there was a window where it looked like the tories would make bold changes, and did when it came to personal infrastructure. but then it became woke and gay to do such things and they hard pivoted away
it's also worth it to note during this time they pressed heavy for car infra improvements, fuel tax freezes, planning restrictions and oil drilling licenses. on a macro level very little was different.
if labour keeps its north sea license freeze it will be some improvement, but still woefully inadequate infra wise to conduct change. likely what happens is we just import the oil to feed industries relient on it or home fuel prices go up as the market competes for it. my guess is they hope to get homes running on alt energy to avoid this but as they're relient on quasi private solutions the market will not allow this saving to be felt. similar to how savers never felt the interest rate increase.
