Dozens of Labour MPs have written to Sir Keir Starmer and three Cabinet ministers demanding the Government looks at watering down its net zero commitment to drive sales of electric vehicles amid fears that UK car makers might have to shed jobs.

Mansfield MP Steve Yemm told GB News' Chopper's Political Podcast that up to 40 Labour MPs - more than one in 10 of all Labour MPs - had written to the ministers urging a rethink of targets to end all sales of new petrol and diesel cars by 2030.

Car makers were having to discount the sales of new electric vehicles to hit ever-increasing proportion of electric sales.

Under current UK policy, new petrol/diesel cars will be banned from 2030, with all new cars required to be zero-emission by 2035.

Mr Yemm said that between 30 and 40 Labour MPs had written to Sir Keir Starmer, the Prime Minister, Rachel Reeves, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Heidi Alexander, the Transport secretary and Peter Kyle, the Business secretary, calling for a review.
