It is remarkable that the west is committing to spending 5% of GDP on defence, and almost no one has made the case that the most pressing threat to our security this century is climate change and we should be spending more on tackling that.

Nor do you get growth from keep cutting public spending. There really is an intellectual incoherence at the heart of this administration which is going to destroy it.

Something I wrote about how winning the argument for #NetZero (again) is all of our missions, not just the Government's
Winning the argument for #NetZero means making it real for people - lower bills, better jobs, and greater energy security. The challenge is clear, but so is the opportunity.
Now, we need to get the message right.
