Aw bless.
Food is VAT free (oh how I love running on veg oil).
An increase of the 17.5% VAT rate would not just affect fuel.
Of course this is all guess work by a few non-governmental economists.
Doesn't mean it will happen, doesn't mean it won't.
If it does, I'll be complaining about the mess Labour left us in, not the steps that need to be taken to get us out of it.
