Tory backlash as Badenoch says net zero by 2050 is ‘impossible’ ...Middle East

The Conservative leader will deliver a speech on Tuesday in which she will criticise the West’s decision to try and cut carbon emissions to zero by 2050, rejecting the policy as “impossible”.

Taking aim at Energy Secretary Ed Miliband as well as her own former prime minister Theresa May, the Tory leader will criticise successive governments for failing to produce a plan to meet its legal commitments to reach net zero by 2050.

But she will warn that by pushing ahead with the policy without being clear to voters of the trade-offs will result in a further loss of trust towards the political class, insisting “we’ve got to stop government by press release”.

“I say it because to anyone who has done any serious analysis knows it can’t be achieved without a serious drop in our living standards or by bankrupting us.”

Sam Hall, Director of the Conservative Environment Network (CEN), said: “It is a mistake for Kemi Badenoch to have jumped the gun on her own policy review and decided net zero isn’t possible by 2050.

While the CEN agreed with Badenoch that Labour’s approach to meeting net zero was “not credible”, it warned: “The net-zero target is driven not by optimism but by scientific reality; without it climate change impacts and costs will continue to worsen.

Badenoch has said that she will be launching “the Conservative Party’s biggest policy renewal programme in 50 years” on Tuesday.

There is a bigger threat to the Tories than Reform

She told the Centre for Policy Studies’ Margaret Thatcher conference: “We’re not announcing detailed policies, but we know where we need to get to.

“We know we will fight for secure borders and law and order because a country that cannot defend itself at home or abroad is a country in decline.

“We know we must shrink the size of the state and end government waste and dependency because people should decide how to spend their money, not politicians.”
