Prime Minister Keir Starmer has confirmed the Government will reinstate the 2030 ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars. This will mark a significant milestone in the UK's push toward a more sustainable, electric-powered future and reverses Rishi Sunak’s delay to 2035.
The ban, originally introduced in 2017 and moved forward under Boris Johnson, aims to reduce carbon emissions and align the UK with global efforts to meet net-zero targets. While new hybrid vehicles will still be allowed until 2035,
The government has introduced new flexibilities in the Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) mandate to help manufacturers adjust. While stricter thresholds are being introduced, the fines for non-compliance have been reduced from £15,000 to £12,000 per vehicle, and smaller manufacturers like McLaren and Lotus are now exempt.

The Great Britain that was.
INSANITY....................
The muzzies will control them before this goes in to effect
You keep saying that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Highly restrictive solution to a non-existent problem. Guess they’ll just have to arrest anyone who publicly disagrees.
The WEF at work......
My first thought too.
2030 is REAL close.
Is that commie Starmer going to transform his foggy isles to a climate of sunshine, and warm constant breezes?
“more sustainable, electric-powered future”
What an idiot spewing bullshit. How, exactly, does mining hundreds of millions of tons of rare earths, copper, other exotic elements make something “sustainable”?
The UK is a lost cause, irrelevant. They don’t make anything anyone wants anymore; they can’t protect themselves and they’re overrun with Muzzys who refuse to assimilate.
Guess now it’s simple britain. Starmer? Fookin’ idjit!
“The Great Britain that was.”
It’s not a country, it’s a museum.
Thank God I live under a rock. Hopefully these morons won’t find me before I’m worm food.
...and this clown thinks that he can defeat PETROL-GUZZLING Russia on the battlefield.
LOL!!!
This is the same level of destruction that Merkel brought down on Germany. The aims are the same: devastate the existing infrastructure, because reasons, and the replacement infrastructure will be there on time and work great, we promise. Meanwhile, they're laying oceanic high-voltage cables from the north coast of Scotland out to the Shetland Islands, because they can't make even that small area work on wind power only... and the "best" wind farm in the area is nearby.
Gas companies should close immediately. Anticipatory repudiation …
Why hurt us later when we can hurt you now.

The Maoists are firmly in charge in Britain...and will be until July 2029.
