BRITS must not be hit by “hairshirt” policies in the drive for Net Zero, Rishi Sunak warned last night.
The PM said families must not be clobbered by higher bills in the transition to going green.
But he insisted the commitment to hit Net Zero by 2050 should be kept because, done right, it will boost jobs and growth.
Speaking at the G20 summit in New Delhi, Mr Sunak said: “The Net Zero story for me shouldn’t be a hairshirt story of giving everything up and your bills going up.
“That’s not the vision of Net Zero that I think is the right one for the UK.”
