A prominent think tank has called on the UK government to cut fuel duty by 10p per litre until spring 2027 as part of a broader strategy to protect households from rising costs linked to the conflict in Iran. The Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) recommends additional measures, including capping speed limits and introducing a new energy price cap set at £2,000 annually, to mitigate the impact on consumers.
