Tony Blair Institute Push for Pay-Per-Mile Driving | Fair Tax or Big Brother Control? | Tom Harwood
Tony Blair Wants YOU to Pay Per Mile | Tom Harwood
The Tony Blair institute has called for a shift from traditional fuel duty to a pay-per-mile road tax, charging drivers based on their distance traveled. With fuel duty revenue set to drop as electric vehicles become more popular, this pay-per-mile system could bring in billions to cover the shortfall.
Tom Harwood explores the details of the proposed tax plan, which suggests setting rates based on vehicle type and potentially tracking drivers’ journeys through GPS or black boxes. Supporters argue it’s a necessary step for public finances and environmental goals, but critics fear it could bring privacy issues and burden those who rely on cars in rural areas or for work.
Would a per-mile tax be a fair replacement for fuel duty, or just another way to hit UK motorists?

It would start at 1p then they will rise it over and over constantly Starmer probably asked Tony to bring up and take this one for him after how detested he already is.
We already pay per mile, its called Fuel Duty! 😡
which means handing over all your GPS data, and newer cars can be remotely turned off if you don't pay the bill
testing something as previous comment not showing up.
TONY BLAIR?????? NO ONE VOTED FOR HIM!!!
It has been coming since Blair was las in power. And remember the post office scandal and many many many many many others plans, Ideas and scandals
Tony Blair is a war criminal and should be in court. He and his WEF cronies need to realise that they are not elected and not wanted.
As the government want us to go electrical they must suck up to the loss of tax revenues. You either screw us with Net Zero or continue as we are and getting lots of tax.
They will not 'invest' the money, they will just use it to pay their cronies in the unions and civil services.
He should be in prison the disgusting piece of shit
Why isn’t Tony Blair in jail?
I think if they start tracking people there will be a lot of people going to the governments beloved ECHR, for claims about infringement of 'uman rights and invasion of privacy. Get enough angry voters and you are on a hiding to nothing. They would have to cancel fuel duty and road tax for it to be seen as fair. What a load of money grubbing wasters this government is.
So tony thinks there's No tax on electricity then 😮
Ban electric vehicles then. I’m a genius.
Increased fuel tax affects people that don’t even own a vehicle, in as much as delivery costs will get passed on to the consumer. When you consider everything is delivered to either shops or your door it’s inevitable that cost of the majority of goods will rise.
The government punishing the public for their lack of foresight. Who’d have thought it??
Blair should butt out he is a has-been and a warmonger but watch out Blair Starmer is coming for your crown.
Will mp’s be able to claim theirs back? You betcha!
Is this a GCSE project?
How are foreign traffic vehicles going to be charged
Put Blair and Stamer in the street for 4hourss with no protection see how quickly they chamge there view on there politics there pushin on us who has to dealwith there bullshit deals ect!!! They profit while the country is destroyed within its like America!!! They only way they can be destroyed is within!!!!
I just don’t think we’re taxed enough. I think we need more taxes
WEF assistant devil treacherous media backed little TONY BLAIR.who the hell asked HIM
They could introduce a minimum flat tax to all vehicles that pay £0.
Pay by mile will charge a lot transport companies and that means higher prices for everything.
Also to put cameras in place to monitor the drivers trips it's a huge cost again from taxpayers pockets.
There will be a few million clocking their cars mileage back. Did the labour government not think of this 🙈
The Tony Blair Institute… is a vanity project named to glorify one of the most wicked and damaging British prime ministers who ever lived.
It is totally inimical to the best interests of the United Kingdom.
This alleged christian should spend more time reading and learning from his bible (assuming he owns one) rather than interfering in public life and doing even more damage.
Dopey Labour morons don't understand how the country runs.
I think it's time for motorists to get involved and stop paying for things we don't use
I honestly thought Tony Blair had died and they were just wheeling him out to annoy us.
Have you heard of beard tax??
Petrol and diesel car owners are already paying pay per mile government tax rates. Vehicle clocking has been going on for decades not to mention the dodgy MOT garages and the disposable scrap cars that will not see an MOT after a year. For the non electric car the pay per mile will cost more to implement than the current system.
