It is alarming to think that Ed Miliband, the author of the Climate Change Act 2008, and the creator of the authoritarian Climate Change Committee organisation may soon be back in power after the general election. He has already set out his plans to increase taxes even further on oil and gas companies producing in the North Sea. He will issue no new oil and gas licences.

The ban on reliable diesel and petrol cars will be pushed back to 2030 and the targets forcing manufacturers to sell an increasing number of battery powered cars will remain. Ford and Stellantis have already said that they will restrict the sale of combustion vehicles as a result. A villain in Labour's transport drama is the mayor of the UK's largest city, Sadiq Khan whose road penalties will undoubtedly be spread further as will his freedom-restricting 15 minute neighbourhood plans.
