Original: gas prices
UK drivers face further misery at the pumps as the Chancellor is reported to be plotting a new petrol tax in the upcoming Budget, according to The Sun. Separately, energy regulator Ofgem has approved a deal to maintain UK gas import capacity, and commentators abroad are watching how inflation shapes voter anger, with The Irish Times noting the political cost rising prices carry for politicians like Donald Trump.
Why now: Fears of a new petrol tax in the Budget and ongoing inflation concerns are keeping fuel and energy prices at the top of the news agenda.
