Brit here re: Mark Carney
(ex Governor- Bank of England).
He was one of very few who behaved professionally after the Brexit vote, standing up for interviews and explaining/taking action.
He has backbone.
For contrast, 'Boris' shat himself and went into hiding.
Also worth a mention is that Liz Truss crashed the UK economy and can't be trusted.
Thinking that Labour (and EU) clean energy projects won't sit well with the big oil producers.
USA, Russia, Gulf, 'Stans' etc are all likely involved in the sustained RtWng push against progressive North European Governments.
Blood oil has been driving conflict for decades.
Enough.
