We support this campaign from @wearepossible.bsky.social highlighting public support for fairer taxation of private jets in the UK.
NEW | Our latest research exposes just how lightly private jet users are taxed — and how much the UK is losing because of it.

It’s time the biggest polluters paid their share.

What’s been happening with SUV sales in the UK? 🚘

SUV sales have continued to grow in the UK market this year - meaning more emissions, safety risks and road wear, and less space on our roads for pedestrians and communities 📈

Great to see our UK director Anna Krajinska interviewed by @jeevanvasagar.bsky.social for this piece in @theobserveruk.bsky.social on how the UK’s green transition is shaping up, and what’s at stake if we don’t keep up.

We’ve joined forces across civil society & have written a joint letter to the HM Treasury advising urgent tax reform on the UK’s heaviest, most polluting cars.

We’re calling for change: a straightforward large vehicle levy, that would raise nearly £2bn for vital public investment.

🔋Today’s Electric Vehicle (EV) stats from New Automotive highlight a breakthrough month for the UK EV market delivering the highest battery electric vehicle (BEV) market share of the year, with 26% of all new cars sold fully electric.

🔌 Electric Vehicle (EV) drivers who are able to rely on at-home charging have already been benefitting from lower running costs compared to petrol vehicles, but new analysis from The Times now shows that drivers relying solely on public charging are also saving money.

⏰ Yesterday’s ‘Houses of Carliament’ event for our Large Vehicle Levy was a great success, with strong engagement from MPs and fellow advocates.

💰 The proposed levy aims to generate approximately £2 bill annually by ensuring heavier vehicles pay their fair share of road taxes.

Thank you so much for joining us to discuss the issues, and our large vehicle levy ahead of the Autumn Budget.

#housesofcarliament
Great to visit the car dealership stunt at Parliament today by @transenvuk.bsky.social and @olord.bsky.social showing clearly just how huge and heavy cars have become making the case for fair tax by vehicle weight.
October 29, 2025 at 7:06 AM
We're here at Westminster today for our 'Houses of Carliament' to demonstrate how cars are consistently getting bigger and heavier - drop by to discuss our solution of a large vehicle levy.
October 28, 2025 at 11:43 AM
📅 Join us tomorrow at the ‘Houses of Carliament’ from 11am at Old Palace Yard, Westminster, to experience first-hand the pressing issue of increasing vehicle size & our proposed solution: the Large Vehicle Levy.

🫂 We welcome you to drop in for a conversation. It's time for tax fairness on UK roads

⏰ Today the Transport Secretary launched a "swift and robust” review to fast-track Heathrow expansion cutting the process timeline by 3 years.

⁉️ But here’s the real question:
Where’s the clarity on how Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) will be produced at scale in the UK?

'Smoke screen: the growing PHEV emissions scandal' part 2:

💸 On average, running a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) costs drivers over £650 more every year than driving an equivalent fully electric vehicle (BEV).
October 20, 2025 at 8:44 AM
🚨 New data shows plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) are far dirtier than claimed.

📑 With the #Dieselgate trial unfolding this week, fresh evidence suggests plug‑in hybrids (PHEVs) could be the next big deception.

10 years ago, the car industry was caught red-handed cheating emissions tests with defeat devices.

Latest: Indonesia launches a probe into POME exports following concerns over fraud.

Earlier this year T&E published data showing Indonesia was exporting more POME (a palm oil byproduct) to the EU than it could realistically collect - a major sign of fraud.
