“Let’s spend £4.5 trillion on net zero over the next 25 years. Let’s increase taxes to pay for net zero. Let’s ban new oil and gas licences in the North Sea but spaff away £40billion buying North Sea oil and gas from Norway. Let’s buy coking coal shipments worth £7.2million from Japan but ban UK coal mining. Let’s plaster thousands of acres of farmland with solar panels but spend £50million on sun dimming experiments. Let’s give huge renewable energy construction contracts to China. Lets fail to improve gas storage facilities, Let’s give Drax an estimated £1.8billlion in taxpayer funded subsidies on top of the £11billion it has already received despite Drax burning an amount of wood equivalent to 300 million trees. Let’s give £1billion this year alone to wind power companies not to generate power from their wind turbines. And let’s spend £30billion of taxpayers’ money on carbon capture machines but put pensioners, farmers and the disabled into financial peril by claiming there’s a £22bn black hole.”

Ed Miliband’s Net Zero fantasy is now hitting reality. We’re on the brink of importing salt, a resource Britain has produced for generations. This isn’t climate leadership. It’s industrial self sabotage. And it’s our children who’ll inherit the cost.

This government is committed to fighting your corner. ✅Over £50m of support for low income families who use heating oil ✅Help for vulnerable households ✅Better consumer protections We’re standing up for the British people.
