The reaction - to a move by Rishi Sunak to delay the government's green policies – has been mixed to say the least, with opposition parties criticising the prime minister's leadership as "weak" and the decision "damaging" for the climate.

On the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson is joined by our science correspondent Thomas Moore and Politico's UK editor Jack Blanchard for their analysis and a deeper look at what it all means politically, as well as for voters, industry and climate change.
