The CBI have launched an all-out assault on Amber Rudd’s plans to cut green crap this morning, with their director General John Cridland briefing the newspapers that the cuts will send a “worrying signal” to business. He sounds a bit like a Greenpeace spokesman…

“The green economy is an emerging market in its own right, brimming with opportunity… Yet, with the roll-back of renewables policies and the mixed messages on energy efficiency, the government risks sending a worrying signal to businesses… We need all countries to pull in the same direction at the Paris Climate Summit (in November) to give firms the certainty and confidence they need to invest in the green economy for the long run”.

What is it about businesses with guaranteed government backed revenue that the big biz Brexit scaremongers at the CBI like so much?
