The UK has one more anti-net zero MP. In this week’s by-election in Rochdale, voters elected George Galloway of the Workers Party of Britain.
As DeSmog reported last week, Galloway has called net zero a “hoax” and a “fantasy”, supports new oil and coal power, has backed demands for a Brexit-style referendum on net zero, and spread climate misinformation about people being forced to eat insects.
He will be in good company. The self-styled “left-wing” politician has these views in common with the Conservative Party’s Net Zero Scrutiny Group of MPs opposed to climate action, who claim to have up to 50 members.
Galloway took advantage of the collapse of the Tories at a national level and Labour’s fumble in Rochdale, where they had to ditch their candidate over antisemitic comments. Now we can all enjoy what will no doubt prove to be a delightful tenure in the House of Commons before the general election.

Happy to sh!t on a rare left wing victory (not 'self-styled', arsewipes) and play the role of middle class gatekeepers using climate as the stick to beat him with. Next they'll express wonder and outrage when working class people vote en masse against climate change policies...
jeers,
