Rishi Sunak has announced plans to row back on UK net zero commitments despite fierce backlash from leading industry figures and the prospect of a damaging rift in the Conservative Party. In a press conference held inside Downing Street the Prime Minister said he would put back a ban on new fossil fuel cars by five years in a major U-turn among a raft of new measures. Supporters of the government’s announcement have hailed it as a sensible and pragmatic approach. Meanwhile critics of the announcement have slammed the government's decision.
