What was billed with huge hype as the government’s ‘green day’ turns out to be a weak and feeble groundhog day of re-announcements. UK admits revised net zero strategy will fail to hit emission targets - https://t.co/hD8FIBrFSe via @FT
Labour’s world-leading plan: ✅Zero carbon power by 2030 ✅Insulating 19m homes in a decade ✅GB Energy, a publicly owned energy company ✅A National Wealth Fund to invest in industry Our plan would cut bills, create jobs, give us energy security and tackle the climate crisis. https://t.co/YOqUG41rHX
‘Green Day’ summarised: ❌ No removal of the onshore wind ban ❌ No new money for energy efficiency ❌ No net zero mandate for Ofgem ❌ No proper response to Biden’s IR Act 🌍 And worst of all, an admission that govt is breaking commitments made at COP26 https://t.co/brRXEazd95

Here we have it confirmed that the government is breaking the promise they made to the world at COP26. Today's strategy will not meet their 2030 NDC climate target. This is a disaster. It puts beyond all reasonable doubt that the Conservatives are failing on climate action https://t.co/IrWEQnJkwX
For all these thousands of pages, the documents obscure in weasel words the startling admission that these plans do not meet the Government's 2030 NDC commitment - the centrepiece of their pledges at COP26. https://t.co/Tw0AkCfXal
This is a government out of ideas and out of touch. Only Labour has a plan to make Britain a clean energy superpower, with a plan for clean power by 2030 and GB Energy, our publicly-owned energy company, to cut energy bills, strengthen energy security, and create good jobs
... which is costing families hundreds of pounds on bills , no new investment for energy efficiency which could cut bills, no response to the Inflation Reduction Act which could help Britain win the global race for clean energy jobs
What was billed with huge hype as the government’s “green day” turns out to be a weak and feeble groundhog day of re-announcements, reheated policy, and no new investment. These announcements are most notable for their glaring omissions: no removal of the onshore wind ban...
Jeremy Hunt is an out of date Tory politician, placing the UK outside the emerging mainstream, from Washington to Berlin, that modern industrial policy requires active government, investing in partnership with business. Britain can’t afford another 5 years of this approach.
