Rishi Sunak's - a long list of broken campaign promises, that spells more of the same.

Rishi Sunak appears to be a rather more desperate captain of a sinking ship than we thought, a conservative government in deep shit debt wise, having failed to attain his election promises.

It is possible that the country is too far gone, to prevent a Titanic sinking, and now Rishi is turning the other cheek on climate cooling policies, as a modern Doctor Death perhaps, condemning millions more to contracting lung cancer, from petrol and diesel fumes. As ihabitants of cities and large towns will be forced to endure another five years of carcinogenic particulates. How can Mr Sunack equate with that. Especially, where car makers are gearing up for the market. Expecting the Parliament to make good on their promises, to support such world leading policies, with an infrastructure to match.

And there lies the problem. The Tories appear to have no idea how to implement, and still have a hankering for fossil fuel revenues. Whereas, energy independence and technology leadership that comes with being at the cutting edge, could more than make up for lost oil revenues. Surpass them, even.

Not only that, but if Labour, or an alliance with the Liberal Democrats, or Green Party, yields a more positive outlook, that the automotive world prefer. Then, the re-election gamble will have backfired.

GBN NEWS 25 SEPTEMBER 2023 - MAJOR CAR BRAND TO IGNORE RISHI SUNACK'S CAR BAN DELAY GOING ALL-ELECTRIC BEFORE 2030

Car manufacturing giant Nissan has pledged to go ahead with its all-electric plans despite the rollback of the 2030 petrol and diesel car sales ban.

The Japanese brand said all new models in Europe would be entirely electric by the end of the decade.

This follows the announcement from Rishi Sunak where he delayed a number of net zero proposals including moving the 2030 ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel vehicles to 2035.

The Prime Minister said consumers should be able to make the decision to buy an electric car and the Government should not “force” people to do it.

He highlighted how electric car costs are reducing, the range is improving and the charging infrastructure is growing, but said the upfront cost was still an issue for families.

The decision was met with mixed responses from industry experts and drivers, with some highlighting how the UK is now in line with other major economies, while others believed it would slow the uptake of electric cars.

The company confirmed that it would be “pressing ahead with plans to achieve 100 per cent EV [production] in Europe by 2030, with all new Nissan models from now to be all-electric in Europe”.

Makoto Uchida, Nissan president and chief executive, said: “There is no turning back now.

“EVs powered by renewables are key to us achieving carbon neutrality, which is central to our Ambition 2030 vision.

“Nissan will make the switch to full electric by 2030 in Europe – we believe it is the right thing to do for our business, our customers and for the planet.”

Before the self-imposed 2030 deadline, Nissan hopes to introduce 19 full-electric models and eight hybrid cars, the Guardian reported.

Further proposals include the rollout of “cobalt-free” technology to bring down the cost of EV batteries by a staggering 65 per cent.

Many companies are striving to create batteries with a far quicker recharge time, with Nissan doing the same.

With the aim of launching in 2028, Nissan hopes to manufacture a battery that can cut the time it takes to charge a car by one-third.

The Yokohama-based company also pledged to spend £35million on the Nissan Design Europe building in London, with the brand celebrating the 20 anniversary of its opening.

This will boost the number of staff, accelerate the development of technology and upgrade the facilities on site.

Nissan has held a presence in the UK for decades, with its Tyneside manufacturing plant supporting the jobs of 6,000 people.

Some of the brand’s most popular vehicles are produced at the Sunderland plant including the Qashqai, the Juke SUV and the ground-breaking Nissan Leaf.

As part of a previous £1billion investment in the production plant, Nissan will launch two new EVs, with one dubbed to be a successor to the popular Micra model.

[Three cheers for Nissan. Boo, hiss, to the Prime blocker to advancement, the present Tory party]

THE GUARDIAN 26 SEPTEMBER 2023 - UK ELECTRIC CAR SALES RISK FALLING FURTHER BEHIND

The UK has fallen well behind the rest of Europe in the growth of electric vehicle sales and risks falling further back after Rishi Sunak’s “screeching U-turn” on its climate policies, according to industry analysts.

UK sales of electric vehicles grew by 31% in the 12 months to July, one of the slowest rates of growth in Europe, according to data analysed by Cornwall Insight and the law firm Shoosmiths.

The research revealed the UK’s electric vehicle (EV) growth rate fell well behind the near 61% increase in sales across the 27 EU nations. The report blamed a lack of public charging infrastructure in the UK, and warned that the government’s decision to delay a ban on the sale of new combustion engine vehicles could shake investor confidence.

The prime minister announced plans to push back the ban on new fossil fuel vehicles from 2030 until 2035 as part of a significant watering down of the government’s key climate policies designed to help Britain become net zero by 2050.

The unexpected U-turn has led to confusion among carmakers and electric vehicle infrastructure investors by raising uncertainty over how soon British drivers will make the switch to electric options. This could further delay expansion of charging networks, according to the report.

The analysis found the UK now has 11.3 electric vehicles for every publicly accessible charge point, leading to “range anxiety” for drivers considering buying an electric vehicle for longer journeys.

In the Netherlands there is 2.8 electric vehicles for each public charge point, while Sweden and Germany have 8.4 and 12.8 respectively, according to the data for Shoosmiths’ electric vehicle country attractiveness (EVCA) index.

Jamie Maule, a research analyst at Cornwall Insight, said the challenges to the UK’s electric vehicle rollout risked being compounded by Sunak’s decision to delay the ban on sales of new combustion engine vehicles.

The prime minister also signalled a slowdown in the phasing out of gas boilers and promised to scrap a requirement for landlords to make their properties energy efficient.

“This threatens to erode the country’s momentum in shifting away from traditional fossil fuel cars,” Maule said. He added: “Only by reaffirming our commitment to EV infrastructure growth, bolstering incentives, and rekindling investor and consumer confidence, can the UK reclaim lost ground and position itself among the leading nations in Europe for EV adoption.”

The index found Norway was the most attractive country in which to invest in electric vehicles, followed by the Netherlands, France and Germany. The UK ranked eighth in the league table of 15 European nations, down two places from last year.

Chris Pritchett, a partner at Shoosmiths, said carmakers and chargepoint operators were investing billions in the electric transition “but the government’s screeching U-turn on policy threatens new investment into the UK’s wider green industry”.

He added: “More importantly, it frames net zero as a political wedge issue ahead of the election which is clearly – and unforgivably – aimed at dividing the consensus on meaningful climate action.”

FOSSIL FOOLS - Geriatric politicians with 'climate-senile' policies will find in difficult to break away from their corrupt ways, as part time politicians with two jobs. Their main job being to find paid consultancy work, rather than craft policies and create statute that works to protect our voters from lung cancer, energy shortages and a lack of affordable (sustainable) housing.

The 'zerophobics' are the undertakers of the political world, sending millions of ordinary people to an early grave, while loading us with NHS, hospital and staff costs that would not be needed if we had clean air in our cities.

Basically, the longer you are in politics, the more likely you are to be exposed to bribes, from climate deniers, mostly fossil fuel and energy companies, looking to keep on pumping toxic fumes into the atmosphere, so they can keep making money. The political undertakers are working with them to keep hospitals stocked with cancer victims, adding to the £Trillions we owe as part of the national debt. Under Boris and Rishi Sunack, pensioner's saving have halved in real terms. They are blood sucking vampires, draining what little you had saved for your retirement.
