Countries get out over their skis and looks like M5Rick beat some a$$ in the UK and they are walking things back a little.

Yes ! It's going ahead, ban on gas and diesel new car sales delayed until 2035 confirmed by P M, same as in the States.
Now for the next stage to dispel the climate crisis lie and keep our gas cars without more gubment interference.
