Britain has gone ‘far further than sensible Australia’ with net zero 2050

GB News host Darren Grimes has reacted to author Peter Hitchens delivering a reality check to the BBC over Britain’s net-zero targets. Mr Hitchins told BBC audience members that if they “wanted to live in a country where nobody can afford to heat their house,” and one where “lots of people lose their jobs, and be cold all the time”, they should keep pursuing net zero by 2050. “Once again, we in this country have gone far further than the sensible Australians have, Mr Grimes told Sky News Australia host Rita Panahi in response. “The government right now just had to admit it’s made a mistake in banging the drum against gas power stations. “Because we are now having to build more… and we are all saying, ‘you thick wazzocks, of course, we knew this would happen.’”
