This …yet today in the Lords his party pushed through a carbon tax on ferry journeys which even his govt admits will disproportionately affect N Ireland and raises prices. His actions are at odds with his words…again!!

NI relies on maritime transport for ~90% of our trade and passenger movement 🚢
That’s why we opposed the extension of the ETS to domestic maritime routes. It’s effectively a carbon tax that won’t decarbonise shipping and the costs will simply be passed on to consumers and businesses 💷
Deeply regret that SF, SDLP and Alliance voted together to support it.
Northern Ireland deserves policies that support real decarbonisation not measures that just increase costs.
❌🌍
New green shipping tax introduced by the UK Government could raise operator costs by around 6%, according to @Telegraph.
For NI, which is so reliant on sea connectivity, this means higher costs for businesses and an increase in the cost of living.
