Is there no action the populace has to remove this plug from office? Literally everything that he does is bat shit crazy and harmful to the UK.
Nope. We just have to wait for him to call an election. Alternatively Parliament could kick him out or in theory pass a law calling an early election (I think), but that is obviously not happening.
Just England?
they could revolt, but that would be making a fuss and that’s the last thing modern brits are going to do
Is he really “under fire”? There don’t appear to be any consequences here.
I hear how he faces mutiny and everyone is outraged and his party is on the verge of implosion every other day. It was the same with all the others.
Inexplicable? The guy has clearly been aiming for a job in oil for his entire time as prime minister.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Rishi Sunak has come under fierce attack from UK climate experts for the Conservative government’s failure over the past 18 months to appoint a new chair of the independent committee that advises ministers on emissions targets.
In a letter to the prime minister leaked to the Observer, the UK’s leading organisation working on the economic effects of global warming condemned the “excessive delay” in finding a replacement to the previous chair, Lord Deben.
The failure to find a new committee chair is the latest example of a lack of consistency displayed by Sunak towards his party’s green commitments.
This year, he dismayed environmentalists when he announced legislation for an annual system of oil and gas licensing in the North Sea which followed a scaling back of other measures including delays to a ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars.
In the past, it has been highly critical of Britain’s poor performance in areas including the nation’s flood defences and domestic energy efficiency.
In July 2022, it was announced that Lord Deben – who was due to stand down – would continue in the post for an extra nine months while a new chair was sought.
