An astonishing revelation from the Express:
Labour is facing a backlash over a key net zero role being advertised with an annual salary equivalent to £255,000. The Chair of the Low Carbon Contracts Company, sponsored by Ed Miliband’s Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, would earn £102,500 a year to work two days a week.
It is equivalent to a full-time salary of £255,000. But the job advert has sparked a backlash from politicians and campaigners.
Tory peer Lord Mackinlay, who chairs the Net Zero Scrutiny Group, told GB News: "The LCCC is yet another Government quango few will have heard of which is merrily adding to the black hole of Net Zero waste.
"This latest advertised role of chairman at a huge part-time salary speaks volumes about their approach.

This is absolutely scandalous. The LCCC does nothing of value, merely administering govt subsidy schemes for renewables, such as CfDs and Capacity Market payments. A junior civil servant could do the job perfectly competently.
But it seems where Net Zero is concerned, money does not matter!
