The war on motorists is out of control. New schemes designed to make drivers’ lives ever more difficult are being rolled out at an alarming rate across the UK. The new 20mph speed limit introduced in built-up, residential areas of Wales is merely the latest in a long line of anti-car policies. …

Sunak rightly says there is ‘a common misunderstanding from politicians in Westminster about the fact that most people around the country depend on their cars’. This should be obvious to anyone. For far too long a tiny number of well-to-do people who do not need to rely on cars have been imposing their lifestyle on the rest of us.

But the green-leaning media and political set are clearly not going to take any pushback lying down. They have responded to Sunak’s announcement with the incredible claim that there is no war on drivers at all. The green elites are acting like an abusive boyfriend, trying to mess with his girlfriend’s head: ‘What are you talking about? We never tried to stop you driving. You sound completely crazy right now.’
