“I care more about the young family getting on the housing ladder than I do about protecting some snails,” said Rachel Reeves, blaming bats and snails for the HS2 failure, reducing a complex failure to a ridiculous soundbite.

Another nail in the coffin re my labour membership! Oh wait, I already left because of multiple more important failings, none of which can be blamed on bats or snails.

It does seem that amongst the many things Reeves either doesn't understand or understands and doesn't care about; is that when she insults one "insignificant" element of nature she sticks two fingers up at anyone who cares about environmental collapse by extension. She's staggeringly disconnected from the wider reality in reaching for tabloid quotes.
