Financial Times – Sunak sparks business backlash after U-turn on net zero pledges

The Financial Times leads on the backlash against PM Rishi Sunak’s plans to push back the government’s net zero promises. Several car makers have heavily criticised the move.

The paper says PM Sunak has “ignited a business backlash” and quotes Lisa Brankin, chair of Ford UK, saying the business needs “three things from the UK government: ambition, commitment, and consistency. A relaxation of 2030 would undermine all three”.

The paper adds that Labour has pledged to reinstate the 2030 deadline for petrol cars if it wins the next election.
