Green levies on people's bills just so that virtue signaling politicians can get on private jets and go to Davos and compete over who can be Greta Thunberg's best friend.

That is the height of insanity.Stop spending British taxpayer money on things that don't improve their lives.So we'd scrap the electric car subsidies, we would end the subsidies on heat pumps in your boiler, and we would end the insane experiment that's currently going on.£9 billion over the course of this Parliament, Labour is spending British taxpayers' money on carbon capture experiments.Cumulatively, over the five -year period, that is £14 billion, Laura.That more than covers all of the measures we're taking to reduce cost of living for British people.

But wouldn't then heat pumps, which some people want to put into their houses in order to bring their bills down in the long term, electric cars, which some people want to drive in order to live a more environmentally friendly life, or maybe they just like the look of them, and both of those industries support jobs in this country.So wouldn't costs go up and jobs in green industries be under threat by those decisions?

First of all, this is a fallacy.China is currently flooding this country with cheap Chinese electric cars.Currently, those levies that British taxpayers' money is being spent on are producing jobs and creating jobs in China and costing them in this country.And yes, let's be completely frank.If somebody is watching this programme and desperately wants a heat pump in their house, yeah, you're not going to get that subsidy under a reformed government.But people watching this programme who feel their petrol cars up and their diesel cars up and wince and fear opening their energy bills.

All of that would reverse under a reform government.

What about if you work, though, in a green industry?Maybe you're involved in a wind farm.Maybe you work for a renewables company.When you hear again and again reforms saying, oh, we would take the subsidies away from that.they might feel like the rug's going to be pulled under them.

Laura, politics is about choices, right?Everyone understands that.Firstly, the number of, quote, green jobs that have been created are dwarfed by the number of jobs lost as a result of the insane net zero policies.And reform is not ideologically opposed to renewal.If wind farms make sense economically on their own right, great.If solar farms make sense in their own right, great.

and local residents are happy with it, more power to you.What is totally unacceptable is walloping British, hard -working British people with the highest energy costs in the world as a direct result of green levies on people's bills just so that virtue signaling politicians can get on private jets and go to Davos and compete over who can be Greta Thunberg's best friend.That is the height of insanity.
