Tony Blair’s essay is full of contradictions that can easily be dismantled. If he wants to ditch Net Zero, why does China produce so many solar panels and electric vehicles? If AI is the future, it will require a great deal of energy consumption.

I don’t see anything radically centrist about condemning people to destitution! Further privatisation of state institutions (or what should be under state control) rarely produces an outcome that is both profitable & high in customer satisfaction.

He’s right about the tax burden on businesses & the need for greater infrastructure to boost economic growth but increasing VAT isn’t the answer. It’s regressive & hits the poorest hardest

With infrastructure reform, it could be geared towards Electric vehicles, charging points, green energy, power via heat pumps, more cycle lanes, solar panels on motorways etc etc. The state needs to manipulate the right conditions to allow green energy companies to thrive.
