Cancelling the TV licence fee would help. So would reducing the treasury's windfall take every time the oil price goes up. Peg it at say 50p excise duty and vat per litre (maybe 55p for diesel, if it's to be discouraged).

Pointing out that the £20 increase to benefits was temporary, like the furlough, and now other arrangements and efforts have to be made might make people concentrate efforts more usefully...
Removing VAT was a promise made during the referendum , we shouldn't have been paying that for the last 6 years . In fact removing all tax from fuel would bring prices down across the board .
