yup

banning gas boilers only makes any sense when 100% of UK electricity
production is carbon free

It can make sense to reduce local pollution.

It depends on what you mean by pollution? There are places where NOx
emissions are significant from NG boilers. Perhaps ban them from cities? :-)

until it is, simply transferring gas use to additional electric use is
just daft

What is daft is charging a higher price per kilowatt of electricity than
gas.

Why when generating electricity creates more CO2?
