Just look at that Tory voters score

We need a new Green Policy – Part 1
Net Zero, that’s where our bank balances are headed on current trends. According to the OBR it will cost £1.4 trillion to complete Net Zero by 2050, that’s more than 3 times the cost of the COVID emergency, but obviously over a longer timescale. Unfortunately, I don’t believe that’s the full number as our governments ( of any hue ) seems to have an uncanny knack of underestimating both cost and timing.

A quarrel in a far away country, between people of whom we know nothing

Meet the don’t knows
If Sunak is to deny Starmer a majority the vanguard of that is likely to be the 2019 Tory voters who are currently showing up as don’t knows so this analysis from YouGov is very interesting. CCHQ will be analysisng this as well. TSE

This government really does look after oppressed minorities
I am surprised Rishi Sunak didn’t announce this change from his chopper or on a private plane.

Stand up for the rights of the disinterested masses.
The rise and rise of the single issue activist have been one of the noteworthy features of the last 30 years. Whether it is gender, climate, dogs, cats, oil or housing there will be a pressure group full of activists ready to swing into action. Activists are focused on their pet project and are quite vocal about it too. And it’s not just individuals, often charities are corporate activists while receiving money from taxpayers. Issue activism has been living through…
