Can I suggest you take off the blinkers as one of the regular posters on here is one of the people who lost their employment! Secondly there is not need for me to be specific about businesses that have folded due to Net zero zealots. However, can I suggest that you use your fingers to use Google if you need more in depth knowledge. It is quite simple to use Google once you know how.

There has been growth in the green sector that isn’t widely acknowledged, and this is estimated to significantly increase over the next period of time. Here’s an extract from a recent ONS report.

• Green Jobs:In 2023, the UK's green jobs sector had an estimated 690,900 full-time equivalents (FTEs), up from 513,300 in 2015, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).

It’s difficult to find a direct equivalence for the fossil fuel sector and its supply chain. But a 2025 House of Commons report stated there had been a 50% reduction in a decade.
But I suspect the figures may not fully include people where the reduction in sales of fuels and the mix of fuels pose threats to their jobs. IE refineries, transport, storage, even petrol stations.

No idea, but we completed our tax returns this weekend and they are now with Royal Mail. But that won’t affect anything that the Budget brings.

During a recent Countryfile programme a mixed agriculture farmer when interviewed said only 35% of the income came directly from farming. His wife worked part time, there was a farm shop, and holiday accommodation, plus ice cream production all of which made up the bulk of the income. Having a solar station, battery bank or wind tower(s) can make a big difference to a farmers livelihood and ability to continue to farm.

Really haven’t a clue what you are on about. I took it to read LAND and you had misspelt it.
