This is farcical. Katie Lam didn't speak "imprecisely". She accurately stated the Conservative party's existing policy, which they tried to pass as a Bill in Parliament earlier this year, and which Badenoch's spokesman defended himself just last week.

“How will an ambulance get through?”
A question only asked of those trying to save our planet, not millionaire landowners trying to hoard wealth.
Farmers received record support in the budget. Pay what is still less than your fair share, take your tractors and piss off.
