The debate over net zero has taken a dramatic turn, with Tory leader Kemi Badenoch now declaring that the UK’s 2050 target is “impossible”—a shift that’s already sparked accusations of political opportunism. Critics have questioned why she didn’t oppose the policy sooner if she truly believed it would bankrupt the country.
Reform UK wasted no time in calling out her sudden change in stance, branding it a “desperate policy from a leader and party floundering in the polls.” They claim the Tories are simply latching onto Reform’s momentum rather than offering a real alternative, as reported by the Express.
