Seems to me like a win [Source]
06 Oct 2022 Rupert Lowe MP (@RupertLowe10) Is a referendum on net zero such a bad idea?
It is essentially overturning how our country operates. A proper democratic mandate is required. [Source]

05 Oct 2022 Josh Fenton-Glynn MP (@JoshFG) Liz Truss’s speech:
????no mention of mortgages
????no plan for climate change
????no help for families in poverty
????no idea on social care
????silence on the pounds fall
Economically illiterate happy talk to the Tory base.

03 Oct 2022 Sam Rushworth MP (@SamJRushworth) P.S. This is not a growth plan
A growth plan would be backing British industry with Labour's sovereign wealth fund to make Britain a green energy super-power; abolishing business rates; better trading deals with Europe & the world; and putting more money into the hands of workers [Source]
03 Oct 2022 Miatta Fahnbulleh MP (@Miatsf) Cutting taxes for millionaires and billionaires has never driven growth. Investing in the industries of the future has.
Now, the Chancellor can create growth by investing in green solutions: tackling our economic crisis and #climatecrisis at the same time.

Together we will keep taking action needed to meet out net zero targets from insulating homes to planting trees & push govt to do same. https://twitter.com/CamdenCouncil/status/1576534964199313408 [Source]
