Sir Keir Starmer’s plans to relax net zero rules will fail to boost demand for electric vehicles (EVs), carmakers have warned, as the industry reels from Donald Trump’s tariffs. The Prime Minister unveiled plans on Sunday to soften electric vehicle (EV) targets for carmakers, including pushing back a ban on the sale of hybrids and providing exemptions for supercar manufacturers producing petrol cars.

In its manifesto, Labour said it would push through a ban of new petrol and diesel cars by 2030. The target had previously been delayed to 2035 by Rishi Sunak's Conservative government. On Monday, Sir Keir said he would stick by the ban, although he would relax regulations around manufacturing targets and the sales of new hybrids that cannot be plugged in, which will be permitted until 2035.

Electric arc furnaces (EAFs), by comparison, produce steel from recycled scrap. This means that producing higher grades can only be done if the scrap is of a certain quality. Still, providing the blast furnaces can be kept going or are eventually replaced by EAFs, there is no technical reason why British firms cannot provide all kinds of steel for defence projects and other uses, argues Jon Harrison, head of regulatory affairs at UK Steel, an industry lobby group.

Brands including Rolls-Royce, Jaguar and Aston Martin are among the most exposed. Other industries at risk include pharmaceuticals. Britain exported £8.8bn of pharmaceuticals to the US in 2023, including medicines and vaccines.

The Chancellor has painted herself into a corner as 'the mother of all rebellions' loomsAfter 265 days in the job, 27 tax rises and seven photo ops in a hi-vis jacket, Rachel Reeves will stand up in Parliament on Wednesday to deliver what will be a mini-Budget in all but name. The backdrop for the Chancellor is bleak. Inflation is rising, borrowing costs are up and the economy is flatlining at best. It has forced her to cut public spending and squeeze welfare in order to balance the books.

The Federal Reserve has been backed into "an uncomfortable spot" by Donald Trump as it prepares to announce its latest decision on interest rates, a Wall Street banking giant has warned. JP Morgan said the Fed would be keen to "avoid making news" but would face questions on the impact of the US president's tariff plans on the world's largest economy. Money markets indicate the US central bank is almost certain to leave interest rates on hold later today in their range of 4.25pc to 4.5pc.
