Senior Tories express unease over Sunak’s intention to roll back climate policies

Tory MPs who have championed net zero policies furious at PM's plans to delay or water down green measures

Proposals to delay or water down green measures, such as pushing back the dates for ending sales of petrol and diesel cars, and gas boilers, are likely to be fleshed out later this week.
