Mid-year 'cost of living' payment

surely we should be putting pressure in the government to take off VAT from Electric Gas and Oil for Heating taking VAT and Fuel Duty off Petrol and diesel and this would reduce fuel to £1 a litre and take £800 off the average heating bills and this is way better than any one off payment and the fuel would reverse inflation everywhere as it affects everything we buy and do !?

Ah well... now we're getting into the realm of politics, which is all about choices about who bears the pain.

I'd personally prefer a windfall tax on the suppliers vs a VAT cut, which will only cut the amount of money in the public purse.
