"The system of regulation is not good enough to cope with it, so Ofcom needs to have more teeth to deal with issues of standards."

He calls for the UK to support continents like Africa with economic development as a key solution to the problem. He says this"shouldn't be an ideological issue", and adds that the issue for Mr Sunak is that he has backtracked on so many net zero policies that"people doubt whether he can meet the targets that he set".
