The only occasion on which labour got into serious trouble in its first term of office was in September 2000, when a blockade of refiners by angry truckers briefly paralysed the country. Just as in 2000, the road hauliers want the chancellor of the exchequer to cushion the blow of soaring prices by lowering the heavy taxes levied on diesel. Despite vowing not to cave in to the protest, Mr Brown did exactly that in November 2000, when he announced cuts in duty charged on the most widely used fuels. Alistair Darling, his successor at the Treasury since June 2007, is now facing pressure to abadon a hike in the duty on petrol and diesel that is due in October. Next year’s planned increases in Taxes on many existing vehicles to reflect their levels of carbon emsions may also end up on the chancellor’s accumulating fiscal scrapheap.
