Tory MPs Are Dreading The Next Election, Even If Jeremy Hunt Has Calmed Markets
Jeremy Hunt's long-awaited Autumn Statement managed to avert market panic and so far, a Tory rebellion, but Conservative MPs are still worried for their chances at the next General Election. In fact, they fear Hunt's gloomy grappling with the country's finances may have made their prospects even worse.

The road to transport decarbonisation and the legacy it will leave
Much attention is given to the nationwide transition to electric vehicles (EVs) due to its important position within the Government’s Net Zero Strategy. Some progress has been made; the UK Climate Change Committee’s most recent progress report found that purchases of EVs more than doubled between 2020 and 2021. However, we are currently forecast to only reach 36% of private vehicles being EV by 2030 when the Government ban on the sale of petrol and diesel vehicles commences. There are still barriers to overcome with a lack of public charging infrastructure a key concern for would be EV adopters, particularly those without access to off-street parking. Despite this, the pace of change across the UK is encouraging.
