The GWPF (Global Warming Policy Forum) reacts to the Boris Green Leap Forward/Backward/Sideways or whichever ways it ends up. The government can't even manage an NHS Test and Trace app so what chance of restructuring the entire economy without mishap?

Who asked for this Great Reset anyway? If we are a democracy, shouldn't we insist on a referendum to determine if we want to embark on such a huge change? Otherwise we will have top-down government by diktat for ever.

The PM should remember that it isn't the expenditure that matters (even if it is on "jobs") - it's what you get for that expenditure that matters, and no government that I can recall

The GWPF (Global Warming Policy Forum) calls for an urgent inquiry as our National Grid is reportedly running out of "system margin" (ie: low levels of wind and clear weather bring frosts, meaning that the demand for power rises just as supply of wind power reduces to very little).

This is OK until it's not, then blackouts ensue.

The Spectator asks a good question - the UK is supposed to be leaving the EU, and yet . . .  our new post-EU agricultural policy is said to be developing along similar lines to the revised CAP, not so much to reward the production of food (although the removal of "green" requirements may help by enabling some land to return to agricultural use), but to reward the agri-businesses who may profit from claiming subsidies without much need to actually produce anything other than a claim on the Rural Payments Agency.
