I can put up with a certain amount of inconsistency, muddle-headedness and even hypocrisy in politics. As the American poet Walt Whitman wrote: “Do I contradict myself?/ Very well then I contradict myself,/ (I am large, I contain multitudes.)”But I draw the line when pundits self-righteously demand more action on net zero while at the same time complaining of “fuel poverty”. I bridle when lobbyists rage against the Australia and New Zealand trade deals because they will “flood” us with “cheap food”, and then have the nerve to moan about “food poverty”.... DT.
