So we have a minority government. We can't get any legislation through. And we need to put something that everybody can agree on. And on both sides of the House, left and right, environmentalism has supporters. There's the centre-right type of environmentalism and the centre-left. Net zero looks like a thing that everybody can agree on.

And I remember asking in the debate, it was a 90 minute debate for this trillion pound legislation. And I stood up. I was one of only two people who asked a sceptical question. I said, how are we going to pay for this? Where is the plan? And I was dismissively waved away by the minister at the time saying the plans will be forthcoming.

That minister now works, you know, in the green industries, I'm told. And I think that the reason why this happened is because a lot of people are afraid of being attacked, of cancellation, of going against the grain. This was a way for us to say, we're showing global leadership.

There's this thing that a lot of politicians like to have, you know, walking on stage, I'm at these conferences, global leadership, we signed this thing, we were the first to do it. And I think that that's how we ended up there.

That's 2019. I think it's middle of 2019. Okay. So I've been an MP for two years and I'm already seeing quite a lot of what I call bad science, bad faith arguments to deal with climate change. And I know that conservatives love the environment. You know, of course, that's what we want to conserve amongst other things. We want to keep things as they are.

We want to leave a next generation inheritance. Let's give something to our children. So there's fertile soil here. But the net zero idea is bad because there is no plan. It's just an announcement. So we say we're going to do this thing and then we start working it out later. This is one of the things that I want to stop. Conservative Party is under new leadership.

We're not just going to say things and figure it out later. We will figure it out. And then when we know how to do it, we can say it. But the why it happened, that failure. Fear of cancellation, that fear of going against the grain is a more fundamental problem. People are so afraid of challenging bad orthodoxies. There is a terror of being heterodox. And I think that I am on one level an outlier.
