00:00 Well I think this is not a sensible policy because I don't think it will win votes, I
00:04 think it will have the opposite effect. It's not a sensible policy because it doesn't help
00:09 us meet net zero and it's not a sensible policy because it undermines the ability of the government
00:16 to get the confidence. See last week they undermined the confidence of the offshore
00:23 wind industry because they managed to muck up their whole system of getting more offshore
00:29 wind. This week they undermined the confidence of the car manufacturers and we've really
00:35 got to get to a situation in which people trust them because otherwise they'll invest
00:40 as they are investing in the United States and invest in the rest of Europe. I want them
00:46 to invest here, I want jobs here, I want to cut the cost of living here. These are the
00:51 things that we want and this runs against all those three aims.
