The climate-obsessed British Prime Minister is reportedly ignoring calls to alleviate the current cost of living crisis by reducing environmental taxes.
The so-called Conservative Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, is said to have ignored advice to lower environmental taxes to alleviate the ongoing cost of living crisis for ordinary Britons.
A temporary suspension of climate-related taxes has been reported in Germany in hopes of reducing the rising costs facing the general public, and an adviser close to Johnson urged him to take similar policy action.
However, according to the report TelegramThe British prime minister reportedly ignored these calls as he had previously promised the UK that he would drastically reduce emissions.
Instead – despite reports that many other Tory lawmakers are also desperately seeking tax cuts – the prime minister appears to be prioritizing his own insane climate projects, having previously promised to ban the sale of internal combustion-engined vehicles in the country. . By 2030 and by 2050 the country should be a “net zero” source of carbon emissions.

Meanwhile, key elements of UK industry began to collapse under the weight of inflation, as one of Britain’s two largest fertilizer plants had to close its doors due to high “environmental taxes” and rising natural gas prices. . .
Faced with severe supply constraints as a result of the war in Ukraine, an important resource for agriculture, the loss of supply from the CF Fertilizer plant in Ince is likely to put the UK’s food supply in a more dangerous position.
“It’s better to have two factories than one because if something goes wrong in one factory, you’re in trouble,” said Nick Allen, CEO of the British Meat Producers Association.
Allen said production cuts could cause serious problems, adding that efforts should be made to keep the second main plant in Billingham up and running.
“You feel more vulnerable to what’s going on out there, you need something to go wrong there,” he continued. “It weakens the whole industry, that’s for sure. We rely more on individual points in the supply chain.”
Meanwhile, the head of the National Farmers’ Association of Great Britain called the plant’s closure “another blow” for its members working in the UK.
“This comes at a time when cost and supply are facing unprecedented risk,” said NFU President Tom Bradshaw. “This shutdown is likely to further constrain global supply and we expect immediate clarification from CF Fertilizers regarding the production capacity of the remaining Billingham plant.”
Meanwhile, a global grain and fertilizer shortage from Ukraine has had a seismic effect on the developing world, with EU ministers warning that another migration crisis from Africa could erupt due to rising costs and falling food security on the African continent. continent.
