Your reminder (should you need one) that the #Tories are crap at spreadsheets and not to be trusted on the cost of #NetZero. Austerity was also perpetuated by Cameron and Osborne on research which included a basic blunder on a spreadsheet. The cost of not attempting NetZero is far greater…and there are benefits to be gained for all in terms of health and maintaining our environment. https://www.carbonbrief.org/factcheck-uk-conservatives-double-the-cost-of-net-zero-after-spreadsheet-blunder

Your reminder (should you need one) that the #Tories are crap at spreadsheets and not to be trusted on the cost of #NetZero. My reminder, Tories are totally crap in all respects.... See History for proof.
