Tory leak says the prime minister is going round Number 10 saying: 'We have got to get rid of all this green crap!'

SOURCE GUARDIAN: No 10 pours cold water on claim David Cameron wants to 'get rid of green crap'Downing Street has said it does not recognise reports that David Cameron ordered aides to "get rid of all the green crap" from energy bills in a drive to bring down costs. According the Sun, the prime minister used the direct language to dismiss green levies, which go towards paying for renewables and helping the poor cut their usage. He has already promised to roll back green costs, which currently make up £112 of the average bill, over concerns about the record energy prices. owning Street denied the "vague" report, saying they did not recognise the language when asked about the phrase "green crap". However, they did not appear to deny the sentiment, pointing out Cameron has repeatedly promised to roll back to green taxes.
