Ten years ago, Ed Miliband promised a million new green jobs by 2030. He’s not the only one of course to make such extravagant promises over the years.

The reality, as you might have guessed, is somewhat different!


The ONS has just published the data for 2022, which attempts to put a gloss on it by including all sorts of jobs, such as 138,900 jobs in waste collection, jobs which have always been there. There are another 70,000 jobs in the environmental charity/consultancy sector.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
