Don’t make it Flop26

MR Johnson deserves plaudits for ensuring the climate change crisis remains at the top of the global agenda.

But if the worst polluting countries shun his critical Glasgow summit, Cop26 will quickly turn into Flop26. equally, the PM will quickly lose voters’ support for his ‘Net Zero’ nirvana if it inflicts huge disruption and deprivation on their lives.

Not a paragraph of the Tory manifesto was devoted to ditching gas boilers for expensive, inefficient heat pumps. Not a sentence warned, as a Governmentcommissioned report revealed, of taxing the Sunday roast. If the public fear being beggared by his green revolution, Boris risks paying a very heavy price.
