Zero Carbon is one of the rare areas of consensus in British politics. Boris Johnson seems no less committed than then opposition parties. But energy security concerns now take centre stage. More serious, public support is shallow and politicians have been unable to resist popular demands to cut taxes on fuels. There is now an emerging movement demanding a referendum on zero carbon and making an issue of renewable subsidies and the supposed benefits of fracking. The companies are exaggerated or wrong but we have learnt from the Brexit experience that populist campaigns must not be underestimated.

Inflation, Inflation, Inflation
The podcast is a look back at the Spring Statement now that the dust has settled and we have a chance to look at reactions as well as the content. A generous view is that Sunak is saving his ammunition for a fiercer economic battle in the autumn but he runs the risk of doing too little too late.

Ukraine War: Watch the Neutrals
The Russian invasion of Ukraine has mobilised and unified Europe, the NATO alliance and the majority of countries in the UN. However key countries like India and Pakistan, South Africa and Nigeria and leading Middle Eastern countries and, above all, China have declined to take sides, at least openly. How these self-declared neutrals react to a continuing war will be crucial.
