at cop26 in glasgow, he gave a really impassioned speech where he talked about us being on a war footing and in 2015 in paris he was really instrumental in getting a lot of that pulled together so other nations can actually be onside because paris was widely regarded as being the moment where lots of other nations stepped up to the plate, so this is a man who hasn'tjust had a passing fancy of this particular topic, it is really something he has been passionate about probably for his whole adult life and suddenly he is not going, so within the body of this article is the suspicion that maybe the government is seeking to either delude or to water down or perhaps even abandon its plans to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050, and of course if that is the case, that would go against quite a lot of things that have already been signed into place by the conservative government and also

would in a way to go against everything that the monarch has wanted to do with his life. now, he could easily give a video remotely, he doesn't necessarily have to be there in person, but this article really does make it clear that he is only not going because the government have advised him not to, and there aren't really very concrete reasons as to why they have done that. the rest is just suspicion. done that. the rest is 'ust suspiciomi done that. the rest is 'ust susicion. �* �* . , suspicion. the bbc have put in the palace early _ suspicion. the bbc have put in the palace early tonight _ suspicion. the bbc have put in the palace early tonight that _ suspicion. the bbc have put in the palace early tonight that the - suspicion. the bbc have put in the palace early tonight that the king | palace early tonight that the king must be personally disappointed given his long—standing passion and commitment to environmental campaigning, and the palace said that the idea that the king was not comfortable was not the case and that he was ever mindful of the sovereign�*s role to act on the advice of the government and everybody has accepted, including the king himself, would very much changed when he moved from prince to king. changed when he moved from prince to kina. , ., ., changed when he moved from prince to kina. , ~ . ,., ., king. yes, i think that is one of the reasons —

11:37 pm
in the past and there were lots of other people there who were, like the host, hedge front managers, financiers and other shapes or forms, but also people who were from other walks of life, but fundamentally, people who were conservative supporters, and this article is suggesting that of the that evening, and the fact that there was a very enthusiastic response from people at that reception to the mini budget that perhaps it might have encouraged kwasi kwarteng a couple of days later, last sunday, to say that there is more to come, that in fact some of these financiers had perhaps egged him on a little bit. in fact, there is a rather telling a line in this article where a couple of those present had then subsequently talked to contacts of the way they described kwasi kwarteng as a useful
11:38 pm
idiot. well, that is certainly not a reputation that you want to have if you are chancellor of the exchequer, to feel that somehow you are in the pocket of some of these financiers. but there has been speculation since the budget about, not least because the budget about, not least because the pound did crash, or continue its slide, one might say, because it has been pulling quite some time for drier to the budget, but there has been speculation that quite a lot of people have benefited by shorting the pound and it only fuels the suspicion that kwasi kwarteng's priorities haven't necessarily been about either the economy or the people that he is purporting to help, but it is this very narrow slice of society, the high rollers, the more affluent people, certainly people who would be benefiting from one of kwasi kwarteng's policies which was to eliminate the 45p tax
11:39 pm

11:42 pm
the problem is the timing, but actually it is all very well and good to try to increase gross and for example, one of the things she talks about in the telegraph article is the way in which they are going to redefine what constitutes a small business so that it is going to be increased from a company that has up to 250 employees to up to 500 employees and thereby they hope to eliminate a lot of red tape for people who would fall into that category. but the problem is that actually if you go for growth at a time of great economic and one might also way say political turmoil, you do run the risk that your growth is stymied by other events. some are quite famous said events, dear boy, events, this is what she is grappling with. and it takes a very nimble politician to be able to say, well, this is what i would really love to do but the timing isn't
11:43 pm
quite right and i'll wait to see when it is, is where us what we seem to be getting at the moment is a really explicit presentation of her thesis around growth but less assessment or, you know, i suppose an assessment of reflecting her understanding of why some of these policies that have been put up that were received so badly. there doesn't seem to be any understanding of that, it is just more of a sense of that, it is just more of a sense of putting her own still out there. we are going to see in the coming days if she changes tack. joe, a love story here on the front of the sunday telegraph, unleash nuclear weapons on ukraine, this is a chechen ally telling putin. this is the leader in _ chechen ally telling putin. this is the leader in chechnya _ chechen ally telling putin. this is
