Former PM urges his successor to keep making progress towards net zero, in a highly unusual intervention on domestic policy
In a statement Mr Johnson said: “Business must have certainty about our Net Zero commitments. This country leads on tackling climate change and in creating new green technology.
“Business and industry – such as motor manufacturing – are rightly making vast investments in these new technologies. It is those investments that will produce a low carbon future – at lower costs for British families. When he left office, Mr Johnson made clear he would continue to champion the issues of Ukraine, Brexit, levelling up and the net zero agenda, but has been broadly restrained in criticising Mr Sunak directly on his domestic policies.
