The Wind and Sun made 45% of Britain’s electricity last year. Nobody can stop the Green revolution - not Trump, not Musk and not Farage. It’s a literal and metaphorical force of nature. theguardian.com/environment/…

.@RishiSunak was like the Wizarrd of Oz today - just said as much on @SkyPoliticsHub with @SophyRidgeSky & @JustineGreening (who talks a lot of sense). My overwhelming impression is that nothing really happened today - the pushing back of the fossil fuel car ban will undermine confidence in the UK, but won’t slow down the transition to electric cars - because the industry are on it. This was really just a pose. The gas boiler thing was totally something and nothing.  And the rest was all made up - there was no policy to have seven bins, tax meat or flying. In classic Sunak style, he denied he was doing exactly what he was - making a short term political move at the expense of the long term.  Fortunately he doesn’t have a long term in No.10. But seeking to polarise public opinion around a false narrative (we can only have green or cheap) to give himself some toehold in the election, that’s beyond contempt.

Sunak is breathtakingly dishonest. From his shameless claim that Starmer’s policy to stop drilling in the North Sea (entirely as per international scientific & political consensus) was bought by donations from an environmentalist, to his claims that his own rogue policies to start drilling will benefit the country - it really is little more than a lie when the facts say the exact opposite (it can’t lower energy bills or give us security). But perhaps we can understand his approach a little better today - @RishiSunak's family may not be unemployed or disabled but they are on state benefits - that’s how this $1.5 billion contract looks to me. And that too is breathtakingly dishonest.
