Sunak to ease energy efficiency requirements in rented homes to not 'overburden landlords'

Rishi Sunak is planning to delay energy efficiency targets and overhaul what is being required of landlords to not "overburden" them with the costs of making a green switch, a Whitehall source told Sky News.

Rishi Sunak is planning to delay energy efficiency targets for rented homes following pressure from landlords about the cost of the improvements.

The overhaul is part of a wider review of the government's environmental policies, which some Tory MPs fear are too expensive and will hurt the party's chances at the next general election.

The current proposals would see all new tenancies required to have an energy performance certificate (EPC) rating of C or above by 2025 - where A is the best and G is the worst - with this expanded to all existing tenancies by 2028.

The policy is intended to reduce bills for tenants and stop leaky homes adding to emissions, but on Tuesday night, a Whitehall source pointed to the cost it would have on landlords.

They told Sky News: "We remain committed to our environmental objectives but we cannot overburden landlords facing cost of living pressures...we support delaying requirements for new minimum energy efficiency requirements in the private rented sector."

Worth keeping an eye on - don't want to overburden landlords but if it goes through he won't mind overburdening renters while wasting energy.

All those rent increases will pay for energy improvements ffs.

There's something so parochial and "Little Britain" about the Prime Minister of a G7 country choosing to put himself on the front page of a serious broadsheet newspaper about his concerted attack against the requirement to drive slowly through residential areas.

All because the papers decided that some people in Uxbridge voted in a parliamentary by-election based on a local governement policy that their new MP would have no control over.

He's definitely on an anti-woke drive this week.

And ignored the ~1000 people who voted green

To start with, but I think they've got a wider strategy than that now. I think it's building to for them use climate & environmental measures more generally as an important area to fight the next election on as sadly I think it will have some popular traction as it'll be spun as an attack on those mythical 'ordinary people'.

I reckon he'll be out of Number 10 by Xmas

Please, pretty please.

It is proper desperate shit particularly when you consider that more people across the political spectrum want green policies enacted and seem to be genuinely concerned about climate change:

Ditching green policies may not be the vote winner Sunak expects

The perception ‘red wall’ voters don’t care about the climate crisis is not backed up by evidence

And ignores the increasingly large pressures from people moving northwards from southern countries that will become less and less livable in. Mind you, he probably sees that as not his problem if they're planning on losing the election.

Yes, shilling for corporate oil dressed as "insurgency" politics...something that will play well in their private focus groups amassed from punters who drive to the pollster's venue to pick up their cash-in-hand 'expenses'.

Yeah, but they're attempting to shore up their core/cunt vote.

There's been a mild backlash against attempts to improve some local areas in Bristol which are blighted by traffic and dangerous driving. It's bizarre to me that some people get so angry about people that want to make our neighbourhoods more liveable.

It's definitely those sort of voters they are targeting with this shite.

 

[spitfire]

I don’t think he’s ignored them. The 1000+ that voted green would have won it for labour. Having seen Kieth’s reaction to “losing it because of ULEZ” Sunaks lot think they can drag labour further towards them with labour losing votes to the greens. I think it’s equal amounts push/pull.

Yes, it doesn’t exist and the aviation industry has missed something like 95% of its targets

There's no greedy, bent cunts thread so it will have to go here.

Sunak's family firm signed a billion-dollar deal with BP before PM opened new North Sea licences

The CEO of one of Infosys' other major clients, Shell, also joined Rishi Sunak's new business council two weeks ago.

I wonder how sympathetic the CAMRA crowd would be!
