Labour rejects the claims made by Chancellor Rishi Sunak, stating that they are not considering policies such as implementing new taxes on flights or requiring seven bins for recycling. Shadow Environment Secretary, Mr. Reed, emphasizes that these policies would contradict their net zero targets and harm the motor industry. He also notes that car manufacturers have been preparing for the 2030 ban on petrol and diesel cars by shifting production towards electric vehicles. Reed underlines the importance of keeping this deadline to meet the net zero goals and decrease fuel costs. He warns that postponing the ban would deter needed investment and have negative economic consequences.
‘Trash our economic future’
The Shadow Energy Secretary, Ed Miliband, expresses concern about the government’s decision to delay the phase-out of petrol and diesel cars, stating that it will damage the economy and burden families with additional costs. He supports the reinstatement of energy efficiency requirements for landlords. Miliband disagrees with Sunak’s plans to phase out fossil fuel boilers by 2035, asserting that Labour has never agreed to government deadlines and will set its own date for transitioning to electric heating to ensure affordability. Miliband emphasizes the need for policies that benefit working people based on lessons learned from the voter revolt over the Ulez policy.
