Lucy Powell mocks Kemi Badenoch's Net Zero ideas

Lucy Powell, the Leader of the Commons, made headlines with a humorous remark about space travel while discussing Kemi Badenoch's speech on Net Zero policies. Powell jokingly suggested that Badenoch had gone to "Planet Zog" with her views, indicating her disapproval of the Conservative leader's stance. The comment drew mixed reactions, with some Labour supporters laughing, while more cautious members of the government remained silent. Powell's comments reflect a broader debate within the government regarding climate policies. Ed Miliband, a key figure in Labour's stance on Net Zero, found humor in Badenoch's speech but faced an unimpressed response from his own party members. The uncertainty about the Net Zero consensus has led to speculation about the potential implications for key political figures, including Powell. Overall, the discussion highlights the ongoing tension in British politics over climate change policies and the differing opinions within parties.
