Net Zero: The Lie Killing Britain – Ben Habib in Conversation with Howard Cox & Dr Craig Walton | Fearless Ep 15
At Advance UK, we reject the green dogma and climate panic that is bleeding Britain dry. In this powerful episode of Fearless, our leader Ben Habib is joined by Howard Cox, founder of FairFuel UK and tireless campaigner against punitive fuel taxes, and Dr Craig Walton, Cambridge research fellow in Earth Sciences and member of Advance UK’s College.
Together they dismantle the Net Zero myth: a politically driven agenda that ignores Earth’s natural climate variability, distorts science, and justifies reckless policies harming ordinary Britons. Climate has always changed – the apocalyptic narrative pushed by politicians and captured institutions is detached from evidence and history.
Howard Cox lays bare the brutal reality: successive governments treating drivers and hauliers as cash cows through endless fuel duty hikes, ULEZ charges, road taxes, and anti-motorist rules. These policies crush families, destroy small businesses, strangle the economy, and erode our sovereignty – all in the name of virtue-signalling climate targets.
Dr Walton explains how universities and institutions have been captured by ideology, silencing debate and enforcing one-sided narratives, while real expertise is sidelined.
We set out Advance UK’s clear alternative: End Net Zero now. Restore British energy sovereignty with cheap, reliable power. Cut red tape to fast-track nuclear. Back domestic oil, gas, and responsible fracking. Abolish anti-driver policies. Prioritise affordability and security over net-zero fantasies.
Britain needs competent government that puts our people, industries, and freedom first – not virtue-signalling that leaves us colder, poorer, and less free.
This is about more than energy. It’s about whether Britain can remain a prosperous, sovereign nation or continue its self-inflicted decline.
Advance UK stands unapologetically for pragmatic, evidence-based policies that deliver for British families and businesses. No more lies. No more punishment. Britain first.
