A freeze in fuel duty (currently around 53p per litre before VAT) is not a tax cut, it's simply not increasing a tax. Whilst previous governments have implemented a "fuel duty escalator" to discourage fuel use, that was simply a choice to regularly increase tax. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_Price_Escalator https://www.gov.uk/tax-on-shopping/fuel-duty

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1854577054848516128
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
