It is *impossible* to meet our climate targets (which are still too little too late to be a realistic 1.5-2°C fair share target) without significant (10-20% Iirc) cuts in total car miles driven *even if transport electrification goes extremely well*.
In the absence of national leadership, local leaders were stepping up to make things happen, now they’re going to have their hands tied too?
This is *insane*.
And it’s going to heap suffering on even the drivers anyway – and a lot sooner than you think.
[Edit] and, again, he is way too young to be risking this. If we’re going to +2°C like he appears to want, we’ll be there by 2050. He’ll still be alive. And people will want justice.

Sunak: Gets in car
Councils are free to do what they want as long as it’s what Westminster wants.
Daily Mail commentator pleasing measures with absolutely no real effects.
Anyone would think there was an election coming up.
Perhaps they could focus on the problems with the country rather than trying to appeal to the morons.
If the councils are acting out of interest of residents….
the residents can vote them out.
Don’t need Westminster to be telling local councils what their electorate wants, that’s what local democracy is for. Any vote that isn’t for an MP does nothing in this country
Sunak is desperately clinging to a reprehensible group of moronic conspiracy theorists as his last hope. Combine this with Braverman and the general move towards smashing the big racism button and it is clear the Tory party is in an all out panic.
Are yes protect the automobile what a fordward thinking green genius!1! can’t wait to see the back of rich tea, shortbread.

Is Sunak just some CO2 in a suit?
