But remember guys we don’t have to do anything because of ‘China’. That reasoning was conveniently used by the Tory PM today and was used last week in this thread. I for one am shocked.

A great myth that has been deliberately been put out there.

In the long term the cost of implementing green policies and mitigating against climate change will cost a lot less than business as usual.

Shhhhhhh the powers that be don't want us to know that.

Just thought it was interesting this has happen after that article. Made alot of the points Blair made (China) As Kurosagi pointed out its a battle for the centre ground and you can't really blame Rishi can you? Blair was very good at it. Won three elections.

As I said, the Brits can be so petty minded that that policy alone is likely to result in reelection.

like he used to praise Johnson, and then Truss.

But I guess he liked Johnson for the brexit thing, and liked Truss for the low tax thing, and now likes Sunak for f**k the climate thing (although maybe liked him for the f**k the lockdown thing previously).

did Sunak make up the meat tax and flight tax thing?

Flight tax is for long haul frequent flyers but few details on it.

Meat tax, never heard of it,

[steviewevie]

Actually think there should be a meat tax.

Meat is murder.

Add  a tax cut that has been shown to average a 5% swing in 'the middle' voters.

The large lady is still in bed sleeping and Labour need to realise that.

In other news...... the mentality we are up against is alive and well in Wales!

 

Members of the Welsh parliament have received "abusive and threatening messages" over the controversial 20mph speed limit rollout.

Speaking in the Senedd on Wednesday, the presiding officer Elin Jones said she was one of several members who had received such messages on social media, email and telephone "due to their stance on this topic".
