As is likely they choose the first option will they then be open and upfront and explain to the workers how personal transport is now only for the capitalist elite only? You know, industrialists, footballers, politicians. Rich people.

They’ll carry on with the eco babble. They make too much money off scamming the motorists.

Are they going to dial back the ICE cut off point to 2030? They were making noises about doing that if they got into power. But? Will they.

Things are only a bad idea when you’re in opposition.

Reality dawns when you’re not.

I personally don’t think they will tbh. No doubt they have an excuse to maintain the 2035 target blaming infrastructure etc etc

I'm offended. Weasels wouldn't stoop so low.

The won't. If they get in, which seems likely at the moment, it will be 2-3 years of paralysis as the party explodes. Whilst the current mob are borderline hopeless, the Labour Party is so fractiously divided it wont be able to make a decision on anything contentious. This is why Kier Starmers answer to everything is "oh dear the people of britain deserve better..." he can't announce any new plans or strategies as more than a half of his party will come gunning for him, some of them manipulated by Blair and Corbyn who should both be in jail.

I thought that was already changed to 2035?

The way I see it is the current leader of the Tories and a potential new PM from Labour are both no good. Its bad no matter what way we look at it.

Its easy for Starmer to point the finger from the opposition bench, but what's he going to do different? I think Starmer will be just as bad as Sunak, if not worse. Starmer always says that the British people deserve better. Let's see how he does when he's in the hot seat, which he likely will be.

I think people are just sick to the teeth of the Tories and will vote Labour to finally get rid of the Tories. I don't think its because they "like" Starmer.
