“Rishi likes to jump on his little jet. I don’t have a car, I don’t fly on planes.”
The former levelling up secretary, who served under Liz Truss, posted on X : “Our climate is changing dramatically. The UK has carved out a world-leading role delivering net zero in a market-friendly way that will deliver clean, secure energy and thousands of jobs in deprived communities like Teesside. My red wall constituents overwhelmingly support it.”
“It’s naive just to say we need to invest in more electric cars because in more deprived areas affording them is an issue. Mitigating climate change is really important so we need more investment, and wider investment, rather than less.”
