🌍✨ Factcheck: UK Conservatives double the ‘cost of net-zero’ after spreadsheet blunder

The “common sense” policy document argues that “what people ultimately want is a government competent enough to solve the problems for which it takes responsibility”. 💚
In a section that says “sophisticat[ed]…modelling” should not be a substitute for “political judgement”, the “Right Way” document disparages various estimates of the cost of net-zero.
