There is no contradiction between pursuing environmental sustainability and standing for human dignity. On the contrary, the two are indivisible. Our new green economy must be not only carbon free but cruelty free. Those taking to the airwaves to argue that we cannot pursue a greener economy without compromising on fundamental rights are simply wrong; if 35% is from Xinjiang, by definition 65% is not. There are alternative markets, and we need to use GBE’s purchasing power to shore up clean supply. It has already announced a £300 million supply chain fund, the whole purpose of which will be to bring clean and ethically sourced energy to the UK. I greatly welcome that.
