Ed Miliband urges UK to stick to net zero, cites over £100bn private pledges
Energy Secretary Ed Miliband told delegates at London Climate Action Week that the UK must stick to its net zero targets, citing more than £100 billion in private-sector investment pledged during this parliament. He said net-zero policy can deliver jobs and economic growth, pointing to booming clean-economy activity and the scale of private pledges as evidence the transition is already attracting capital. Miliband argued maintaining net zero is central to any reindustrialisation strategy because factories and manufacturing investment will electrify, so the government’s choice will determine whether the UK captures those clean-economy jobs and investment.
Imagine having to say that the Uk needs to stick to Net Zero during a 40'C heatwave. OF COURSE WE NEED TO STICK TO NET ZERO YOU DRIBBLING HALFWITS www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Insightful piece from @stephenkb.bsky.social on how Burnham might save Labour and the Tories from Reform. He may well be right - but is a Conservative party committed to mass deportations, abandoning Net Zero and leaving the ECHR really an upgrade on Faragism? It doesn't look that way to me.
Stephen Bush7The Tories have to want to be saved, rather than to go down their present road.
Éamann Mac Donnchada3I've gone right off SKB even on Brit politics, I mean stuff like this "an irate and depressed business sector ". That's the eternal condition of the business sector and in all countries, big business in Spain is making money like never before but talks like Spain was north korea
