PM hits out at prejudice' against environmental agenda as he rejects idea of ending green levies on bills

Boris Johnson has attacked prejudice" against environmental policies, as he rejected the idea of ditching green levies on household energy bills to tackle the cost of living crisis.

Senior Tories including Steve Baker, who separately called on Johnson to resign over the Partygate revelations, have urged the prime minister to remove the levies, which are set to cost about 153 per household this year and are used to fund energy efficiency measures and renewables.
