So, What Did You Expect?

There are conflicting accounts of precisely why Foreign Office minister, Zac Goldsmith, resigned. He claims it's because the UK's PM is profoundly 'uninterested' in environmental issues. Goldsmith says the PM simply shows 'apathy in the face of the greatest challenge we have faced' (https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/jun/30/rishi-sunak-urged-to-heed-criticism-on-climate-after-zac-goldsmith-quits). So, what did Goldsmith (or anyone else) expect? The current PM is a billionaire, ex-Investment Banker (Goldman-Sachs), who is unlikely to be interested in anything, apart from personal kudos or immediate profits. The only 'environment' he's likely to be interested in, is the temperature of the swimming pool in his Yorkshire constituency house.
