"Extending BMV to grade 3b would ban solar from about 41% of the land area of England, or about 58% of agricultural land. Much of grade 4 and 5 land is in upland areas that are unsuitable for solar developments."
Pure idiocy.
Dovetails nicely with their pro-fracking and fossil fuel agenda though.

Looks like they've given up even pretending there's any logic behind their policy ideas now then. Completely nuts. |  |

Oh it does make sense.
A few of these from the fossil fuel industry goes a long way. |  |

She seems to be intent on self-destruction, not only for her rotten party, but also for the country and the planet. On this day, would it be wrong to equate her behaviour with a mental health condition? That's not intended to be flippant. |  |

Tbf around our way some very productive land is due to be converted to solar. If government heavily subsidised solar panels on every roof, local food sufficiency, community anaerobic digesters, local energy grids and the like it wouldn't be all bad. But they won't. |  |

I don't think it's even that, not in a UK context anyway (obviously money from the US gets channelled back into our politics...). The domestic UK energy industry was long ago convinced of the transition away from fossil fuels. |  |

The little brown envelope goes a long way with this lot, whether from BP or Putin’s mob. National politicians, local ones are all susceptible to errr, the wheels being ‘oiled’.
Locally, BT were refused permission to develop part of what was the old Martlesham airfield for housing for years. Cameron and his cronies were then given an invite ‘to lunch’ at the BT aircraft carrier and hey presto within no time at all, permission for 4000 houses granted. Boom! Must have been some lunch. |  | | |

More of a mental phenomenon I’d say.
It’s a form of delusion like anything else that’s based on faith and belief but goes against facts and objectivity.
I imagine that there has been some confusion and consternation among Truss and her crew that adopting the positions of neo-liberal think tanks could be so bad in reality. But that’s because these people are totally ignorant that the trickle-down economics fallacy has been blown out the water. Or that it’s in their self-interest (and those they really represent/are beholden to) to pretend otherwise.
Probably a bit from Column A and B. Which is even more worrying because there’s literally no incentive for them to change course in any meaningful way. Because without their supporters and power base of self-interest they’ll be even more screwed electorally, now and in the future. |  |
