Oliver Letwin gets it right
Are the Tories waking up to the Labour government’s tactic of talking up action on reducing emissions while doing nothing practical about it?
Following John Prescott’s vauely indiscreet remarks about America, Hurricane Katrina and global warming, Oliver Letwin had this to say:
“It’s all very well Mr Prescott criticising the failure of America to sign up to Kyoto, but people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. This government has failed to make any progress at all on reducing carbon emissions in the UK. Indeed, we are going backwards. The irony is that Mr Prescott, who is sponsoring a huge programme of environmentally unfriendly house construction, is one of the main culprits.”
