He also cut future spending plans in a Budget which added 2p on fuel, 1p on a pint of beer and 7p on cigarettes…. In other Budget measures, fuel duty will increase by 2p per litre in September and then by 1p a litre above inflation each April for the next four years. Alcohol duties will go up by 2% – about 4p on a bottle of wine and 13p on a bottle of spirits – from midnight.

So anyone who likes using a car, relaxing in the evening with a glass / chilling in a pub garden, a swift whiskey, or smoking will now have to pay more to relax in their favourite way. In a county thats full of people who dont feel to positive about life at the moment, that cant be great.
