From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT

By Paul Homewood

If you live in Wales, you should be extremely concerned about this:

At the moment the Welsh Budget for 2024 to 2025 is still at the draft stage, but they are planning to spend £2.6 billion of your money on fighting climate change during the upcoming financial year:

And this is on top of the £2.6 billion they are spending this year:

Some of this money may be taken out of other budgets – for instance, new schools, which will now be built to Net Zero standards, but at a much higher cost. Most of the budget will, I would guess, be wasted though; for instance school budgets will be raided to pay for heat pumps and other superfluous expenditure.

These costs, by the way, exclude non-fiscal resources, such as Civil Service staff costs.

There are 1.3 million households in Wales, so over this two period climate spending by the Welsh Government will cost each and every one £4000. And that is on top of all of the other costs imposed by the UK Government.
