Leaked Documents Reveal True Cost of Net Zero: MPs React

Sceptics React to Government Leak

Sceptics of Net Zero have seized upon leaked government documents that expose the true cost of going green, calling it a confirmation of what they have long suspected.

MPs Demand Transparency

Conservative MPs are demanding transparency after a secret Whitehall impact assessment was revealed, raising concerns about the economic impact of the eco drive and its potential effects on society's most vulnerable.

Government Response

In response to the leak, Downing Street tried to downplay the significance of the documents, referring to them as a "summary of external analysis." However, critics argue that the content, marked "official sensitive," reveals alarming risks associated with achieving the Net Zero target by 2050.

Opposing Views

While Ed Miliband and some Labour members continue to champion the Net Zero target as essential for growth, others, including Tory MPs, warn of the unbearable costs and economic downturn that could result from the initiative. The debate over the feasibility and affordability of the Net Zero goal continues to divide political leaders.
