Carol Vorderman has slammed Rishi Sunak’s latest “new approach” to hitting Net Zero as “lies”.<\/p>\n
The Prime Minister has announced that the government doesn’t plan on introducing “heavy-handed measures”, including “taxes on eating meat, new taxes to discourage flying, sorting your rubbish into seven different bins, compulsory car sharing and expensive insulation upgrades”.<\/p>\n
Responding to the comments, broadcaster Carol Vorderman tweeted: “Rishi Sunak lies. New flying tax doesn’t exist. Compulsory car sharing doesn’t exist. Mandatory insulation upgrade doesn’t exist.”<\/p>\n
She added: “Mind you, a recycling bin each for Dozy, Nasty, Dodgy, Greedy, Shouty and Bully at GE is a grand idea”.<\/p>\n
Sunak promised that the government will “still meet our international commitments to hitting Net Zero by 2025” without introducing “heavy-handed measures”.<\/p>\n

That’s wrong, and it changes now.<\/p>\n “It cannot be right for Westminster to impose such significant costs on working people, especially those who are already struggling to make ends meet and to interfere so much in people’s way of life without a properly informed national debate.”<\/p>\n The Prime Minister made it clear he is committed to meeting targets to combat climate change, but he will not do it on the backs of struggling families.<\/p>\n Pushing back bans on new boilers and petrol cars puts a clear dividing line between the government and Labour.<\/p>\n Keir Starmer now faces a choice of matching the Tories or explaining to voters why they will have to pay exorbitant prices for electric cars or heat pumps in just seven years\u2019 time.<\/p>\n Polling shows voters wants action to protect the environment but was increasingly unhappy about the timescale.<\/p>\n
