Tories Need To Axe Boiler Tax To Win Next Election
Campaign group Net Zero Watch says that ‘green’ Conservatives are destroying the party’s last few remaining shreds of electoral hope
It was revealed today that two DESNZ ministers, Graham Stuart and Lord Callanan, threatened to resign if Rishi Sunak cancelled plans for the so-called ‘boiler tax’, which would have seen extra costs loaded onto the sale of new gas boilers.
Threatened with a Parliamentary rebellion by Conservative MPs concerned about the effect on their constituents, and with manufacturers already ramping up prices of new boilers, the Government started to step away from the plan three weeks ago.
It now seems that it is in limbo, with Rishi Sunak caught between the conflicting demands of his backbenchers and the Green blob.
Net Zero Watch director Andrew Montford said:
“The Green fringe are determined to impose even heavier financial burdens on their hard-pressed constituents and on the public in general.
The party must axe the boiler tax to retain its last shreds of electoral hope.”

This is not a government, but a group of dysfunctional people all after their own bit of lawmaking territory.
Let them resign, the country is better off without selfish people that can’t see past their own little power struggles.
More like children, with, “if you don’t do this I’m not your friend” type existence. Sunak needs to go at a minimum, though who replaces him? Cameron, who gave up when the Brexit vote didn’t pan out to his expectations? Wow, what a team of reliable, staunch supporters of what is right.
Remember when the Tory line was, “you don’t give the keys back to the people who crashed the car”?
Right, so they gave them to the people who hold no licence!
PMQs is a downright display of ridicule-worthy behaviour for the world to see. Absolutely shameless people who have no place in authority.

Is anyone convinced there is ANYTHING this devious gang of fake Tories can now do to win anything at all. Their malevolent deceit and pernicious corruption alongside egregious atrocites inflicted will only hasten the “STORM” of violent anger described in Neil Oliver’s latest video.
