Sunak to make an announcement on net zero at 4.30pm today. LONDON, Sept 19 (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak will give a speech this week in which he is expected to delay some of the government's policies to reach net zero emissions by 2050, saying the response to the climate change should be more "proportionate." In a highly unusual late-night statement after reports that he was planning to row back on some of the government’s key green policies, Sunak said he would set out an "important long-term decision" about the country's plans to reach net zero - link |

Sunak might pull it back if he does away with this ULEZ and these daft 20 mp zones, apparently Wales are up in arms at that daft lefty loon Mark Drakeford, they are beginning to see Labour for what they are .... stealth tax the latter day highwayman.

I am so very very pleased about this
At a time when opinion polling looks like this ... LAB: 47% (+1) CON: 23 (-5) LDEM: 10% Deltapoll 11 - 15 Sept,
it seems our illustrious Prime Minister is about to drive a wedge straight though the middle of the Conservative Party, and probably ignite a colossal row just before conference season.

There is only one poll that counts and if sunak wants to become viable he would throw this net zero bollocks into the trashcan. |

Flip flop can't make his mind up yet, it's only Labour pushing these ULEZ and 20 mph zones, Khan might end up a useful idiot after all, useful for the Tories that is ... , Khan is going to cost Labour a lot of votes .....LOL |

Although I welcome any move to reduce net zero I'm critical of Sunak because we all know the only reason he is 'probably' going to pull back on trendy left wing policies is because there's an election next year and he knows perfectly well that net zero is very unpopular with hard pressed voters. I hope he approaches net zero with the same level of zeal and enthusiasm as Xi Jinping and Nerendra Modi have.

I disagree. MP's who are looking at losing their seats next year will support any policy that may keep them in office, and they know damned well that net zero is very unpopular with voters. |

I think most of us would feel better about net zero if it was for the right reasons, but we all know full well that ULEZ and 20 mph zones are just a money making racket. It's all about raking in money for the Councils, and it's a insult to our intelligence if they think, we believe they actually care about the planet, because the same Councils are cutting trees down on a breathtaking scale, so that shows their hypocritical double standards are yet again come shining through.

You are correct - its desparation, Sunak probably looked at the latest polls and thought that anything is worth trying, what is there to lose except an election. But by been inconsistent, a back-tracker, and having an unreliable commitment to green energy will not win the election. Already people from his own party are queuing up to criticise Sunak, and the motor industry are not happy either. uk.yahoo.com/finance/news/ford-delaying-petrol-diesel-ban-091027463.html( Ford: Delaying petrol and diesel ban ‘undermines’ what we need from Government ) |

Couldn't agree more. Net zero, ulez etc are very expensive virtue signalling rackets that will have no global effect whatsoever, it will just push more and more people into fuel poverty. Rumour has it Sunak will push net zero back to 2060 or 2070. We'll find out at 4.30.  |

But I think it's pretty obvious he will push back on net zero because it's not popular with the electorate and unpopular policies don't win elections. |

And if these lefty virtual signallers really cared about our planet they would be trying to stop this total destructive plastics that is in abundance all across the globe. Even that can be burnt cleanly in this day and age to generate energy. |

Starmer and Labour wouldn't stand a chance. If Sunak does significantly push back on net zero it will obviously be welcomed by voters, and it will be interesting to see what Starmers reaction is. Will he dig his heels in and go all out for net zero? Or knowing net zero is unpopular with voters will he try to outdo Sunak and push back on net zero even more? |

Sunak would not dare to interfere with something which is the domain of the elected Mayor of London and the London Assembly.
Half of Londoners do not even own a car, and a petrol car needs to be generaly SEVENTEEN YEARS OLD to fail the emissions standards, how many people do you know have a 17 year old car. ?
How on earth can anyone declare that taking 30,000 vehicles off the road will not make any difference to polution ?
