Members of parliament and former politicians have reacted with scorn to Rishi Sunak’s overhaul of the UK’s net zero targets, which involved dropping several key policies and watering down others. Criticism came from across the political spectrum, with Tory MP Simon Clarke describing it as wrong and Green party co-leader Carla Denyer calling it a ‘dangerous and desperate U-turn’.

About The Author
All these Labour and Tory MPs who dont care about the damage these Net Zero, actjons and battery cars are doing to the environment. They are only concerned about their pockets and income from ,lobbyists. None have the ability to carry out a full environmental impact assessment. None care about the destruction of the planet when mining lithium and the bulking agents, the water pollution, the loss of habitats and thats just making these cars. Then we have the envitonmental damage of tearing up roads to install the cables, the damage to our roads by the heavyweight monsters, the disposal of batteries. My neighbours electric golf broke down, it took a low loader large enough to take earth moving equipment to take the thing away. Normal vehicles would be carried by a lightweight truck. Not a fan of the Tories but Sunak, at last has announced something sensible. But! Will he implement.
,
Abolish net zero.
To be honest its the greatest U turn ever to made🥳🥳🥳
Sunak’s finally listening to the people
It’s total b s the climate change garbage the powers that be created it to keep all us little people in servitude and poverty
Anyone labeling this u turn as dangerous seriously needs to research the vast devastation lithium and cobalt mines cause to the environment and climate. Electric vehicles are not the solution!
Take it from someone with an electronic car. It is most definitely not cheaper than running on petrol. Maybe cheaper than running a Range Rover. Maybe that's why these posh nobs think it's cheaper. "Well it's cheaper than my Range Rover you know"
Police stol my work money
The UK could vanish tomorrow and it'd have no effect on the climate. We aren't the problem, 100 years ago yes but we have no industry any more.
pay my bills…..
rather than me pay yours….
Oh Goodness me. What about the average person in street. ! ?
They are been made POORER!?
The wealthy are upset, because many are invested in Net Zero.. !
The wealthy are able to maintain their Lifestyle’s!
Ridiculous.. Scenario!
Corpos need to realise that not everyone lives in london and has the tube, shocking i know, all they care about is london, it’s like they genuinely have no idea how unreliable, unavailable and how expensive public transport really is outside of london!
Net Zero is a scam imo
Some politicians don't seem to understand set theory. The economy is a subset of the environment.
We've got a reprieve from the smart city gulag for another 5 years! Of course Sunak won't be in power then so it's all a meaningless charade but hey ho.
No one cares. Focus should be on the actual big polluters of the world. We aren’t in that bracket
How about net zero mass migration
At last Sunak has shown a bit of commonsense over this net zero nonsense. I simply couldn't be achieved by 2030 .there are just too many hurdles in the way. I doubt even 2060 would be possible. With the UK contributing 1% of global emissions. it wouldn't make a blind bit of difference anyway.
Glad he got rid of the compulsory car sharing… fed up of been forced to give 3 people a lift into town ….. no i am not because it doesn't exist ! Its all about geting Dum people to vote for him ?
That green Woman has no problem flying to America visiting relatives every five minutes but then rules are for us plebs not her
Just listen to the Eco wet wipes bahhhhhhh
UK CITIZENS DONT CARE ABOUT NET ZERO
WE CARE MORE ABOUT IMMIGRATION
The Guardian (gutter press) and The Times and Labour and The Greens must think😢 we ordinary people are daft. Best move ever as our small country is 0.5 of the world's emissions!!!.
Typical Guardian: what do Westminster elite think, rather than how do ordinary householders afford it?
I bet the Guardian wishes it could censor comments here like they do on their website.
His u turn is a safety net on energy and is right .There is no climate crisis and will never be till the Sun statts expanding ..
I don’t have a vehicle I live in London🇬🇧. I use public transport 👍🏻
