Rishi Sunak's desperate messaging
The chancellor senses the fact that the government has lost control of energy policy but doesn't know how to deal with it...
Look at the Chancellor of the Exchequer's desperate messaging.
The inevitability of the green agenda causing a cost of living crisis has been stated for many years.
Sunak, his predecessor, their appointees, and their billionaire pals ignored those warnings.
There were easy solutions to those problems. But Tory MPs voted almost unanimously for the Climate Change Act, for the EMR, and for Net Zero, amongst other policies, some of which they simply stole from Ed Miliband.
Tory MPs cheered as serviceable coal-fired power stations were demolished.
They took money from green billionaires.
They defied public opinion.
They rolled out the red carpet for the Extinction Rebellion.
So when @RishiSunak says there are no simple solutions to the problem, he is lying. There is a very simple solution.
Either he cuts off his former employer and other green crony billionaires, and repeals all the policies his party and the opposition made on their behalf, or the problem escalates until the entire lot of them are thrown out of Parliament. There is no third option.
Trying to save #NetZero and the rest of the government's slogan-agendas is just going to mean nothing more than throwing good money after bad. Parliament needs to acknowledge its failures. But can it?
