Badenoch's (Lack Of) Vision Quest

[Beebo]

I’ll believe her when I seem Miliband in his gold plated Rolls Royce.

Starting to wonder if Badenoch is going to end up as mad as Truss.

Absolutely batshit.

Apparently Milliband has reduced our capacity by:

• Lifting the onshorre wind fram ban
• Approving more solar farms in 2 years than in the previous decade.
• Unlocked tens of billions of private investment in the CfD auctions
• Introduced sweeping connections reform issuing over 700 offers to "shovel ready" schemes - that's more than 50% of the capacity promised by 2030 when our grid will be almost Carbon free.
• Establishing Great British Energy which co-invests in wind solar, and other clean power projects

He got rid of all the speculative zombie projects blocking progress, and now connections are only offered to those projects that are actually ready to go.

But yeah. NIgerian Oil.

A very interesting riposte from Barwell, in response to his sacking by Badenoch.

Very destrucive.

Very destrucive.

I love a "It came as something of a surprise"... suggestive of a fury that could be temporarily measured on the Richter scale, followed by all the "IDGAF what she thinks about me" apparently mild criticisms sprinkled liberally amongst the faint praise. It reminds me slightly of Geoffrey Howe's resignation speech, which wasn't so much about an individual matter as about how Thatcher (by that stage) dealt with any of the more moderate voices in the party.
