What the petition asks

The government needs to immediately the remove 75% tax or reduce tax to no more than 20% of gas electricity petrol diesel and all fuels to keep the country moving and prevent further damage to the economy and the current cost of living crisis the people are currently facing.
The people of this country have suffered for far too long we now get taxed on everything and the only people benefiting from the tax is the government the taxes we pay aren't going back in to circulation and helping the British people. The major companies get exemptions while we suffer to get to work and feed our families it can't go on any longer
