Badenoch speech today: "We made it the law that we would deliver net zero carbon emissions by 2050. And only then did we start thinking about how we would do that."

This is not really true - eg see technical advice from Climate Change Committee before the decision

Net Zero - The UK's contribution to stopping global warming - Climate Change Committee
This report responds to a request from the Governments of the UK, Wales and Scotland, asking the Committee to reassess the UK's long-term emissions targets.

Stephen's uncanny ability to convert interesting observations (such as the thread below) into memorably incisive analysis (see article) never fails to impress.

1/ Last week, a BBC report and podcast claimed UK universities enrol students with poor English to balance books. This sparked two reactions: "no shit, Sherlock" or outright denial. 🧵https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0mzdejg1d3o
