What's the odds they end up spending more than they save?
My fear is that they'll take exactly the wrong message from this and decide to try and ape Reform UK's talking points.

Never said a word when Sunak was talking about Net Zero by 2030 - but now there's funding coming from a think-tank, she's done a total about turn.
Total moral vacuum
I don't understand how the inflation figures are around 2% (give or take) Every time we go to the Supermarket, it feels like lots of items have gone up by MUCH more than that!
