The UK government will cancel the planned fuel tax hike.

Golden Ten Data, May 17 – According to a Saturday evening report by The Sun, UK Chancellor Reeves plans to announce next week that she will postpone the scheduled increase in motor fuel tax originally set for September. The temporary fuel tax reduction that began in 2022 was due to expire this September; if it ends, fuel prices would rise by 5 pence (about 6.6 cents) per liter. However, the UK government has already extended this tax reduction multiple times, with the most recent extension in the annual budget last November. The Sun reports that Reeves is preparing to extend this measure once again.
