It is interesting - more nuanced than all the comments here But I think it underplays the political bind that Labour is in - any suggestion of wanting to reverse 2016 vote in terms of FoM is electorally toxic unless & until those less comfortable Labour heartlands see benefits from Labour in power

I think the issue the Tories will have is that the Brexity part of the country - the east coast, part of Yorkshire will be torn between them and reform The heartlands look lost to them as the Lib Dems have done really well with remainers/farmers/rural stuff

The whole headline statement "I will not sacrifice Great British industry to the drum-banging, finger-wagging Net Zero extremists" doesn't actually appear in the text. Harry Cole is probably gigging to himself about the trouble he's caused stitching that together atop a piece about Net Zero by 2050

"This [CCS] is a third way that brings industry with us on our path to Net Zero — while creating 4,000 jobs, reigniting our industrial heartlands and pumping £5billion into the economy every year once it is up and running."

"Investment that can reignite Britain’s industrial heartlands to create good jobs in the industries of the future" To paraphrase an old favourite: CCS is one of the industries of the future. Always has been; always will be. Comment is free, but CCS is expensive.
