The green blob is just about awakening to the fact of the mess it has made for itself -- a mess that has been making for >20 years, as has been pointed out to it throughout...
They are trying to claim that the commitment to #NetZero is equivalent to the commitment to Brexit...
I added it as a footnote, because it demonstrates the extent to which a strata of (para) government has formed, which embeds in its population the belief that it is better, right, and above, but subject to no test of its influence or position in society.
The point being that if their self-belief was owed to anything other than self-justification, they would offer things that were much better for society... Which may even include allowing people to make their own choices without the wonkaratti lording over them.

Not entirely true. Miners strikes had had plagued Con & Lab governments for a long time. MT asked for a mandate to confront the issue and got it. The strikes, conversely, were not democratic. Meanwhile, global warming had been touted as the basis for nuclear by Sweden in the '70s
Mines were uneconomic. Closures had happened under both party's governments -- more under Labour. And the unions and left were quite happy to use industrial disputes to bring down the MT government, despite the wishes of the voters, and without balloting their own members.
They failed. And the consequence of their own undemocratic position was that they were left unable to negotiate in their members' (and broader communities') interests, and the laws regulating union activity were changed.
That is because the @GreenAllianceUK worked to secure a cross-party consensus on climate change policy, precisely to stop the public being given a choice.
If there is any potential left in the UK, it will be destroyed by the BBB/#NetZero agendas, because there is nothing the government and big UK capital is more determined to do than destroy creativity and independence. It may, however, be turned into a rent-seekers paradise.
I will *never* be able to afford one of those cars. And like most people, I rely on the second (or more) hand market. I've never paid more than £2,000 for a car. My current is an '05, which will in all likelihood last me until it is banned.
