Camilla and Tim clash over climate change | The Daily T Podcast

In Sunday’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley are joined in the studio by Claire Coutinho, the shadow energy secretary, to tackle the fierce political and ideological debate surrounding climate change and energy policy.

Following the backlash over a controversial column by Tim Stanley about Right-wing attitudes on climate change, the trio examine whether current net zero legislation is actively harming the UK economy. Coutinho outlines the Conservatives’ vision with a new detailed energy plan prioritising cheaper power and consumer choice over arbitrary targets.

Plus: is the Prime Minister a coward for not making a decision over North Sea oil drilling?
