Daily Mail  

Sir Keir Starmer unveiled yet another green target yesterday - triggering warnings that people will have to give up meat and dairy or replace their gas boilers to meet it. The Azerbaijan president Ilham Aliyev insisted countries should not be embarrassed about selling fossil fuels Keir Starmer committed the UK to a massive cut in carbon emissions at the COP29 summit today Asked about the CCC's recommendations, he said: 'The target is my target and the plan is my plan, I'm not borrowing from somebody's else's plan.' 'The Climate Change Committee has said this target will require, for an example, an accelerated shift away from meat and dairy, less travel and a gas boiler ban for the British people, and yet the Government's approach would see our reliance on Chinese imports - a country which is 60per cent powered by coal - go through the roof. Sir Keir met World Bank President Ajay Banga in Baku this morning Keir Starmer, pictured holding a financial roundtable, insisted Britain can show the way on climate change as he attended the the COP29 summit today Sir Keir is laying out a target for the UK to slash 81 per cent off carbon emissions by 2035, compared to 1990 levels The UN's climate change chief Simon Stiell hailed the plans, saying they set a powerful example to other G20 nations. Ms Coutinho later said: 'The Climate Change Committee has said Keir Starmer's new target would mean Brits would need to eat less meat and travel less by air and car.
