The UK’s Fuel Crisis Just Got Worse

Britain’s fuel crisis is escalating as diesel prices approach record levels and hundreds of forecourts charge more than £2 per litre.

With households, hauliers and small businesses already under pressure, could prices climb even further? Watch to understand what happens next and why the effects will reach far beyond the petrol pump.
