Responding to the news that Rishi Sunak is considering weakening key clean energy policies, Liberal Democrat Climate and Energy spokesperson, Wera Hobhouse MP said:

What Rishi Sunak should see infront of him is the opportunity to embrace the industries of the future and protect the coming generations from the catastrophic impacts of climate change.

Instead, he has cowered to the delayers and deniers like the disgraced Liz Truss and adopted wholesale their policies.

This Conservative Government has done nothing but damage our nation and this would be the most destructive move yet.
