If you want to see an example of an eco-loon, look no further than Caroline Lucas or The Greta. Boris is simply getting on with a task that is better tackled now to avoid a more disruptive scrabble at the last minute. The world is focussed on 2050 to go carbon neutral and some like China still haven’t worked out how to commit to that date.

Oh, and Boris’s wife and his wallpaper? Hardly our concern, is it?

What - the tax rises? No temporary abandonment was necessary - just a revised timetable and rationale should have been declared.

Boris is a fool. We're in perfect storm territory here.

1. Where is the electricity to power millions of electric cars?
2. Who can afford electric cars & when will they be an affordable price?
3. What about terraced housing streets?
4. Ditto heat pumps? And the radiator changes that will needed?
5. Importing gas when we can produce it ourselves?
6. Re-wilding (prolly a Carrie idea) when we should produce our own food?

Anyone who defends Boris' programme is a fool as well.

Of course it's our business. He took money from a donor. Nobody donates such a large sum without getting something in return - dodgy in propriety terms.
