Net zero is doomed Blair tells Starmer
Sir Tony Blair has attacked Sir Keir Starmer’s net zero policies.
The former prime minister said it was wrong that people were “being asked to make financial sacrifices and changes in lifestyle when they know that their impact on global emissions is minimal”.
In a significant intervention, Sir Tony said politicians must face “inconvenient facts” that “present policy solutions are inadequate”.
His language echoes that of Kemi Badenoch, the Conservative leader, who said last month that reaching net zero by 2050 is “impossible”.
