Labour's war on motorists now includes eclectic vehicles

Natasha Asghar

Responding to Labour’s Deputy Transport Minister saying that the Welsh Government wants to reduce demand for private car travel even in the case of electric vehicles, Natasha Asghar MS, Shadow Transport Minister, said:

“It’s clear that this policy is not motivated by concern for the climate, but by the Deputy Minister’s hatred for private car use.

“Private EVs can play a crucial part in reducing emissions, but Labour are so committed to the war on motorists that they want to undermine that potential.

“The Deputy Minister should stop listening to his lycra-clad lobbyist friends who seem to hate any four-wheel vehicle, wake-up and realise the benefits of electric vehicle use for our environment.”
