Is one of the biggest hypocrites in the govt.
While continually preaching to US about net zero he is clocking up thousands of miles and a huge carbon footprint as HE flies around the around the world for meetings on climate change.
Labour? Just call them liars

And none of them have actually worked in industry.

There has been much hype about the new theme park to be built near Bedfrod. How muchof the equipmentwill be made in the UK?

THere may be jobs when it is finished and operating, but they are not in manufacturing and you don't export a ride.

And not ONE Tory minister flew around in private jets and helicopters did they? I mean, that would make them hypocrites and liars as well, wouldn't it?

Then we have the Royals. Prince William has one of the biggest personal carbon footprints on the planet, so what does he do? He sets up his Earthshot Prize (for Brownie points) and visits people all around the world who want to save the world with their minor and twee schemes. He then flies many hundreds of them to the UK to attend his big prize giving gala.

As for the theme park. How much CO2 will be pumped out just running the place? It will use up as much electricity as a small town whilst, at the same time, gobbling up hectares of farmland. And let's not forget the visitors getting there in their cars, coaches and trains to go on a ride and scream and wave their arms about.

It is not just a Labour thing. We do not have to look very hard to find these "green" hypocrites.

Err, the Tories were the ones pushing for net-zero and still would be if they had won the election.

It was under PM Boris Johnson that BEIS Minister and Tory MP, Chris Skidmore, signed the strategy into UK law in June 2019. That's the Chris Skidmore who went everywhere by bike and rowing boat so as not to be a hypocrite... oh, wait!

This whole thing was brought to us by the Conservatives not Labour and Miliband.

Miliband is obeying the Tory law.
