Jan RosenowThe UK has been a global leader on climate and has a lot to show for.
Weakening net zero policies will mean losing out on industry investment to other countries, higher costs to consumers and a damage to the UK's reputation internationally.

Gabriele Pollara@janrosenow Personally, this is not really about #NetZero. It's simply signalling <12 months to the next election, making it look to the electorate like they'll save money under this government.
In essence it's like a virtual tax cut, without it actually being one - purely a short-term vote grab. The whole thing will be re-considered after the #election. #UKPolitics #Sunak #Starmer #UK @ChrisMayLA6
BensGreenGamingAc@gpollara @janrosenow @ChrisMayLA6 But it does send a signal to businesses : Don’t plan on anything we say or agree to because we’ll change our minds at a moments notice.
