58% : He will also not accompany the King on his state visit to France, where he will host a forum tomorrow to urge action on emissions.
56% : Changing the diesel and petrol ban would bring the UK into line with the EU, which has set 2035 as its deadline.
51% : What I also agree with is we need to adopt an approach of pragmatism and balance and we need to make sure that we achieve that goal but in a sustainable way and in a way that doesn't impose undue and disproportionate costs on families and households, on workers.'Mr Sunak could also announce there will be no new levies to discourage flying.
50% : 'It is crucial that we give those businesses confidence that government is still committed to net zero and can see the way ahead.
50% : What I also agree with is we need to adopt an approach of pragmatism and balance and we need to make sure that we achieve that goal but in a sustainable way and in a way that doesn't impose undue and disproportionate costs on families and households, on workers.'Pushing back the petrol and diesel ban from 2030 to 2035 is a victory for the Mail's campaign to rethink the deadline.
41% : However in his Downing Street address, Mr Sunak accused previous governments - Labour and Conservative - of trying to reach net zero 'simply by wishing it'.He was seemingly bumped into action - which included an unscheduled Cabinet conference call this morning - after the changes broke last night.
