    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Mr Sunak added that he would give a speech later this week “to set out an important long-term decision we need to make so our country becomes the place I know we all want it to be for our children”.

    In addition, Britons will be told that there will be no new taxes to discourage flying, no government policies to change people’s diets and no measures to encourage carpooling.

    “Rishi Sunak still has time to think again and not make the greatest mistake of his premiership, condemning the UK to missing out on what can be the opportunity of the decade to deliver growth, jobs and future prosperity,” he said.

    Green Party MP, Caroline Lucas called any rollback on net zero “economically illiterate, historically inaccurate and environmentally bone-headed”.

    Former Conservative minister David Jones said modifying green policies was “inevitable and sensible”, adding that pressing on with the 2030 ban on new petrol and diesel cars would “seriously damage the British motor industry”.
