And the only rationale is this…?
in the hope of opening up a clear divide over the green agenda with Labour
He’s trying to make sure his party will lose by an even greater margin?
It is basically guaranteed that he has lost the next election so he is just frantically throwing everything at the wall to see if anything sticks
It’s fairly clear at this point that conservatism and conservatives are an existential threat.
It’s unfortunate that right-wing parties will likely get more and more popular the worse things get as people tend to flock to populists in times of crisis, and I don’t know about other countries but here in Finland the under-25’s are actually more conservative than eg. millennials or gen X – in this year’s parliamentary elections ~30% of them voted for either an extremist right wing party that has a nontrivial amount of literal neo-Nazis in it, or the “fiscally conservative” party which isn’t much better (and has a bit of a revolving door with the extremists).
At this point I consider any of these “policies” to be a form of suicide.

It’s larger than most US states in terms of area, and bigger than California in terms of population, with a similarly-sized economy. That’s big enough to still matter.
