Davey: This is not leadership from Rishi Sunak, this is putting the UK at the back of the queue

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to the Prime Minister's press conference where he watered down key clean energy pledges, Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey said:

"This is not leadership from Rishi Sunak, this is putting the UK at the back of the queue as the rest of the world races to embrace the industries of tomorrow. 

"The Prime Minister's legacy will be the hobbling of our country's future economy as he ran scared from the right wing of his own party. It is selfish and it epitomises his weakness.

"At the very time we need to stand up and lead, Sunak rolled over."
