POPCON PRESS RELEASE: A MAJOR STEP, BUT NOT A LEAP, IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

Popular Conservatism responds to Kemi Badenoch's policy renewal speech

 

Press release: 18th March 2025: 

Responding to Kemi Badenoch’s Conservative Party policy renewal speech today, Mark Littlewood, Director of Popular Conservatism, said:

"This is a major step in the right direction.  Now that net zero by 2050 has been ditched, I hope that Claire Coutinho's committee will go further and pledge to repeal the Climate Change Act and scrap the Climate Change Committee. That would convert the step into a leap. There is an unavoidable trade-off between decarbonisation and cheaper energy. To grow and prosper, the UK needs affordable energy.”
