Dr Benny Peiser, the Global Warming Policy Foundation’s director said:
“Nigel Lawson has been with us from the beginning, as friend, mentor and colleague. His stoic wisdom and his political and economic realism made him one of the greatest politicians of modern Britain. He played a key part in Britain’s economic and cultural rejuvenation. His courage in taking on climate dogmatism was ahead of the times and is only now getting traction as the astronomical costs of Net Zero begin to bite. His wisdom and insights will be missed by us all.”
Lord Lawson on the Government’s ‘Green Industrial Revolution’…
“If the Government were trying to damage the economy they couldn’t be doing it better.
Moreover, the job creation mantra is economically illiterate. A programme to erect statues of Boris in every town and village in the land would also ‘create jobs’ but that doesn’t make it a sensible thing to do.”
Speaking to Sky News off the back of Rachel Reeves’ Air Passenger Duty hike, Ryanair chief executive Michael O’Leary said:
“Labour is dependent on those Red Wall seats, and yet every move she makes poisons economic growth and damages the UK’s recovery… it’s the Chancellor who stumbles from policy misstep to policy misstep… I think her policy decisions are incredibly stupid.”
