A new report from Grayling Energy has torched any lingering belief that Ed Miliband’s pipe dream of net zero by 2030 is remotely achievable. Out of over 2,000 respondents, a solid 55% of the public say the clean power target is unattainable, while a paltry 9% strongly believing the target is achievable. Ed’s bluster about a carbon-free utopia is seen by the public as just more hot air…
A whopping 58% of Brits would back a delay to net zero if it meant dodging blackouts and soaring bills while, 61% say cutting energy costs should be the government’s top priority, more than double those who think decarbonisation comes first (just 25%). Shadow Scotland secretary Andrew Bowie said:
“Kemi Badenoch has been clear – the current Net Zero by 2050 is impossible. We must change course. We need a properly thought through approach, not more hot air from Net Zero nutters intent on leaving us all weaker, poorer and less secure.”
In Labour internal voices against Miliband’s agenda are getting louder…
Red Wall Labour backbencher Jonathan Brash told GB News that Starmer should resign:
“I’m completely fed up about it, and I think it’s got to the point now where I genuinely think that, as far as the Prime Minister is concerned, it’s not a case of if, it’s when.”
