I thought one benefit of Brexit was that the UK could move with agility to take the lead on matters like addressing climate change, without the need to reach a consensus with fellow EU members.

First of all you're sceptical of the UK's ability to take a global lead. Then you ask what a global lead is. This second statement contradicts your first.

Hundreds of £millions is not virtue-signalling. |

I prefer the "Old Andrew"! Why didn't you address the point that I made? ... Which was why on earth should we take any lead? It's economically and socially unaffordable. Your Brexit point was gratuitous and irrelevant.

You must have misread/misunderstood what I wrote. I merely asked what the definition of "take a global lead" meant in terms of the article. It's a piece of string stuff. What would be the boundaries of a "global lead" and who would struggle as a result?

Where did I mention money? This "global lead" cobblers is the virtue signalling. The money that you've mentioned would be better spent making heating/cooling solutions cheaper, inclusing energy.
