Watching the Net Zero agenda wobble

A number of weeks into the Labour government, the inevitable cracks are starting to appear in the pre-election promises.

Meanwhile, new chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves, plans to save £5.5 billion by scrapping winter fuel payments for ten million pensioners.
