Keir Starmer will declare his backing for “British brilliance” with a support package for the car industry in the wake of Donald Trump ’s tariffs.
The Prime Minister has given the go-ahead to watering down rules on selling electric cars to stop the industry being decimated. In a major speech on Monday, Mr Starmer will vow to help "ensure home-grown firms can export British cars" amid “global economic headwinds”. He said that "global trade is being transformed" and businesses need "a government that steps up".
On Monday, the PM will officially restore a 2030 deadline to ban sales of petrol and diesel vehicles after the Tory government pushed it back to 2035. But he will announce hybrid cars, which use either a petrol or diesel engine with an electric battery, such as the Toyota Prius and Nissan e-Power, will be allowed to be sold until 2035 to give the industry more time to prepare.
The support package will also exempt small and micro-volume manufacturers – supercar brands including McLaren and Aston Martin – from the zero-emissions targets. The Government is also going to make it easier for manufacturers who do not comply with Government-mandated sales targets to avoid fines.
Green campaigners responded with confusion at the news and said there was “no real logic” to watering down the target on hybrid vehicles. But the Department for Transport insisted it will give “certainty, stability, and support” to Britain’s car industry, which is facing more than 25,000 job losses due to Mr Trump’s trade war.

During the week of the overwhelmingly approval poll:
<><>Trump was crucified nightly by the Legacy Media for even considering reciprocal tariffs.
<><>doomsday-speak was everywhere but had only one effect
<><>to surge Trump’s approval numbers.
<><>Trump’s job approval rose four points during Tariff Week, 49 to 53%.
<><>over 1000 voters polled between March 31 and April 3.
<><>Since March 7, young voters 18 and 29 approval jumped 13 points.
<><>Among Independents and Democrats, Trump enjoyed a six-point increase.
<><>Most telling, black voters approval jumped 17 points in a single week.
<><>most support Trump’s tariffs——39% support, 37% oppose, 24% were unsure.
<><>and “significantly approve reducing” illegals coming in, 69% yes, only 26% no.
All of it is after the Regime Media coordinated a regime-wide tantrum over DOGE, the ridiculous SignalGate nothingburger, and the hoax about a gang member deported to El Salvador in error. Normal People see right through it.
What do the British produce other than tea?
Revolutions...
Idiot
“”What do the British produce other than tea?””
Muslim rape gangs?
Fish and chips?
Indians and Muslims will pick over the bones of the British Empire.
Keir “Fredo” Starmer. “I’m smart!!!”
Well they do produce those marvels of British Manufacturing:
Lucas automotive electrics and electronics.
And nuts and bolts with Whitworth threads.
So at least they got that goin' for em.
Considering how Pakistanis and Indians get along on their home turf that is going to be bloody violent.
the UK does produce some awesome cheeses ...
No, businesses need a government that steps aside and stays out of the way. It is always so.
🤔
Don’t get me started on Lucas electrical, my first sports car was an Austin Healey 3000, two seater.
Bulbs failed frequently, when you finally got all the bulbs working, the generator couldn’t keep up. Fun times.
Remember when Britannia ruled the waves?
She could again.
A big shiny turd
Oh, yeah. I learned to drive in an Austin-Healey 3000. 100 mph on the freeway and when I got back my Dad educated me as to what “re-treads” were. Dropped a u-joint in town and coasted to a parking place. The bulbs didn’t glow, they were differently dark... I loved that car.
