BREAKING THE CONSENSUS IN UK

It's starting to crumble:

Conservative voters are starting to push back, with The Times offering details of a YouGov poll which finds that 68 percent of Tory voters are opposed to the 2030 deadline on abolishing the sale of new petrol/diesel vehicles, as against 27 percent in favour.

Even the obsessives in Starmer’s Labour, and in other parties, can’t carry the day: overall, while 42 percent of voters opposed the net-zero plans, only 42 percent backed them.

When confronted with the costs of actually implementing the policy, 55 percent of those polled said that they would be unwilling to accept “additional costs for ordinary people”, while only 27 percent said they would accept extra costs. And this is in the context where none of the politicians (much less the media) are being straight about the real costs.
