The escalator has been suspended, but just wait for the price rise anyway in fuel (which the Gov't will get as a percentage anyway) due to, "uncertainty of supply".

Gee thanks, guv'nor - I'll have a bottle of cider to celebrate, before I head out for the bingo, Mr Chancellor, sir.

Are we really meant to be grateful for this 'crumb from the master's table'?
