The former prime minister emphasised that rowing back on the Act, which set the UK's net zero by 2050 target, would be detrimental for future generations and business investment. Former Tory minister Alok Sharma also warned against the repeal, stating it would risk future investment and jobs in the UK and squander the country's legacy of climate progress. Kemi Badenoch defended her proposal, arguing that the net zero agenda has involved "deception" and that the UK should not act as the "goody-two-shoes" if other nations are not equally committed. Shadow energy secretary Claire Coutinho supported the plan, asserting that the Climate Change Act forces decisions that make Britons poorer and that the government must prioritise "cheap electricity".
