Green ideology is set to make a whole range of goods more expensive.
Jeremy Hunt, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, will press ahead with plans to introduce tariffs on goods imported from countries that are not self-harming their industries with green regulations.
These taxes will be called Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, CBAM, as if by giving it some complex acronym, it will be less nasty than it is.
It is higher costs for consumers and it will initially include a range of goods from carbon intensive industries such as aluminium, cement, ceramics and steel.

It is a stealthy and undemocratic attempt to realign this country, the United Kingdom, by applying exactly the same type of EU laws that we hated when we were a member state.
Indeed, opposition to those laws was part of the reason we voted to leave.
As Lord Frost has said.
This is not taking back control.
This is the government giving it up, voluntarily abdicating.
We must protect the pockets of British consumers and reverse this drift towards de facto realignment with the EU.
