Rishi Sunak defends rowing back on key green policies
Rishi Sunak insists the UK will still hit net zero by 2050, despite announcing a major shift on green policies in a speech yesterday. Speaking to Today's Nick Robinson, the PM says he is "absolutely not slowing down efforts to combat climate change". Despite warnings the government might miss legally-binding net zero targets, Rishi Sunak also said: "For too long in this debate there hasn't been enough honesty about what's involved." When asked if net zero can be achieved by 2050 if gas boilers can be installed up to 2035 according to the new policy, the PM says: "Both in the cars and vans that we drive, and how we heat our homes, over time to deliver net zero, those things have to change, but we can do that in a measured way."
