TOI correspondent from London: Britain's record-breaking May heatwave has raised political temperatures too as the Conservatives pledge to reverse national net-zero building regulations banning air-conditioning in new homes, going back on rules introduced by their party during Boris Johnson's premiership.
"Why should Britain be one of the only countries to not have air-conditioning? The next Conservative govt will get rid of the anti-growth air-con ban," Goan-heritage MP Claire Coutinho, UK's shadow energy secretary, said.
