The UK's Reform party, which is funded by the fossil fuel industry and denies basic climate science, is informing energy firms that it will terminate renewable energy contracts.
Probably no one here needs this, but just in case, what might happen if Reform got into power and actually did cancel contracts under AR7 (and let’s assume other all other renewable energy contracts)?
Spoiler: I think it would be disastrous…

Farage and the far right in general come from a grievance culture. If you do what they want, even maximally – Brexit – they’ll move the goalposts and keep moaning. If you engage seriously with their concerns, they’ll find new ones. You will never satisfy them, because they don’t want to be satisfied
The problem with this ‘let’s weaken our commitment to the ECHR so as to fend off Farage’ plan is that when it doesn’t work, we end up with Farage *and* a weakened commitment to the ECHR at exactly the moment we need the ECHR the most.

UK Govt to cut benefit spending by more than £5bn a year by 2029/30. Poor/Disabled hit.
Silence on corporate welfare, ending tax perks of the rich.
Aligning tax on dividends and capital gains with wages, and charging national insurance on the same can create £20bn surplus.

But there is loads of money available from getting rid of Brexit or taxing the rich instead.
