Politics vs. the Planet: Who’s Winning?
Politicians often talk about protecting the environment, but their actions don’t always match their words. While some push for real climate policies, others support industries that contribute to pollution and deforestation. They may attend climate summits and launch green initiatives, but real change depends on whether they prioritize sustainability over short-term economic gains. Public pressure plays a key role in holding them accountable and ensuring that environmental policies lead to meaningful action.
Starmer Relaxes Green Rules to Boost UK Car Industry Amid Trump Tariff Fallout
- Sunday, 06 April 2025
Prime Minister Starmer will relax green rules to boost the UK car industry, exempting work vans and supercars from the 2030 ban on new petrol vehicles due to the fallout from Donald Trump’s tariff war. Luxury vehicle manufacturers like Aston Martin, Bentley, and McLaren will be allowed to continue selling petrol-only models beyond the cut-off year. Additionally, the ban on petrol and diesel vans has been delayed until 2035, and swingeing fines on manufacturers have been reduced and postponed.
