PM Sunak Weakening Key Green Policies : Live 4:30PM 20/9/23
 

[Rishi Sunak is considering weakening
some of the government's key
green commitments in a major policy shift.
It could include delaying a ban on the sales
of new petrol and diesel cars and phasing
out gas boilers,
multiple sources have told the BBC.

The PM is preparing to set out the changes
in a speech in the coming days.

There is no suggestion that Mr Sunak
is considering abandoning the legal
commitment to reach net zero carbon
emissions by 2050.
But he is expected to declare that other countries
need to bear more of the burden of
dealing with climate change.

If Mr Sunak presses ahead with
the plan it would represent a significant shift
in the Conservative Party's approach
to net zero policy, as well as establishing
a clear dividing line with the Labour Party.]

Green Party is angry

:clap1:

get this utter madness in the BIN

Not surprised in the least.

Not that the current plans were particularly green anyway.

First thing tories do when they're hurt, is look for a way to screw over future generations.

more MSM Kool Aid patter

The MSM is notoriously anti-tory :joker:

Not unexpected from Fishy Sunak but it's wrong in my view.

i think its the right move. Getting rid of gas boilers is hugely expensive and electric cars aren't fit for purpose yet

While Drax's method of tree-powered stations is held above cleaner and greener methods like nuclear, no-one has the right to call themselves or their methods green.

Not Rishi accidentally meeting one out of five promises?

No PMQ's tomorrow

it's putting clear daylight between tories and labour. It will be interesting how labour will react

Yes they may have a problem.

BBC asks is this about the Election?

Rishi says no,
he has being thinking of this for a long time



ITV Peston
Claims the boilermakers
have had the rug pulled under them.

Sunak no


He told Peston to ask Kemi

it just seems like common sense to me

Some if it I can see the sense of.

Just sick of his deceitful selective number crunching he does.

If I was Starmer, and thankfully I'm not.
I'd criticise the change of stance, however would in principle half-heartedly accept some of these changes, with the view of reviewing once and should he win the election.

I'm not bothered on the climate policy issues..
This PM and his hard-line heartless Ministers, should be out for alone the chaos they've helped create and the chaos they are still sustaining across the NHS.

If we get Rwanda sorted this could be better times for Rishi

Labour don't have a problem. This has been done for tory newspapers and a galahad base. Most of the public are aware of the climate emergency and it's consequences (between 70-80%).

it's another tory created problem, which I'd say would backfire, but the party is in such a state they've already bled out.

Starmer criticising anyone else for changing their stance? :laugh:

Lets see all the Front Pages
later Slim.

Yes.

I've no doubt you'll take up 3 pages to post them all, but of course the tory papers will support it. It doesn't matter because the tories are getting wiped out in a year or so, and there's nothing that's going to change that fact.

The Sun asked about HS2,
to Manchester?

Sunak, did not give him a answer.

i think Sunak comes across very well on the subject

For You
I will post the Daily Mirror, First.
