts, we had 14 odd years of that, they'll have to find their money from elsewhere!
If they're burning oil they should be a priority for heat pump, solar, battery and electrical grid connection as making the biggest difference per capita to green energy.
As opposed to giving them money to go straight to big oil for more expensive polluting fuel.
After 1975, you also lived through the dash for gas, where the government supported the transition from coal to methane gas powered heating, cooking, and washing which was a huge improvement.
Yet somehow suggesting we do the same now with electrification gets "how will you pay for it?" bullshit.
Scottish Greens manifesto is out, compare and contrast
An age threshold on the benefit makes it less universal, I agree with you there. Rather than further subsidize fossil fuels, we should be spending on insulation and heat pump conversion.
Aaargh! I thought the Met had binary search explained to them but they are STILL using this excuse!!! onodi.co/bisect/
The fuel duty escalator scam, where the 5 year projected revenue is used to make the budget look balanced, despite the revenue never rising to the projection. https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/hydrocarbon-oils-bulletin/historical-hydrocarbon-oils-duty-rates--2
People broadly have understood that there is a climate crisis and we need the modal shift that electrification will provide, but the government has Goodharted the Fuel Duty escalator, and still measures Private Equity destroying useful businesses with debt as growth.
Universal benefits are much better as they're easier to implement and widely supported. You deal with the "subsidise the rich" part by raising taxation on the rich via income and wealth taxes.

I think that as economists we should be a lot more concerned that everyone feels like they've got poorer when the data show they haven't. We certainly shouldn't just be assuming that the customers are wrong, rather than that we're no longer measuring things that are most relevant to wellbeing

When I first started doing free speech work way back in 1997 and harm-to-kids issues would come up (at that particular moment, the main concerns were 'satanic' music and violent TV), people would frequently admonish me that surely I would feel different once I had kids of my own 1/
