2/2

#Starmer had a #GreenPledge that he spectacularly dropped before being elected.

Because suddenly #Renewables , #Retrofit and #ClimateAction were too expensive to actually do in government or did chasing #Reform ‘s coattails mean conveniently #Labour no longer needed to care?

On Friday they realised they lost whole swathes of voters across the country they’d taken for granted. Now they want them back less than a week later.

Were there ever any workable plans? Have these been resurrected?

Labour scrapping £28bn green pledge could leave UK colder, sicker and poorer

Decision to abandon key policy decried as ‘economically illiterate’ reaction to short-term political pressures
