Rejected petition Put a cap on fuel prices

The cost of living is soaring for ordinary people yet companies are still profiting from essentials e.g. fuel. The government should cap fuel prices at a reasonable price so people can afford to live.

More details

The UK has the opportunity to set a precedent to other countries and prove that their people are worth more than lining big business' pockets. Government has more sway with companies than the general population. The country needs their government to help them.
