Is the text available for those who don't hear so well?

Instead of cheap rhetoric, a few 'corrections' would have been more to the point. This isn't the MailOnline comments section.

I won't put words in your mouth but given what you say - doesn't this imply calamity? So how do we explain why Net Zero is essentially collapsing? Why do a number of countries say one thing…

Seconded! In my experience, Gov.UK does pretty well in general and am happy to say that as one who privately fumes about various aspects of Britain in recent years.
