🔴 Majority of British public at odds with Rishi Sunak over green energy projects, poll shows 52% would back 'clean energy zones' where the regulations around infrastructure - like wind farms - are dramatically scaled back Exclusive from HugoGye
Sam Richards, a former adviser to Boris Johnson who runs Britain Remade, said: “Across the UK, infrastructure projects that will reduce our reliance on foreign gas, slash bills and create decent jobs are being held up by bottlenecks in our planning system. This is just one reason for why the British economy is stalling. It doesn’t have to be this way.”
Just 24 per cent of Britons are optimistic about their family’s opportunities, with 63 per cent saying they are pessimistic. Thea 7 per cent fall in average disposal income over the next two years, while the overall size of the country’s economy is not forecast to match its pre-pandemic level before 2025.
Mr Richards said: “People are right to feel frustrated. The economic facts are grim. A British family is now almost £6,000 worse off than the average German family, around £13,500 worse off than the average American family, and on course to be poorer than a Polish family within a decade. “Currently, too many people feel ignored by our politicians, which is why I have started Britain Remade to campaign for real change that can create real impact up and down Britain.” The non-partisan campaign will aim to win over leaders of all parties to prioritise growth over other policy goals.
